Swoon's Swimming Cities of Switchback Seas

So so so fucking neat!!!

A Toxic Brooklyn

So I watched this series of 7 videos this morning. Its so sad how things like this can happen. It's hard to see people have such disregard for the life of another human being. To watch the last 6 parts, go to http://www.vbs.tv/video.php?id=742311878

Shepard Fairey N.A.S.A Project Video

N.A.S.A. "Money" feat. David Byrne, Chuck D, Ras Congo, Seu Jorge, & Z-Trip from Paul Griswold on Vimeo.
This video is amazing, I really want to do a project like this soon. So Evan, Alex, you guys in? Someday guys we need to do something like this. Shepard Fairey is one of those artists that inspire me so much. Not only can your art be used to make a living, but to spread a good message and get people involved in this world they live in too. Someday my stuff will do that, at least that's the plan.

This is what Shepard Fairey had to say...
“I worked on a video for my friend Sam Spiegel’s(AKA Squeak E Clean) N.A.S.A project. The song is called “Money” and is a collaboration between Sam and David Byrne of The Talking Heads and Chuck D. of Public Enemy. The song is great and the video turned really well. Syd the animator did a great job.”

A fun little awesome video post, for this cold Monday day in December.

Cube Painted by Upper Playground

Four of my absolute favorite artists, doing what they do best. Upper Playground artists Alex Pardee, Jeremy Fish, Sam Flores, and David Choe painting a cube, so fucking awesome, wish I could have been there to see it. If you have not seen their art yet, look them up. I hope to someday be as good as these guys.

WALL-E

I can not get enough of this movie. I love it so much. Well done Pixar, I don't think you have let me down yet. If you have not seen it, I strongly recommend it. The story is one of Pixar's best yet.

Flight Of The Conchords Season 2

I am so excited. You want to be excited with me?

Stolen Dreams

Stolen Dreams; A thyroid cancer survivor story


Anyone want to move to a different country with me? I'm seriously considering it.

The Wireless Geeks

Yes, that is Alex and I on the front page of the CTIA Wireless website for this years show. This was taken like two years ago, and I guess the CTIA people think we are some sexy bitches. I guess we were big in the wireless industry back in the day. So if anyone wants the full website view of us looking like idiots in LA, go to ctiawireless.com. Shit we look like fuckin goofs.

The Great Beard Off is off

That's right, the great beard off of 08 at Giant Interactive, is off. It saddens me to say, but it is true. Our Boss was the first to bail, meetings, wife, ect. Alex was also not able to keep the beard going, for model reasons. This wont be the death of beard off I say, it shall return.

The Great Beard Off of '08

So, one reason why its awesome to work at Giant Interactive, Beard Off. That's right, all five of us guys, Alex, Me, Kevin, Brian, and Sean are going to grow beards from now until the Christmas party on Dec. 10th, for the Giant Crew Christmas card. Here is a picture of my current state...

I think I have a ways to go.

RocknRolla

People ask the question... what's a RocknRolla? And I tell 'em - it's not about drugs, drums, and hospital drips, oh no. There's more there than that, my friend. We all like a bit of the good life - some the money, some the drugs, other the sex game, the glamour, or the fame. But a RocknRolla, oh, he's different. Why? Because a real RocknRolla wants the fucking lot.

Guy Ritchie is back! I fucking loved this movie. I highly recommend people go see this one, if you liked his other movies, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch, and Revolver,...that piece of shit love story he made with Madonna does not count,... you should see this one. I went a saw it last night with a bunch of friends. I would love to see it again, so if anyone would like to go with me, just let me know.

08ama CHANGE

Well we did it people. But this is only the beginning. Lets see how Obama deals with his promise of change. I feel like he and we have a lot of cleaning to do, to this country. The last 8 years really fucked it up. I almost feel like we are getting rid of a dictator, with the way Bush fucked all of us. Fuck the patriot act, fuck the war and fuck anything like it. It is true, Its time for CHANGE in this country, and I will do my part to help out wherever I can. All I want is a government that tells the truth, and I don't feel bad for asking for it. I want to thank the Hope Manifest Show and everyone that was a part of it, during the DNC here is Denver. It really inspired me to see artists like myself, taking part in politics. The image above was done by Shepard Fairy, and was easily my favorite. The picture was taken by JoyEngine. I will be getting a camera very soon, thanks to Evan, so I can post my own pictures.

Empire

Another awesome bike video from New York.

Someday I will go to NYC and on my bike, discover all it has to offer.

08ama Special for those who missed it!

This is why he has my vote. Come on people, humanity before patriotism.

Birthday (1am-5am)

After everyone started leaving, some choice friends and I decided to make the best of what we got. Most of the documentation was made by Alex and his cell phone camera...

This is an incredible animation...

Birthday That Hit Hard

My birthday was awesome, and it was not because I got super drunk or because I turned 26. It was because of the people that mean the most to me, the ones I don't ever want to lose. A big portion of my life has been dedicated to finding ones to share my life with, people that mean the world to me, and I really do believe I have some of the greatest friends and girlfriend a guy could ask for. I really don't know what to say about the gift I received. It hit me where it counts, my heart. I want to thank everyone for an awesome evening, and special thanks to Brian, Nick, my Sis, and Sandi for the train cars they made me. I really want to thank Kristy and Alex with that organ that gives me life, my heart, that I would give to either of you, at a moments notice. This birthday meant so much to me, I can't thank you two enough. Below are some pictures of my present, a present I will hold on to as long as I can.

Thunderheist-jerk it

I was introduced to this video and band the other day, and I love it. As many know, this is not my normal field of music, but this video is just awesome. Just something about a song and video that's simple, and very well done. Plus, it doesn't hurt to add in a sexy girl and some hidden sexual themes.
