Post-Internet-Fast, Pre-Weekend Update
I has a portfolio. I will be adding more to it soon. So far, everything in it is stuff I did between 1997 - 2006. A long span for such a small amount of work, I know. A good portion of work from my more prolific art school years, I never photographed, and then gave away in a fit of non-attachment. Thus most of what’s here is smaller scale stuff I’d scanned at some point or kept stashed somewhere and forgot about. In other words, weird little collages, sketchbook drawings, digital design stuff and film stills from an unfinished stop-motion film project (which I do intend to revive and make something out of one day. Maybe music videos?).
Moving on. Internet fasting rules! I got so much done this week. I wrote some songs (rough sketches of songs anyway), made notable improvement in my drummin’ skillz, nailed several job interviews, applied to a bunch of art/design contract jobs (because while I may have nailed those interviews, they did not terribly impress me… much as it is my dream to become a full-time, underpaid secretary)… What else… made the art/design portfolio, read a great book called The 4-hour Work-week, recorded some new youtubes, plotted and schemed a cool idea with Joe to pool our complimentary mad skillz and become a freelance designer/programmer team, in hopes of freeing ourselves (sooner rather than later) from the evil clutches of the man. Eventually the plan is to get to where we can travel, wherever and whenever we want, working remotely (and minimally) from anywhere. Word… I’m learning Javascript this week.
Generally, the thought-vaccuum left when I stopped reading the internet lead me to do so much more creative thinking, creative creating, and tuning into a deeper well of energy, cool ideas, realizations and numinosities. It also left me with a daunting pile-up of emails, myspaces and youtube messages to catch up on, but it was worth it. (Though, that said, expect little more than a one-or-two-liner if you’re awaiting a reply from me. It’s nothing personal, I’m just trying to keep up my Brooke-mentum with minimizing internet time. Life’s too short, y’know?).
Oh, and I discovered one of the cooler benefits of diligently watering your lawn every night. Lush green grass attracts wild beasts!

That six by six grid inspired one of the weirdest avant garde acoustic slide jams ever to be not captured in any way or heard by anyone.
Oh, and the beast’s eyes are glowing. I’m surprised the flash didn’t scare the poor thing away.
Flash? What flash… :) Those guys were incredibly unphased by anything. They are badass city deer.
