beatmix

After returning home from an inspiring trip to Thailand I was challenged to put together a beat mix in the matter of a week and a few days. I gathered a few samples I had including field recordings out of country, old records and whatever else I could find. This mix is the product of piecing simple ideas together. I hope you enjoy it, more to come. HA!

Digital Artist Magazine Article

I was recently asked to share some thoughts in Digital Artist Magazine on self promotion and portfolio presentation. Pretty cool to be in there with Kristina Collantes, much respect for her art. Pick up a copy here!

The end result...

My good friend Santino of KILL QUANTI and I put our creative energy together to promote and support the growing beat scene that is becoming widespread around the world. This poster was made for an upcoming show in San Diego.

COMPUTER ARTS EXPOSURE / HALF ASLEEP

I'm featured in the March 172 issue of Computer Arts! I have been following this magazine since I first stumbled upon it in high school. It's a surreal / humbling experience to be in it.
