1968 Cougar Project - From Grandma Green to slick two tone custom paint. Follow along as we update this Cougar.
Lockdown birthdays are a bit shit, but you can have a party with not many people!
Today was Sue's birthday, and the lack of guests didn't stop me putting up a few banners and balloons.
With some video chat and a driveby visit or two, as well as some nice surprise cards, Sue ended up having a decent day, which was lovely.
It was further helped along by the fact that her present from me which I thought had been had off by a delivery driver had actually been dropped with a neighbour but not recorded, and he apologetically dropped it off yesterday. Great save! :)
So far this year about the only thing this old plow truck has been good for is breaking down.

As a Grade 11 biology project, I had my class create models of plant or animal cells. The catch? They had to be made out of edible materials.

Over the course of Devin Townsend’s storied career, a single constant has persevered: change. As far back as Steve Vai’s Sex & Religion, which Townsend fronted, to 2001’s landmark full-length Terria to the multi-instrumentalist’s country rock outfit Casualties of Cool to his stunning new album Transcendence, the Canadian isn’t too interested in keeping an even musical keel. To stay the proverbial course is, well, anathema. For certain, he’s far too impatient to write the same Strapping Young Lad song over and over—which is why he folded the band in 2007—and it’s likely there will never be a fourth or fifth Ziltoid album (a third if we’re lucky) because by that point he’ll be in a totally different frame of mind for galactic puppets gone awry.
“The Devin Townsend Project is still essentially a solo project,” he reminds. “One of several, but the difference is that I've had a dedicated team of talented folks here that really had great ideas. of the ways I consciously stepped out of my comfort zone was to the solicit feedback from not only the band, but also to production and engineering. Opinions from people I trust at the management and label, and all with a sense of building a kind of archetype of the DTP sound that would not ostracize people who enjoy the style, but keeping it fresh for me as well. One of the things I did was present my vision—which I’ve always done—and within that framework, I’d massage it with the team. For this record, in those sections, I’d bring it to the band and say, ‘Look guys, here’s what it’s supposed to do. This is how it’s supposed to make me feel. And how the audience is supposed to feel. This is how it interacts with the parts prior and after. That’s why it exists. It’s not complicated because we’re trying to jerk off here. It’s complicated because, in my mind, the emotional component of the section is complicated. But in lieu of how quickly I tend to purge music I’m thinking: how can we make it cooler while I can still move quickly? 'Here’s the basic chord structure guys, this is what I think it should basically do, be it angular or in thirds or whatnot... Dave [Young; guitars] and Mike [St-Jean; keyboards] Ryan (VanPoederooyen: drums) and Brian (Waddell: bass) , can you think of something cooler there? I’ll be back tomorrow.’”
“It took a year to try and figure out a template for what DTP should be and still be of interest to me,” remembers Townsend, “And as much as I’ve been a control freak for so long, I’m also at an age where I recognize those elements—like friends—in my life are ultimately more important than music, and the need to control something like the DTP at this point is more rooted in insecurity now that necessity. I do enjoy being part of a team. I like to think after so many records with these guys that I don't really have to be at the center of everything. I can trust a team of people—the right people—to help where I need help. I need an engineer who has better ears than me. My ears are getting tired after all these years. If you put together a team whose strengths are better than yours, and then you put in your strengths, then what comes out of it, for no other reason than for an experiment, is really cool. And in line with my need for a project to have a theme to draw me into it, That’s what this records theme became. It’s an experiment put to music. If anything really kick started the inspiration for the record, it was that. The desire to get the DTP 'right' for what it is.”
Recorded at The Armoury Studios in Vancouver, Canada with Townsend and Adam ‘Nolly’ Getgood (Periphery, Animals as Leaders), Transcendence sounds absolutely massive. From the moment ‘Truth’—a re-work from the Infinity album—monstrously blends into the soul-stirring ‘Stormbending’ to the undulating cool of mid-point jam ‘Secret Sciences’ and Ween cover ‘Transdermal Celebration’, Townsend and crew have engineered a modern-day classic. The sheer scale of tracks like ‘Failure’, ‘Higher’, and the majestic title track is at once daunting and inviting. Transcendence pulls the listener in like a movie score. It has the emotional heft of Rosenman’s Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home and the mega-riff power of Black-era Metallica.
Even if Transcendence had its 'bikini wax' moments—(Townsend metaphorically refers to his process as 'professionally hitting myself in the face with a hammer')—the final product is fantastic. In many ways, it’s typical The Devin Townsend Project, however there is now an inviting sense of depth and relative breathing room in the sound. Always professional and sonically awash in darks, lights, and colors between, it turned out not only to be an acceptable new DTP record, but arguably one of the best. What also added to the overall quality was the addition of five guest musicians—including but not limited to ex-The Gathering vocalist Anneke Van Giersbergen, vocalists Ché Aimee Dorval and Katrina Natale—and a five-person choir called Tigers In A Tank. Their contribution to Transcendence’s overall ambiance is noteworthy and necessary.
“Well, I love working with female vocalists because I’m not particularly fond of singing and I really react emotionally to female voices,” posits the frontman. “I kind of fell into singing. I could never find someone who would sing like I wanted, so I begrudgingly took the job. Anneke’s obviously worked with me for a while now. Ché was on this record because she was with me in Casualties of Cool. And Katrina sang one song on the Ghost album. Also, I wanted the three of them on this record if this was to be the last DTP record. They bring it all together. So, sticking with the same people is the same reason I’ve been married for so long. Once I find great people, I have no need to look elsewhere for the similar things. It’s kind of great as it eliminates option paralysis in that area, though as different needs arise, often things evolve as well. As for the choir, it’s typically been inefficient. For the last record, I went to Amsterdam and it was crazy. I went to Sweden and it was cool but super-expensive. On Epicloud, I had a gospel choir, but had to over-dub a lot. For this one, I asked my buddy Eric [Severinson] to find three capable women and two men. I was able to create the choir by doing over-dubs and recording on-the-fly. It turned out great and it was very efficient.”
With over 60 songs in the bag for Transcendence, (not all, he is quick to point out, of the same quality) Townsend obviously had to pare down. The songs that made it, however, are breathtaking in their scope, beautiful in their presentation, and heavy—noticeably—enough to out-bombast the sum of The Devin Townsend Project’s previous full-lengths. Certainly, Townsend knows how he feels about the songs on Transcendence (and its accompanying second disc). Each song, from ‘Truth’ and ‘Secret Sciences’ to ‘Stars’ and ‘Offer Your Heart’, provoked a reaction from the man.
“My litmus test for whether or not a song or a record is working is really about my visceral reaction to it,” Townsend says. “If I react to it, then it’s correct, for me. That reaction could be repulsion, it could make me cry, it could irritate me, I could be loving it, it’s pretty much all the same. As long as I’m affected by the song, then I know I have something accurate.”
As for the Townsend’s loyal fans? The very fans who’ve been waiting with bated breath for Transcendence?
“If it gives me a reaction, then I hope it’ll contribute something to their world. Ultimately, I'm happy to contribute my observations to the massive sea of music. If there's anything that became clear to me throughout this all is the value of being part of something as opposed to being too concerned about 'being' the thing'
This project was a 130m Long Building in Ljubljana containing 100 apartments and some offices. It has somewhat of a retro style because the city itself kind of demanded it. Created with Sketchup, Vray and Photoshop.

I have to say that i felt good about this when i was done and saw it first but everyone made me feel awful about it. Oh well it has meaning to me and i guess that's what matters. but still, i wish i could change my project now..
well irl people can just ruin things..
It was a wet one in Barrie yesterday, lots of rain and fog but I'm glad to report the snow is back to covering everything today ;-) As it's getting warmer out the birds aren't coming to the feeders as often ;-(

this is a really slowly evolving project.
it started in february when dassa and papyraceous came up with the framed twists which were first done by melisande. I immediately loved this design, especially the backlit view with all those curved lines.
dassa invited people to join in folding those. I said I would.
and I tried. it took me some time to understand the idea, even though papyraceous had told how to do it. the concept is really cool: you fold square twists and then you treat the resulting paper like a new, unused grid and fold open-back square twists which provide the frames.
those big open-back twists presented the next problem. you need some etxra lines that are only slightly off-set to the grid and also quite long. I found it very hard to precrease them properly. which frustrated me so much that I let the project come to a hiatus. the orange piece had had it's first set of twists done in february and has only been completed yesterday.
as you can see I dug out the idea again on the weekend and test-elated it on bigger paper. I used an emboss needle to precrease the lines that gave me such trouble. this works quite well.
now there are two issues I still want to work on. first I want a dark border around the whole model, that should be easy to do. second I want more twists which means a bigger grid. I'll probably do it from tant. soon, I think...
and now it is your turn to fold this, too! after all, it is a gorgeous design ; )
I want to take portraits now that I have this new lighting kit, but I have no idea what I'm doing, and I'm tired of taking pictures of items... With my weird work schedule, I don't always have access to guinea pig models... which means I have to do selfies... even when I'm too lazy to do my hair and makeup (not that I really do it normally anyway...)

MaxArt Project
Un producto de uso cotidiano, un básico de la cocina se transforma en un objeto de deseo al ser intervenido, al mezclar arte y tecnología.
Millones de objetos salen de las líneas de ensamble para convivir con los seres humanos, aunque después de un periodo de tiempo son reemplazados por un modelo más nuevo. Sin embargo, no todos los productos corren con la misma suerte. Alguna circunstancia los puede llevar a un estatus de inmortalidad y trascendencia, convirtiéndose en objetos preciados por el simple hecho de evocar sentimientos, emociones y recuerdos.
La mecedora de la abuela o la guitarra de John Lennon son ejemplos de piezas que se salvan, son aquellos que poseen algo que llamamos significado y que por una u otra razón agregan valor a nuestra vida de una manera diferente que su mera utilidad, son inmortales…por el simple hecho de que nos cuentan historias.
Como parte de la celebración de su 10 aniversario en México y el lanzamiento de su nueva línea de electrodomésticos para cocina 2012, Whirlpool México (www.whirlpoolmexico.com.mx/) presenta MAX ART, proyecto concebido por el equipo del Global Consumer Design de Whirlpool México en conjunto con TOCTOC, una instalación|colección construida por LOS CONTRATISTAS (www.loscontratistas.org), colectivo local de arte urbano en Monterrey, México. Quienes intervinieron más de 50 hornos de microondas, mezclando técnicas de grafiti sobre piezas de alta tecnología con una propuesta lúdico geométrica. Para consolidar y comunicar la ejecución del proyecto, el cineasta regiomontano Javier Garza Yáñez (www.javier garza.mx) realizó un documental en el que se conoce tanto el trabajo de los artistas, como el desarrollo y culminación de la obra (www.vimeo.com/51948666), la cual se presentó el sábado 20 de Octubre por el Director General y VP de Whirlpool México Juan Carlos Puente y el Director de Global Consumer Design Jorge Moreno, gracias al apoyo del Museo El Centenario ( www.muce.org) y el Municipio de San Pedro Garza García.
La intención es brindar esa historia que los salvará de su mera utilidad para llevarlos hacia la trascendencia.

Project SWORD was a TV21 feature built around a very fantastic range of toys as opposed to a TV programme. This Annual featured striking images of the vehicles.
Project 365, Day 32. First semester, done! Today was a really chill day. Chem midterm was decent and I had a really easy swim practice.
Well here is a picture of my friend. This is the first time I used a preset in Lightroom and it came out decently.
Three of the heads from the defunct Doggie Diner Restaurants that used to be around the SF Bay Area. These heads sit on Treasure Island, not too far from the old bowling alley.
What's poppin, y'all?
