Sound Design Super Hero

Bonjour,

  So I wanna tell you about Ren Klyce. His work is inspiring.

I am inspired to be a better sound designer when I see his ability to let "problems" lead, not only to creative solutions, but also to new ways of capturing or implementing audio. Here is a short video well worth watching if you can appreciate... well.. check your pulse... ...Feel anything? Great! you will like this video is basically about how Ren Klyce is a Bad-Mutha' when it comes to creative sound design. Also: Where the Wild Things Are!

SoundWorks Collection: The Sound of "Where the Wild Things Are" from Michael Coleman on Vimeo.

There are also a lot more SoundWorks videos that are well worth your time HERE. 

Ok, Great video right?! Hopefully you also were able to check out some of the other videos on Michael Coleman's page. It's really a great resource for us Audiophiles to keep tabs on our competiti... I mean new trends, techniques, and technology.

Hola!

We are going to do one more art post before switching back to something else.

Barnaby Ward has created some inky blacks and colorful creatures for you. Lots of them actually. If you check out any of the links provided I highly suggest you check out the curious comic he has posted online... for free... It's called 'Sixteen Miles to Merricks' and I really love the sketchy art style. It reminds me of Paris *Le sigh* There are also Desktop backgrounds for D/L and plenty of other colorful content for you to browse.

I saw Barnaby Ward's work via Image Comic's: POPGUN Volume 1. POPGUN, if you have not yet seen, is a compilation of various artists short stories and images all compiled into the best coffee table books you have never seen. I love the artwork and I keep a copy at work for clients to peruse. Since it is a compilation of various artists there is usually a little something in there for everyone.

Back to B. Ward though. Barnaby has plenty of content up on the internetz as: Somefield. Here are a few of my current favorites.

   

Here are a few Somefield links you will be sure to enjoy!

Ok, so before you read any further I suggest you go and visit the tumblr of Emi Lenox.

No seriously. Go back and click the link. It's good stuff. 

I'll wait.... 

Seriously....

Back? 

Great! Let's get started. 

So in my outward spiral of comic/artistic influence I ran across a trade called 'Emitown'. It was another adventure at the comic shop in trying to get a lot for a little. For $25 I got a gigantic first volume of someone's diary of whom I'd never heard. (Grammar high-five [._.]/\[._.]). Initially, I saw that it was a girls diary and thought it would be good for my girlfriend but then I saw that there were two volumes of this person's diary and almost felt bad to make her make the commitment. So I bought it myself. You know... to investigate. I couldn't have been less let down. (Is that even a compliment? Because it is meant to be) Ok, I couldn't have been more glad that I taste tested it first. It's supremely entertaining and the way she emotes through her characters and her avatar(s) of herself are refreshingly unique in Emitown. While I will always recommend you pick it up at your local comic shop. Don't be a cheap-butt!
