I’ve been working on new pieces lately but not in the usual way. For the past 3 months or so, I’ve been a part of something called Schoolhaus/A4. It’s the result of the work of Dan Ibarra of Aesthetic Apparatus and Zak Sally of La Mano (and the band Low). You can read about it here: READ ABOUT SCHOOLHAUS HERE (and more here) READ ABOUT SOME OF THE STUDENTS HERE (including me) (Pollen’s site is all-new too and so far, I’m liking it) I’ve been a big fan of Dan and Zak’s work for a long time and it’s been a privilege to get to know and learn from them. I believe in what they’re doing and want to see what happens to it in the future. I’ll be posting more work from home and Schoolhaus/A4 on the site soon. And look for a big art project from the Schoolhaus/A4 students soon.
Yes, the entire movie. I can’t tell you how many times I watched this one as a kid. I was always so jealous of all the toys the government bought the kid when he was held prisoner for scientific testing.
You can download (free) and stream our first album now on Soundcloud to celebrate 10 years of its existence.
Originally self-released March 2003, this is an album made by Ryan Masterson, Nick Sander, Aaron Hagebak, Jacob Swogger and Ryan Rupprecht of Minneapolis, MN.
This is the motorcycle that inspired my SG illustration. I had seen it on some blog (sans credit of course) a few months ago and it was rattling around my brain. Well now I know who’s responsible - it popped up during some other search with some clues to follow - so I wanted to put that up here. Awesome stuff. http://datanoster.tumblr.com/
beerfaces asked: What ever happened to The Umbrella Sequence? They haven't had any web presence in years, and I can't find any explanation anywhere. I'm a huge fan, but unfortunately only learned of the band after they stopped communicating with the world. Thanks for your time, Steve.
I just noticed I that I never answered this.
The Umbrella Sequence is alive but in a strange way. The band was working on a new record in 2008 and then it got derailed by various life forces, some good, some bad. 4+ years later, we’re trying to share more music with the Earth although it’s been difficult to get that done. I hope that someday we’ll have a record of some kind for you though. When we do, we feel it will be our best work to date. Cheers.
