I randomly stumbled across this blog from a science news website. I feel as tho I should have been exposed to something as awesome as this sooner. Much much sooner. It’s a got a fucking fractal teddy-bear! How cute is that?! Possibly even cuter than this. Cuteness levels are approaching critical mass here people.

Mandelbrot, the fractal teddybear

In other news, I finished up Charlotte’s Inner Monologue today. Very pleased with the music for it, I’ll post it up once I’m done polishing it (everything needs a good polish). I still need to fiddle around with the key it’s in so it flows well from After Dinner with Cam right before it. Which reminds me, I recently stumbled upon GarageBand and I’ve gotta say, it’s an incredibly useful program that I wish was available on PC. But since it’s not, my next big purchase evidently is gonna be a Mac Mini. The left hemisphere of my brain salivates in sweet, untangible, anticipation.

Today I was directed to, quite possibly, the coolest thing I have ever seen. It’s a blog (naturally) called AnnaTheRed’s bento factory and it’s about, well, just look.

She MAKES this stuff.... HERSELF!

I would pay good money for a meal this gastronomically creative. Art should penetrate everything like a burly inmate, enriching our lives with culture and insight. Also; IT LOOKS DELICIOUS.

She’s got bento boxes with scenes from Super Smash Brothers, Wall-E, Spirited Away and lots more. Totally cool stuff. I might have to attempt this with sushi sometime….

Luigi and Toad Futo Maki anyone?

Well I’ve finally caved in and started up a blog. Someplace to keep people updated with my latest artistic endeavours. Now that Dysfunction (the musical I’m composing the music for) is on the home stretch to being completed, I can spend a more time working on paintings. I’m doing up a batch of various styles that I want to have completed by Christmas, I figured they’d make nice gifts for some family and friends. Once we’re into the new year I’m going to look at selling some of my paintings locally and over the interwebs.

That’s about it. Don’t want to overwhelm it with the first post. Blogging is serious business after all.
