EyesDown (Drum Machine Remix) Video

If you’ve been keeping track with us on what’s BOSS & notBOSS, then you know that Anthony F Schepperd is muy BOSS. The man did this little number in a month which is amazing! I love how he makes the fabrication of a ‘human’ fluid and mechanical at the same time. And, of course, keep an eye out for a couple of those AFS phych-warp loops that make me love Anthony more than I could ever describe in a single post (perhaps that’s why this is the 3rd post featuring his work).

ps :: does that ’architect’ remind anyone else of Omar Rodríguez-López?

(I wanna see) Linotype:
The Film

The Linotype looks like one of the craziest and most ambitious machines I’ve ever laid eyes on (after the 234 other machines that exist today and fall into those two categories).

From what I can tell, the damned thing makes metal molds as you type for each line-o-type you type (called a slug). I wonder if you can look around on the ground where newspaper publishers once stood and find slugs much like you could find arrow heads. Although slugs were probably melted down and reused making them extra rare and special. Prob see some hipsters with slugs on a necklace any day now :\

Hit this Wiki to learn more about the machine and hit the film’s site to learn more about the doc and when it’ll be touring to a city near you (see you in Seattle on Mar 7th, fellas!)

Magic Trip’s Kinetic Type

Magic Trip is documentary that used the 16 mm color footage shot by Kesey and the Merry Pranksters
during their 1964 cross-country bus trip in the “Furthur” bus. You
know, THE hippie-dippy bus! And while this documentary is remastered
to perfection and totally worth watching for the whole story… there’s
a particular scene that I am captivated by! Ken Kesey’s voice on tape
while participating in an early LSD study brought to life with new
visuals & kinetic type!

The hand drawn type drags you deeper as Kesey’s voice becomes more and
more weary. They tell his crazy acid stories like you’re there, in
fact, after a while you feel like you’re on drugs too! Fun!

Magic Trip is currently on Netflix instant, but you should watch this scene now!

Phèdre LP

I finally am obsessing on some music that isn’t decade old hip hop! Phèdre’s LP dropped yesterday on Gorilla vs bear and you know I went straight to crankin’ it all day long.

I can’t get over how well this sort of Ariel Pink, Paul Banks, Atlas Sound smoothie that tastes great in my ears as this Seattle spring starts to rear with cold blown kisses from our coquettish sun.

Cory Loven’s Icons

On Cory’s site he say’s he feels that “Creating an icon is perhaps one of the most difficult projects for a graphic designer” and I take that statement and wrap it in a warm blanket of agreement. There’s a sort of simplistic and child-like glee that comes with creating a successful icon, which is part of why I love designing logos so so very much and THAT’S why I’m going to be a legend of branding within 5 years :)

These images have everything that a textbook icon should have, but they’re also lovable. Here’s to falling in love with the triumphs of simplicity, all you future design legends. Now go make something simply wonderful!

ps :: Cory has plenty of other eye candy which I’ll most certainly be sharing with you in the coming weeks

pps :: anyone else see the weird glowing around the icons while you’re scrolling past? wonder what my brain is trying to do causing that optical illusion to be

ps if you actually have enough screens to support all the wallpaper sizes, then you are mad in the cabeza and should lighten up your schedule (but if you go on to put BnB wallpapers on all your screens you’re mad in the awesome!!)

The Whale Story

Originally I wasn’t going to have a post for today, but now at the last possible second, I see this animation and recognize a few of the frames with the whale all tied up and it was driving me mad for about 20 seconds thinking about where’d I’d seen it before, because I knew I hadn’t seen this vid ever. Then I remembered I’d seen it here in Seattle at Cal Anderson Park on Capitol Hill. WHAAA

So I wanted to share some sweet sweet local talent with you BossnotBossers. Let this be a lesson to you: if you throw your talent up on a wall in Seattle, I might see it and I might post about it :)

Big shout to Tess Martin and everyone who helped out on this animation!!!

Tracks I’ve Kept on Loop (2011)

A more autobiographical playlist than the ‘best songs released this year’ standard. This is a collection of tracks that, durring this past year, I’ve kept on loop cuz I dig on ‘em so well I almost broke my ear-shovels. Water ear-shovels? i dunno, I dig with ‘em.

There are tracks released this past year along side some older goodies that I’ve discovered as my tastes evolve and mature. The previous sentence might be the most boring sentence I’ve ever written….sorry, BossnotBossers.

Seattle Snow days :D

It’s the tiny tiny window of the year when it’s super super cold and it snows!! (as opposed to the rest of this time of year when it’s super super cold and it just rains on your face)

When I was a kid and it would snow, my dad would wake me up at 5am and we’d look out the window and watch cars slide around and bump into other cars… then he would take me out in his car and he’d do 360s in his Honda Civic which absolutely terrified me, but he was just laughing the whole time. Anyway, that started my amazing love for snow and now I can smell the stuff 2 weeks ahead of time and nothing beats that feeling when you wake up and there’s this huge amount of snow on the ground that wasn’t there when you went to bed :)

So this morning I woke to find an amazing amount of snow on the ground, but instead of going out and playing all day, I went to work like a total sucker and after spending most of the day seeing pics of kids sledding and making snow mischief on instagram and facebook, I decided ‘fuck this office shit’, and as I was leaving, my buddy, Clay, hit me up about some sledding on Cap hill (perfect timing)

So here’s some pics I’ve taken while playing in the snow. I was getting a little nervous towards the end of that sledding shoot as ice started forming all over my camera, but she held tough like I knew she would.

ps. if you look real close, you’ll see our boys, Aaron and Clay, going down head first on a purple plastic sled :)

Two Against One

Right when I started watching this animation, I saw this had Anthony F Schepperd written all over it’s smelly face. Anthony was not animating alone though; with Chris Milk was also at his side (I wonder how often he has to hear “…how about a tall glass of you”) while working on the video for this track, off the album, Rome, by Danger Moues & Daniele Luppi with Jack White and Norah Jones laying down some smooth vox.

If you caught our post on Anthony Schepperd, then you also probably noticed his tripped out psychideli soup style as quickly at I did.
