How to Find a Computer Modeler/Illustrator?
by Guest Wall Bird- 9 replies
- 853 views
Hey all, I’m in the process of putting together artwork for a new music project and am searching for an artist who can create computer models and textures in the style of Can Pekdemir, notably the hair, fur, and skin textures of his ‘Fur’ and ‘System Structure’ series. So far, I’ve been unable to find anyone who fits the bill, nor do I know many people who do this kind of illustration. Does anyone have a friend/acquaintance who does this stuff, or know of any good resources where I may be able to find a computer illustrator? Geographic proximity is not a requirement. Though it’s a plus if they’re anywhere near Austin, TX. I'm not necessarily trying to recreate the human…

my friends been doing these fairly obscure Father Ted related drawing for a while now, starting to get some attention, thought i'd share with any other potential Father Ted fans on here: http://www.comedycentral.co.uk/tv/articles/this-japanese-artist-has-been-drawing-father-ted-every-day-for-100-days?fb_ref=fbshare_web http://www.shotakotake.com/#!ted-a-day/c13dx Funnily enough he also operates as a DJ under the "DJ Father Fintan Stack" moniker, playing, you guessed it!...

rMBP External Monitor Issue

Anyone run a non-Apple external monitor through the rMBP's HDMI output? Extended display looks absolute shit. This helped a little bit, but display still looks kinda like a compressed jpeg. Anyone ever had this issue and resolve it?

http://www.wsj.com/articles/another-minimum-wage-backfire-1439249236 This is a little laughable. I love how it's flipped around. "It's all the 'progressives' fault and they caused this" "Because we'd need to start paying a wage that makes it so our employee's can live somewhat more comfortably at a few dollars an hour - I guess we're FORCED to cut jobs" As if the company is sitting on razor thin margins of profit and has CEO's taking daily pay-cuts to help the company break into the black Blah Blah Blah inflation blah blah blah income inequality. It's amazing how some people will step on the heads of others sinking in the river to keep afloat rather than put a…

i think i and many others tend to have a habit of revisiting and editing/adding more information to the recently posted post, but the current editing grace period is kinda short. i know this can be used for trolling and such but i think we're way beyond such worries on watmm. so joyrex, pls.

I just finished watching this PBS special on Italian Americans and even though ultimately I think national pride is stupid and irrelevant I do think that culture plays a part in influence and especially so in music. I am an avid collector of italian music in many forms from 60's 45's of italian music which is mainly funny covers of american music to the vibrant current day underground hip hop of my family s native Napoli. There is also tons of great Italian psyche and Prog rock as well as Jazz and all kinds of music that I think does have a specific italian sound. So that being said how many italian makers of IDM, Braindance etc etc are there here on WATMM ? I know …

Vikings series
by Guest kymppinetti- 7 replies
- 1.4k views
Recently, I've been watching this show. It's decent, nothing really special, but it's fun to watch. Imo, the first season was great, but after it, the show seems to loosing it's touch. Nothing new there: there is only hand full of shows (what I've seen) that didn't turn out to be poop. I've made a thesis about vikings when I was in high school. So, you could say I know something about these sexy hairy men. Many times the show makes me want puke to the fact how they fuck things up. Little things like for instance: I preatty sure vikings didn't call themselves as 'vikings'. And also the fact that the show only uses the writings of the monks, which were in this case …

Daily Show 1 2

A little sad - the show was consistently funny, and Stewart was usually pretty on point with his calling of bullshit. Not always, but usually. I didn't really start watching until about ten years ago, after his crossfire appearance. I didn't start watching consistently until his epic takedowns of Glenn Beck. It's been a fun ride, with many laughs. A little sad to see him go, but I think Trevor Noah will do a great job as his replacement.

the film "the crow" came out when i was 12. at the time that was like THE fucking movie for me. my dad was really into bruce lee as a young man, he had a collection of books, magazine, posters, etc. and he knew all the films inside and out. he even taught me nunchucks and shit. so naturally when i got into the crow he and i bonded over the brandon lee thing. anyway, the crow. shit was legit. the soundtrack? got that shit from the mall, one of my first cds. lots of cool tracks on there but for me the nine inch nails one was just on a whole other level entirely. this was the same year "the downward spiral" came out and the "closer" video was on mtv all the time. i became a …

Just watched this, it's IDM as fuck and well worth a watch: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b065y1dx/storyville-20142015-27-atomic-living-in-dread-and-promise It's a documentary about the atomic era made entirely of archive footage with no narrator as such, and a quality soundtrack by Mogwai. Really bleak and frightening, kind of beautiful in places too. A couple of images stuck with me- especially the scenes of a British family preparing for a nuclear attack (taken, I think, from the fictional The War Game film from 1965). Fill the bath, brick up your windows, get a bucket and some Jeyes fluid for pissing/shitting. So bleak. That, and the hopelessly …
