Hello Maseman

A means to an end

Sometimes a project comes. Sometimes a project goes. As is the case with one that I’ve worked on for about a year now. JPEGWITHME was an experiment in JPEG form. It was fun, it was great, but I’ve got no more time and no more drive to keep it going. I’ll archive it in my projects section soon, but you can check it out for another month before it goes blank forever. Or until someone buys it up and does their thing with it.

Little Wooden Somethings

Getting ready to make something cool out of these wooden pieces I’m making and collecting from friends around town. Should make for a pretty interesting zine over at Crummy House. Make sure to stay tuned and check back to see the others in progress.

Just an old update

Dudes, I’ve been worn out lately. Just working my little fingers to the bone on some radical projects that I’ll be able to tell you about come a month or twenty. It’s been hard to keep this puppy updated, but I’m taking a new approach to blogging. Only do it when you can! So here’s an update.

This is my only SXSW update. I know a month late isn’t much of a blog, but I had a fun time and really ended up taking it easy since the time off from work served as my vacation, too. I worked with my friends at the Fader Fort making a mural and did a video that I posted a while back.

I ended up seeing some good bands and hanging with friends. All in all, SXSW is beginning to become a little more than I can handle. Considering not leaving the house once next year and working on my own pop-indie-sci-fi-rock-dub-house album that will drop SXSW 2016. Get ready.

Other than working, I’ve gotten to get out and hang with my buds. This past weekend we went out to Johnson’s Backyard Garden for a potluck, afternoon-on-a-blanket session. It was fun. Here are some pictures.

I’ll try my best to keep the news and updates coming, but I won’t promise anything. Take care!

Collaboration with Rand Renfrow

This year at SXSW, Rand Renfrow and I teamed up on a mural for Converse and Fader Fort. It was a ton of fun and I can’t wait to team up with Rand again on a project in the future. Our styles mixed pretty rad and our characters seem to enjoy hanging out with each other. Here are a few pictures of the mural before the area was filled with rockstars and industry peeps, chilling and drinking and jamming out.

Much better pics than mine and some SXSW party images!

I was invited to make a video for an event during SXSW for Waller Creek Conservancy in Palm Park.
