Wonder Hand








Psychobuildings song lyrics on a scribbly piece of paper.  The imagery overtook the words.   It is now a drawing of and for the shadow people.

The Fall & Clark Company

I've gone through some phases of deep listening to The Fall.  

This clip is from their album I Am Kurious Oranj-- a collaboration with the dance troupe Michael Clark & Company.  I like how loosely the band is integrated within the stage set and the dancers.  I love the playful costume design too.

Psychobuildings appreciates a nice checkered floor. 

Good 80's Fall, fall fall…

Hello Jupiter...

Hello Jupiter!  This picture, taken by the Hubble Telescope, has been my desktop backdrop in the "tile" format for a while.  Our base player Emily thought it would look cool on a t-shirt.  It's time to silkscreen!  

I like the minimalism and the strange palette of this image.  With their surprising color and interplay of basic geometric forms, some of the designs that artist Ryan Johnson has made for Psychobuildings (7"s and upcoming EP) have a similar look and feel.

The picture's up on the Hubble website under Jupiter.  If you're curious about the neon pastel colors or the weird dark spots it's worth the read:
