Sound and Vision --a new project!

In addition to being a visual artist, painter, comic book creator, etc., I am also a musician. In fact, I made my living as a professional musician for several years and music has remained a passion of mine ever since. Recently, I have been doing some recording with my youngest son, Ben, in our basement studio  and absolutely loving it!

Then an idea popped into my head. (cue the ominous music)

When I listen to music, I see things in me head. When I look at visual arts, I HEAR things in me head. Why not put together presentations of my new work in video format accompanied with music expressly created for the piece? Not necessarily a "how I painted this" video but more a video exploring the artwork itself. Of course, i can do this the other way round, as well; a presentation of a piece that was inspired by the music!

And, thus, the Sound and Vision project hath been born!

Now I'm all excited and really looking forward to hearing the music that comes from the painting and the painting that is inspired by the music. I hope you enjoy it too! Keep checking this blog for updates and/or follow me on Twitter.

Cheers!
