  • Preparations

    Coming for ya, originally uploaded by hellocatfood. Preparing for the Insectoid! performance in London next Thursday. Just a little preview for ya!

  • iPod Linux

    iPod Linux, originally uploaded by hellocatfood. I’ve been further experimenting with gadgets! This time I’m trying to get iPod Linux onto my iPod (who woulda thunk it!). I’m trying to get it to work so that I can install pdPod (based on PureData (a derivative of Max/MSP)) on it. To see what it’s capable…

  • New Chip Tune – Dolphins

    Project planning can get really tiresome and boring, so I spent the bulk of my evening learning how to use LSDJ better, with help from a tutorial on 8BitCollective. Here are the results: [audio:Dolphins.mp3] I’m having a few problems with the volume at the mo. You can probably hear a very quiet noise in…

  • Drawing practice

    Drawing practice, originally uploaded by hellocatfood. Even when you’ve been a practicing artist for years, it’s always good to go back and relearn something. I’m learning from the Andrew Loomis books

  • My first chiptune

    I made this quite awhile ago on Trippy H, but only now found the damn cables to show y’all. [audio:keys.mp3] It’s essentially just a loop, but that’s one of the limitations of Trippy H. My cart flasher should be arriving tomorrow so I’ll start making actual songs from then.

  • I’m on the Printer

    I’m on the Printer, originally uploaded by hellocatfood. Now I’ve got a Gameboy Printer as well. Not really needed for any projects, but it’s just a bit of fun! It’s amazing how awful the quality is, but at the same time that’s what makes it so cool!

  • Birmingham Visual Arts Coalition

    It looks like I’m now part of/somewhat involved with Birmingham Visual Arts Coalition that was advertised this time last month. A couple of the artists had a bit of a meeting on Saturday and, well, lets just say I’m very interested in seeing where this is all going to go. It’s all very exciting,…

  • If You Go Down In The Woods Today

    A followup to the last post. Here’s the blurb from the video caption: Insectoid went to Earlswood and engaged in a silent, collaborative painting experiment. We decided the basic plan beforehand, but no verbal communication took place during the 2.5 hours of painting. The process of carrying back to the studio had an effect…

  • Painting

    Painting, originally uploaded by hellocatfood. Not much else to say on this one. More info on the painting coming later.
