I recently walked away from a long-term “contract”. There was some dishonesty on the client’s side and things quickly escalated. The whole thing turned into a pretty huge joke…

The lesson to learn – always start with a contract – even if you trust the client like you would a homeboy. People are hungry for that money. Some real “live, laugh, learn” bullshit.

Exploration – Human beings are adventurers; exploration a part of our essence. We long to push back boundaries, to uncover. The unknown, whatever it may be, calls to us. We are driven to understand the nature of the universe, ourselves, and beyond. The frontier is everywhere.

Expansion – Yet this exploration is not the end of the frontier – it is not the end of the unknown. The frontier is simply moved to greater heights, and still it calls us. This is the paradox of our ever-expanding sphere of knowledge; the more we come to know, the more we contact the vastness of the unknown. The known and unknown is in constant flux.

Reciprocity – And the frontier, in moving to greater heights, has been changed by the very exploration of it. And the explorer, too, has been changed, acquiring knowledge and adapting to this new knowledge. The quest for knowledge forces change.

Wow, I finally did an update on here… I have had way too many things on the go lately – which cramps my consistency. Anyway… here is some stuff I recently did for Indian Summer – the debut EP from the electronic duo Falcons.

Here are a couple of alternates from my recent site update. The type based image was a lengthy mess around in Cinema 4D, and the photograph was studio photo / Cinema combo – the chick is my little sister.
