Another evening wandering around New Jersey with a chance late night car explosion on the George Washington Bridge when I crossed back to New York.
I had the pleasure of designing artwork for three new albums over the last year. The most recently completed is actually the first to release, the debut s/t record from my friends Clock Ruins! Check out their classically jagged postpunk on Spotify, Apple Music, Youtube, blaring out of a car window near you.
A favorite example of modernist home architecture in Fieldston, Bronx, from three angles.
It’s the last night of Antimatter Media Art, and the closing program, “Light Leak” kicks off with my film of the same title, at Deluge in Victoria, BC, at 8pm PST, Saturday October 29. Or catch the whole program tomorrow streaming on their site. It’s been a spectacular festival all around this year, looking forward to these final programs.
