Yesterday, my sister and her boyfriend, Evan were visiting me here in Brooklyn. I told them I was working on my stop motion rig and Evan started to talk about Bruce Bickford. I totally forgot about him. My ex-boyfriend and I saw his shorts so long ago! Born in Seattle, Bruce Bickford makes claymation movies about people, monsters, creatures, and beasts. He transforms all of them into something surreal and beautiful at the same time. He collaborated with Frank Zappa in 1974, creating Baby Snakes. His latest project is called Prometheus' Garden.

On Friday, I ran into Akiko from my stop motion class on the subway! It was so great to see her. She immediately showed me her stop motion videos from her phone. It's a series called Papa cloudy. It's this cute little cloud with a moustache that goes on adventures. It is so fing cute, I can't stand it! She already has 4 videos on her Tumblr account. I am so inspired. I haven't done mine yet, so I need to start and dedicate my time with my own stop motion video. Like her on Facebook too!
Today I am sick. I am always sick it seems. I have chronic bronchitis. I am sick at least once a year, sometimes twice. It really is a miserable experience and such a drag. I would rather work two twelve hour days on the weekend, at the lab than be ill. I think I am also going to get another primary doctor. She is never around and when I see her, I am on time, but I have to wait an hour just to get into her office. Not very efficient with my time or my health. Screw doctors. But on a lighter note, while I was researching phlegm, I discovered this treat. It's a UK street artist, known as PHLEGM! This artist is not a inflamed, mucous sputum, but an urban Brit that paints on factories and abandoned spaces. Nothing new, but I love his paintings and visuals: weird animals, strange creatures, all for free! Check him out! |
