In 2025 I have finally refined my process to distill the most basic element, individual points. However, the process is much more complicated than using a pencil or even prompting an AI for that matter. You would have to know what you are doing with MAYA and AFTER EFFECTS to re-create this.I performed all production tasks.This project is impossible to create with AI. NO AI WAS USED.

In 2025 have finally returned aesthetically to where I started as an artist, scribbled lines. However, the process is much more complicated than using a pencil or even prompting an AI for that matter. You would have to know what you are doing with MAYA and AFTER EFFECTS to re-create this. I performed all production tasks. NO AI WAS USED. Sound collage by newmetaphysics.com

MAYA • AFTER EFFECTS

personal

This project was the recipient of a Baker Artist award in Baltimore in 2022 and the video was displayed in a gallery show for the award winners at the Peale Museum, the oldest museum building in the United States. Exploration of visual effects techniques used as a fine art medium. The repeated erosion and layering of commercial signage on a billboard that has been in use for many years, but fallen into decay, revealing many layers of different images like tree rings or Strata in a rock, was the inspiration visually. However, the time is fast forwarded so we can watch the process evolve. It is a meditation on impermanence and the beauty of chance. NO AI WAS USED, only traditional visual effects techniques that I learned working on movies and TV.  NO AI WAS USED.

These videos were made in 2025 using AI to edit and animate 3d still renders I created 2020-2021. The big development is that AI makes forward motion possible in a much more dynamic way.
