I am very proud to present to you Saltine’s Book of Parables. This hardcover art book is a collaboration between myself and Saltine–world renowned art historian, and former financial manager to the Ford administration. We also collaborated very closely with Cody Sullivan, who Saltine represents in all matters legal and managerial.
I consider this book of ours to be something of a children’s book for adults. Written in Saltine’s unique voice, these parables are witty, succinct, wise, and offer reflections on the wide breadth of human experience. Everything from navigating anal fissures in relationships, to eschewing desperation in bathhouses, and back through again to lessons about setting boundaries, bargains, and how our hair can get tangled up in it all.

This is a video I made about Wet Ink, where they discuss pieces they performed during the 2019 Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival (hcmf). It features pieces by Pierre Alexandre Tremblay, Bryn Harrison, Kristina Wolfe, as well as the ones composed by their own members, Eric Wubbels and Sam Pluta.

Media for the FluCoMa project
November 2019:
The FluCoMa project put on an amazing performance at HCMF this year. The artists involved were: Olivier Pasquet, Owen Green, Lauren Sarah Hayes, Leafcutter John, and my long-time collaborator, Rodrigo Constanzo.
I made this video about them:

I’ve made the logo and video bumper for FluCoMa
What is FluCoMa?
The Fluid Corpus Manipulation project (FluCoMA) instigates new musical ways of exploiting ever-growing banks of sound and gestures within the digital composition process, by bringing breakthroughs of signal decomposition DSP and machine learning to the toolset of techno-fluent computer composers, creative coders and digital artists.
To create these I:
1) Used Affinity Designer – this was the first time I made something for someone else using vectors. I normally draw using traditional media (and I’ll occasionally color using Photoshop)
2) Created and filmed many different types of ink behavior, on paper and in water
3) Revisited my aviglitch library scripts from when I made Its Fleece Electrostatic, to create the glitch effects found in the video bumper
4) Used Final Cut to animate the different elements of the logo for the bumper
5) And of course just sketched a lot using pencil and paper to get initial ideas down, or to try to change the direction of the design.
Here are some key moments in the logo’s evolution (Though it wasn’t exactly as linear as this and I’ve left out some things.)

That’s So Julian
Julian Assange spent nearly 7 years at the Ecuadorean embassy…and boy did things get wacky*! Friends, I obviously had to make a comic book about some of those silly* moments. The book is mine from snout to tail, as I am both the writer and artist. I also got it professionally printed, and I’m self-releasing it.
