  • Artist Trading Card: Artistic Revolution #6
    May 10, 2026
    Artist Trading Card: Artistic Revolution #6

    An afternoon making artist trading cards at Stone Branch Center for the Arts turned into a nostalgic dive into goth and industrial music, surreal collage art, and an absurd “artistic revolution” led by Hello Kitty, ransom-note typography, flowers, & punk-inspired experimentation. Read More

  • Artist Trading Card: Starry Eyes

    Artist Trading Card: Starry Eyes

    I created an interactive double-sided art card inspired by Van Gogh, dreams, and hidden identities. Built from magazine scraps, thread, tape, and improvisation, the project became an accidental experiment in masks, movement, and creative problem-solving. Read More

  • Restoring the Signal

    Restoring the Signal

    Restoring the Signal: an interactive exhibit blending antique telephones, VoIP technology, accessibility tools, voicemail recordings, and community curiosity into a living communications experiment at Stone Branch Center for the Arts. Read More

    Pysanky Ukrainian egg

    A quiet Sunday visit turned into a hands-on lesson in patience, creativity, and imperfection. While decorating a Ukrainian egg, I rediscovered childhood memories, experimented with unfamiliar techniques, and learned that sometimes the process matters more than the outcome. Read More

    3D Model Fly-Through

    Modeled in 1995 using 3D Studio Release 4, this 56K modem fly-through featured custom PCB textures, lofted components, and simulated reflections. Originally rendered as an AVI, it was converted to a GIF due to web hosting limitations and preservation concerns. Read More

  • Stratics: The Ultima Online Tarot Cards
    February 7, 2003
    Stratics: The Ultima Online Tarot Cards

    Created a Major Arcana tarot deck inspired by Ultima Online using layered Photoshop compositions from in-game screenshots, influenced by Ultima’s longstanding tarot symbolism, roleplay culture, and MMO community creativity. Read More

  • Airplane Flyer
    March 6, 2001
    Airplane Flyer

    Experimenting with early DHTML, I captured frames of myself leaning into imaginary wind, planning to attach my oversized head to an airplane. The plane never materialized, but the interactive concept still feels like a game worth revisiting. Read More

  • Peek-A-Boo
    March 6, 2001
    Peek-A-Boo

    Experimenting with a new video camera, I turned a simple game of peek-a-boo into a highly optimized 8-color animation. Built for dial-up speeds, the grayscale footage was compressed to 5 KB and tinted red for stylistic effect. Read More

  • Photo Booth
    March 6, 2001
    Photo Booth

    After taking photo booth pictures to share with an online friend, I scanned the prints and transformed them into an animated slideshow. The result blended early internet curiosity with hands-on experimentation in scanning, editing, and simple frame-by-frame animation. Read More

  • New York
    March 6, 2001
    New York

    Using one of the early public webcams, I captured still frames as the sun set over New York and stitched them into an animation. At a time when webcams were rare, this experiment turned live internet imagery into motion. Read More
