Canadian installation artist, Chris Dorosz, creates portraits and environments by ‘trapping fallen paint drops in a grid work of clear vertical rods.’
Out of material discovery I began to regard the primacy of the paint drop, a form that takes shape not from a brush or any human-made implement or gesture, but purely from its own viscosity and the air it falls through, as analogous to the building blocks that make up the human body (DNA) or even its mimetic representation (the pixel). With this in mind I’ve been working towards creating a narrative of materials as the groundwork to explore changing ideas of human physicality in an age pushing towards virtual reality.

Hallo dear friends! I hope you’re doing very well!! Oh, the past few months have been quite busy for NvP! Please, please forgive us for our irregular posting schedule.
What have we been working on? While Penguin’s been very good about posting the progress of his projects, I’ve been keeping mum about mine. You know I don’t like to keep secrets from you, but I can’t divulge any juicy information on my current illustration project just yet.
In the meantime, let me show you a couple of the finished projects. Some of my hair illustrations will be featured in the book, Hair’em Scare’em, scheduled to drop in October. You can grab a sneak peak here.
BIG, heartfelt thanks to Stefan for including me in his lovely book and to Ophelia and Jeff for posting about my work (which is how the folks at Gestalten found me).
Looks like my friend, Jeremy Deveraturda, is keeping busy. He is currently working on illustrations to accompany short stories (his latest illustration is from the perspective of a man biking through Chile during an apocalyptic disease outbreak).
And would you look at these industrial landscapes! I wonder what’s the narrative behind these.
Jeremy’s work has been featured in The Society of Illustrators, Communication Arts Illustration Annual, DigitalArt.org, UCLA Magazine, The Columbus Dispatch, Gotham, and Capitol File.
So here’s a new song, called These Are My Twisted Words.
We’ve been recording for a while, and this was one of the first we finished. We’re pretty proud of it.
There’s other stuff in various states of completion, but this is one we’ve been practicing, and which we’ll probably play at this summer’s concerts. Hope you like it.
On Monday, we shot the cover for the DVD and the disc of The Intern Project. I also captured some establishing shots from around the office.
This morning, when I came in to work, I was greeted with a fantastic DVD case of Grete’s design. She even went so far as to write some copy for the back of the case. I absolutely loved it!
At lunch, we showed it to some people who had no exposure to the project and the reaction was pretty positive. Most people were interested in seeing it!
I’m really excited and looking forward to cutting this thing together.
Owl City is the moniker for Minnesotan, electro-pop artist Adam Young. Adam dreamed up his melodies while working at a Coca-Cola warehouse job and later recorded them when he returned to his windowless basement room during his insomnia hours. Before being signed to the Universal Republic record label, Owl City gained popularity on myspace with 5 million plays on tracks, such as Hello Seattle. Adam’s hushed vocals and catchy synth loops have earned him comparisons to The Postal Service.
