Stereo Deviance

All eSports, All the time.

2011-10-16T05:26:00.001-04:00

So I made a separate blog, that will be used to display only my eSports work, as well as some random Starcraft/Progaming related projects. Also testing out one of the new templates for blogger, let me know how you guys like it. http://stereodvt.blogspot.com/

A little teaser.

2011-09-14T17:51:00.001-04:00

A little taste of what's to come for the ASL? :) To tell the truth we're undecided as to how the team jerseys will end up looking, (partly because the teams haven't even been picked yet!)but we're working on it!

Glitch

2011-09-12T07:45:00.004-04:00

Stayed up all night. I tend to make weird stuff when I'm up all night. I recently learned about "databending" and "glitch art", so I started to mess around butchering raw image data. Weird stuff, can't say I'd be really into making more, but it was an interesting way to kill time.

2011-09-09T03:30:00.001-04:00

Designed the logo for the new Apprentice Star League! A league built around improving bronze to diamond level players. After speaking to the ASL's founder, I have to say I'm quite excited for this to get up and running and can't wait to take part. eSports!

How I fixed my laptop. For now at least.

Step 1: Open laptop, and clean dust away thoroughly.

Step 2: Remove dead video card.

Step 3: Preheat oven to 385° and elevate card on a makeshift tin foil platform.

Step 4: Bake for 8-10 minutes.

Step 5: Turn off oven, open oven door slightly, and allow card to cool

slowly for 25 minutes before placing into computer.

Step 8: Profit.

WANNA HLD YR HANDHELD, VOL. 1

2010-06-19T02:03:00.005-04:00

A less "traditional" tribute to the Beatles, the 8-Bit Operators' “Wanna Hld Yr Handheld, Vol. 1” is a glitchy, robotic, and catchy remake of 16 tracks by the Beatles, all made all utilizing re-purposed Game Boys, Ataris, Commodore 64s and NES consoles.

Critically acclaimed tattoo artist, Scott Campbell, recently exhibited this incredible (and expensive looking) set of laser-cut wads of one dollar bills. The Collection is titled "Make it Rain" and shows a bit of the artist's darker undertones.

Diversitile Custom Nikes

2010-06-07T10:32:00.001-04:00

Shoe's aren't really something I post about every day but you gotta admit this custom Nikes by Diversitile are pretty damn sweet. As if they weren't over the top enough, the Iron mans and War Machines have plastic "arc reactors" built into the tongues that actually light up. I got over shoes that light up somewhere around age 5 or 6 but that's just me. These shoes are limited edition and it seems no price has been named yet. Check them out on Diversitile.com.

**EDIT: It seems that the Iron Man and War Machine editions are no longer available. Seems that Diversitile and Marvel are currently having a bit of a clash. More info here.

Hayaku: A Time Lapse Journey Through Japan

2010-06-06T03:44:00.001-04:00

An AMAZING time-lapse photography project by Brad Kremer, makes me wish I could take a trip to Japan and see it for myself. Brad Kremer's description of the video:

"Japan is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. This is my Japan. This is one of the many reasons why I love Japan. I shot this in many locations around Japan in the summer of 2009. Some of the location include Tokyo, Matsuyama, Imabari, Nagano, Gifu, and Ishizushisan."

Michael Johnston has spent a lot of time and effort turning Zelda II: The Adventure of Link into a 3D FPS. Admirably, it was a labor of love, and not for profit or fame. Fully playable in your browser, no download required, you have to try it out, it's incredibly awesome.

How to Destroy Angels.

2010-06-04T21:31:00.000-04:00

How to Destroy Angels is a musical group featuring Nine Inch Nails front man Trent Reznor, his wife Mariqueen Maandig and longtime Nine Inch Nails producer/collaborator Atticus Ross. They've released their new EP for FREE on their website. I've listened to it a couple times through already and I gotta say it's pretty decent, if you're into indie/shoegaze type stuff.

"We are all gonna die - 100 meters of existence." This photography project by Simon Hoegsberg, Danish photographer, includes 178 people in 100 meters by 78 centimeters, longest photograph to date. Created in 2007 over 20 days on the same spot on a bridge in Berlin. There's a huge variety of personalities in this photo, definitely worth taking a look.

Adobe Production Premium CS5 by Seagulls

Fly Studios in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Adobe CS5 Launch Event.

2010-04-16T04:07:00.000-04:00

Adobe's Creative Suite 5 has finally been launched. Adobe Creative Suite 5 is much more than an incremental upgrade from CS4. It introduces a host of new features for web designers, graphic designers, photographers, video editors, web developers, media distribution specialists, mobile application developers, and everyone else using Adobe tools for their creative work. Some of the new features, such as "Content Aware Fill" and "Puppet Warp" seem like nothing short of magic, while other features such as the new paint engine, the wider array of 3D options, as well as the many new enhanced photographers tools seem to greatly broaden the variety of projects that can be made in Photoshop.

I have yet to get a good look at the revamped versions of Adobe's other programs such as Illustrator and After Effects, but I think it's safe to assume they've got some pretty crazy new features as well.

Adobe CS5 hits the market later this year.

CHAUSKOSKIS

2010-04-12T22:43:00.000-04:00

I've never been a huge fan of the whole vinyl art toy thing going on with many designers and illustrators. I definitely don't hate it, but it just seems like everyones making the same thing. But this illustrator/designer from Mexico who goes by the tag name Chauskoskis has definitely got a style I could get used to.

"We were the Menace—not in disguise, but stone-obvious drug abusers, with a flagrantly cranked-up act that we intended to push all the way to the limit . . . not to prove any final, sociological point, and not even as a conscious mockery: It was mainly a matter of life-style, a sense of obligation and even duty. If the Pigs were gathering in Vegas for a top-level Drug Conference, we felt the drug culture should be represented. Beyond that, I'd been out of my head for so long now, that a gig like this seemed perfectly logical. Considering the circumstances, I felt totally meshed with my karma."

"We were someplace around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold. I remember saying something like 'I feel a bit lightheaded; maybe you should drive . . .' And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the sky was full of what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching and diving around the car, which was going about a hundred miles an hour with the top down to Las Vegas. And a voice was screaming:'Holy Jesus! What are these goddamn animals?'"

The Art of War.

2009-02-08T01:26:00.001-05:00

If your enemy is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. If sovereign and subject are in accord, put division between them. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected.

- Sun Tzu
