I’ve added another song to TheSixtyOne called “Skype Lyfe” which is, of course, one of the songs off of my new album Me Geek Pretty One Day. This is the only song I’ve done with MC Router, and it all started off as her idea. She originally asked me to make her a beat using [...]

Dr. Octoroc’s sprite art with beads
Sunday, April 13th, 2008

When you think about it, beads are the “sprites” of the craft world, so it’s really no surprise that the two should come together. Dr. Octoroc uses Perler plastic beads to breathe new life into classic video game sprites. His newest piece, Gutsdozer, was made using 16,000 beads. By layering the beads, Dr. Octoroc was [...]

Amok ado about nothing.
Monday, March 31st, 2008
