I'm FINALLY back to it. Let's Celebrate!!

So yeah folks, I'm finally back on my grind. And for those who didn't quite get that ...I Jonathan Sears am feverishly getting work done at an extremely demanding pace.

As I mentioned in my last post, I have a show quickly approaching out in the midwest to complete a piece for; so therefor art will happen. Above is a teaser of what I've been working on. It's approx. 30 seconds from the three minute animation/video that takes place near the beginning of the sequence (starting around the 35 second mark). The working title for the piece is: 
The Spinning Mind of the Determined: A Self-Portrait. 
I hope you enjoy it. And if you'd like...

Much work needs to be completed, so back to my cave I go.

More info on the show can be found HERE.

Peace,
Jonathan

P.S. I hope you have time to enjoy the Song of the Moment this time around (and if you can't follow quick enough, click the YoutTube link, then click "more info" to the right for the lyrics). And if you enjoyed it, check out all three exhibits HERE!

Back to the pursuits...

This posting is just to say thanks to all who helped me celebrate the other night. I had a good time sipping beverages and roaming the streets of DC with y'all ...till we meet again.

But now it's back to the pursuits. I have about two weeks to finish an animation that will be showing at the end/into the new year. A lot of work needs to be done, so to my cave I go! And I'm sure I'll post some screen-caps or short clips soon, so stay tuned.

Happy Hanukkah (and 12/12 of course).

So yeah, I used to be jealous of my brother because his birthday is 3/27 and eeeeevery once in a while the date coincides, and he's able to have an easter birthday ....which is pretty cool if ya ask me. At any rate, now I'm excited, as for the first time that I can remember my B-Day falls on a holiday. Hooray! Happy first day of Hanukkah to all of my friends of the Jewish faith.

And if you want to help me have a good time today, a few of my planned activities  are below:

• 9:30a - 12 noon --> Day starts with shopping and the gym
• 12:15p - 1:00ish -->Early afternoon cocktail at The Embassy Suites Bar (downtown DC/Chinatown)
• 1:15p - 2:15ish --> Check out the Artistic Aya trunk show at 1336 9th St NW (Click here for details)
• 2:15p - 7ish --> Let the blowing of the wind dictate the next move, eat, drink, (probably nap) & get ready for the night
• 7:30p - 8:45ish --> Visit Hamiltonian Artists (gallery) for an opening of fellow Terp, Jonathan Monaghan & co.
• 9p-10ish --> Dine at Oohhs & Aahhs (U St) or Marvin (14th near Ust), and enjoy some chicken and waffles
• 10:30 until ---> Nothing's in stone, but bar hopping, "cutting-the-rug" and good times are on the agenda. I'll be posting updates at http://www.twitter.com/JonathanBeach.

I hope to to see ya out at some point.

Cheers,
Jonathan

Feeling YF&N today...

Young, Fresh, & New was my mood when I woke up today. Maybe it's because my birthday is only a couple of days away (itinerary coming soon). Maybe it's because I have an art show approaching quickly to display a new animation of mine. Maybe it's because VA's own Clipse just dropped a stellar album (the featured song of the moment is from that effort -- Till the Casket Drops). Or maybe it's because I found 5 or 6 DVDs the full of old music the other day, and have been jamming out since. To note, the video above is from one of those albums -- Kelis's (import-only) second album Wanderland ...back up your music folks as it always feels good to rediscover lost tunes.

At any rate, I just realized I haven't updated this blog in a while -- simply have been reCollect(ing) Creative of late -- so I thought I'd do so. 

And I hope to see you this Saturday to help me celebrate. As of now I know I'll be hittin the Artistic Aya Trunk show & the opening at Hamiltonian Artists (where fellow Terp Jonathan Monaghan will be showing)!

Peace,
Jonathan
