Nomad.Inc

i’ve wanted my own URL for years.
i guess you could call getting your own ‘official’ domain a sort of digital rite of passage.

however, getting one is just the first step.
because then you have to figure out what to do with it.

ANYWAY: this blog will no longer be in service, and i will now be posting exclusively at www.NomadInc.us
i think it’s time that i got honest with myself, and with everyone else.
and for whatever reason, i think i needed a change… something new… to bring about the ability to do that.

thank you for reading this wordpress blog for as long as you have.
it really means a lot to me that you’ve taken the time to read about what’s going on in my life.
everything will still be here if you would like to look around.
i don’t have the patience to move it anywhere.

i hope that we talk soon.

love.

you’ll hurt your eyes…

still working through some kinks, but i like this concept.
don’t stare too long… you’ll hurt your eyes:

zach hill has a way with things.

my friend zach has a way with things.
it’s very rare – in santa clarita at least – that people are willing to really experiment, and do something a little crazy with their art.

zach isn’t one of those people:

what i appreciate about zach (and his work) is his ability to admit that it’s abstract.
that there may very well be no meaning at all behind a piece, beyond the fact that it’s abstract, simple, and beautiful – and that sometimes there is very deep meaning to it.

zach will be proxart’s first artist featured for (online) exposure, and i’m really excited that we’re giving him the opportunity to share his own thoughts behind his work.

you can check him out here, here, and here.

(online) exposure titles – OR – tim’s magic motion

here is what the opening title sequence for (online exposure) will look like – though, there will be a different, and moving, image in the background – after it’s all pieced together using “tim’s magic motion“*:

this is the first go-around with this, but it’s better to start simple, and add more as we go – in my opinion.
simplicity is key.

i’ll post the final video when tim is done.

—————————————————————–
*as i like to refer to it. makes it more mysterious.

to-do.

i’ve got a lot on my to-do list this week, and most of it has to do with proxart:

banner for the site.
banner for (online) exposure.
title sequence with tim for our first (online) exposure video, featuring the paintings of zach hill.
finalize content for our newsletter.
find a new venue for black&white (RIP abbey lane).

the reality is that this isn’t much; it’s not like it hasn’t been worse before.
the problem is that all of these designs have to go from concept to completion… in less than 4 days.
and i don’t want them to look like isht*.

also… i’m finding that trying to work on any kind of to-do list during a normal 8-5 work week is a tough thing to do.

that being said, here’s the first concept I’ve got for the new proxart.com banner:

and here’s the concept that i’m working with for (online) exposure:

we’ll see what happens.

cheers!
