Make a vintage film (video) with your iphone
I found these two great iPhone apps for video editing. 8mm Vintage camera – fun vintage effects and Efexio – 3D animations you can add to your video. Parts of the film Searching for Sugar Man were made with the help of 8mm.

Laurie Shaull filmed the installation of a mural by the extremely talented (and very patient) Nekisha Durrett. It’s installed on the side of Mothership Diner on Georgia Avenue. The documentary is about Nekisha’s mural and artwork and also covers a bit about the history of the neighborhood. It will be showing the evening of Thursday Feb. 19 at Mothership Diner.

A new year – two new paintings
Paintings in progress: Swedish Cow I and II
Happy new year! Some wonderful friends surprised me with a Christmas gift of two large canvases, 24″x24″. Up until now I have been painting on smaller sizes, mostly 8″x10″ and even smaller cigar boxes. While looking at the canvases the day after receiving them I was trying to imagine what in the world I might paint on them. That’s when I remembered these wonderful cows that I had seen and photographed during a recent trip to Sweden. I love their expressions so I wanted to focus on their faces. I really enjoyed changing the way I typically paint-this time I’m trying a freer style, bigger brushes and dashes of vibrant accent color. The cow on the right is nearly complete and the cow on the left is just started.
