Self-portrait (Inside)
I took this shot with my Hewlett-Packard iPaq 3700. It’s a self-portrait reflection of me in one of our frosted-glass tables that we have recently given to Mayday. These tables were beautiful, chrome, and super-spacey, but also super sharp and all Tami and I could think about was Sophie once she started walking falling over [...]
Art Vs. Design
I’ve really been battling between the world of design and the world of art … and the line that divides them. Where *is* that line? This question came up particularly with the 8×8 Remix Series I’ve been working on. As I’ve been working Microsoft projects for so long I’ve started to co-opt some of the [...]
Alicia Dooley
We had a party at the Brooklynhaus that attracted police helicopters and the police forcing DJ Erok to turn down the music he was spinning in the center room. Off that room was the bathroom and the secret door to where we had all of our computer equipment.
Alicia Dooley and her boyfriend Mike Tracey [...]
I Am Not A Bug

“I Am Not A Bug” was created out of the footage shot for a short film I did, “Sometimes It’s Not Enough To Talk About It”, featuring poetry by J.C. Coyle and videography, editing and music done by me. The music can be downloaded here.
Years later I started becoming more interested in digital video and purchased [...]
Paul Cooper
This piece began with a photo contributed by Paul Cooper, one of my friends and co-workers at Avenue A | Razorfish. It really was a great photo to start with. Paul took it using a digital camera in the bathroom of his apartment. I was able to mirror the background which got rid of a [...]
Mardi Gras
It was right after Tami and I had started dating: we met Lacus and E. at their place … newly their place after he had returned from San Paulo, Brazil a few months before. And, of course, they got back together, after one crazy night where Lacus, E. and I went around town with a [...]
America
I took the original video of Mayday on New Year’s eve, 2000/2001. I used a Canon GL1, and captured a still from the miniDV.
Watch the video, which includes the original music track “Earlier …“
At the moment this still was grabbed, Mayday was yelling at our friend, Tim Tompt, about how “nobody bit his fucking [...]
The Last Self-Portrait of 2000
I was living by myself in this little — awesome — "split studio" apartment on Queen Anne. I set my VHS-C camera (codename: the bug) on my counter, and shot some video, from which I took this still shot.
I scanned the the Webster’s Dictionary entry for the word "Failure" and superimposed that scan on top [...]
Organic
Organic began in 1998, while I was living in my apartment on Broadway, here in Seattle.
The underlying image is one scan of my face, which I moved around while the scanner was capturing the image. What resulted was a greatly distorted self-portrait. It reminded me of the “feeling of being organic.” The kind of feeling [...]
