Face it; This is Pretty Cool

– WORKSHOP 6

Hi! I’m posting to show you a thing:

This is called "The LineFade Jump"
This is called “The LineFade Jump”

“Did you make this, Matt?”

Hell yeah I did! This is a very very simple introduction to a new concept I’m working with. Why don’t I tell you a story you don’t need to know? Lean forward and get interested!

It all started with this thing:

This one's called "Slash"
This one’s called “Slash”

I framed this one and when I put it on the wall, I tilted it 5 degrees so that the stripes, NOT the frame, were parallel to the ground/ceiling. I got really happy about this idea, and started wondering “Hey, MANNNN?! Why do we have to always hang our frames the same way?”

I started working on different ways to represent this idea. Most of them have been far too complicated, confused, and overwhelming, but some really nice things are coming out of this notion, including the above. Anyway, I just wanted to show this off, because I’m very pleased. OK, any second now, I’ll stop patting myself on the back..

I’ll be showing many of these in the future at various venues, but first, I’ll have a new Trip Grid at the Wiznu Labs Gallery on Saturday, February 7th! It’s going to be a cool night 🙂

Hey! I forgot to thank you for reading this.

Thank you for reading this.

Stay slimy, everybody!
