Some nice projects in the portfolio of Rob Millington.

I love that his feet are in the above shot of his work. I say leave the feet in there. Why bother cropping them out.

Mars-1 has a new limited giclee print, titled ‘The Nature of Time’ available in his shop. I have heard some people say that the liked it better when he was producing more of his ‘robot’ or character works but I think his new psychedelic landscape work is absolutely amazing. All of the imagery inspires imagination and it is really beautiful and original work. I am continually amazed by what he is capable producing straight from his imagination. Do yourself a favor and purchase one of his prints. Its a worthy investment for a work from such a talented artist and their if you can afford it, there is no better way to support both an artist you love and the proliferation of art.

So I was working on this psychedelic triptych, just for the hell of it, and finally finished it last night. I threw it in my personal section because I wasn’t really sure where else to file it. I hope you dig it. I think for my next round of posters I may print these up. If anything, just because I want to hang them in my own home to freak people out a little bit. Most people aren’t accosted by introspective art every day and I like to put some in my home especially in private places like bedrooms or bathrooms to force people into that zone where they have to confront themselves a little bit and think. We may take that for granted because so many of us spend so much time plugged into the current of digital art and culture but most people have yet to enter that space. So, it is easy to take them off guard and I love to see how they react to work like this.

I want to do a few things this next go round with my posters that are a little less direct and more open to interpretation. I hope you dig it. If not, that is fine too. Its art you know. You can’t please everyone. These were digitally-collaged using found imagery.

They are loosely based on the concept of identity, memory and the infinite nature of the space-time continuum.

2009 is going to be a good year. I can feel it. Expect a lot of new work and a better website (if I can find the money to upgrade it). I am going to bust my ass this year like there is no tomorrow. And there may not be a tomorrow with 2012 around the corner. You never know.

FFFFound’s own Sean Rees has updated his site with some beautiful new work. He is beatin’ the street for some freelance right now as well and I can’t think of a better person for a design project. He is top shelf, guaranteed.

Not really much of a site but a really fantastic click-through of some stellar layered posters at Smile Maker. They inspired me and made me want to get cracking on some new imagery. Good work. It made me smile (on the inside anyway).

Clean, simple and beautiful work at BVD. I love the type above. Please someone sponsor a trip to Copenhagen for me already. I would cut off my right arm to go. My grandmother is from there and I have family there whom I have never visited. I ache every time I read the name Copenhagen. Oh well.

I have been working hard lately on several new poster ideas. I have put some of the results up in the work section of the site. I have a new Obama poster that I want to get ready for the inauguration. The poster measures in at 18×24 inches and is 4 screens. I actually want it screen printed this time and I am looking for a good screen printer (preferably one here in Denver, Colorado). If you know of one please drop me a line. I am also working on another series of smaller A3 posters as well. Two of those you can see in the Print Section of the site. One of which is a revised version of an older poster I did a few months back. I am working on 2-3 more of those as well and then I will be doing another run of A3 posters. Probably sometime within the next month. The other posters are just a personal experiment I have been working on lately collaging found imagery together to create psychedelic landscapes. You can see two of those in the Personal Section. More of those to come as I get to them. I probably won’t print those but who knows.

Also, I am still seeking artistic representation (an art rep) to help me find new projects. I am also still planning on rebuilding the site sometime in early 09 and I will be looking for relevant sponsors and advertising. If you would like to take a look at the traffic numbers and are considering advertising please send an email to hire(at)changethethought.com.

Basically between Changethethought and my 9-5 job as Art Director at Cactus, I am busting it pretty hard right now. I love what I do though and that is why I do it. I will also be working on a new television commercial right after Christmas and we just released our new series of commercials for the Own Your C campaign also. Lifelongfriendshipsociety did an amazing job on the spots and I will be getting them up on the site, along with a full right up on the new direction we chose for the OYC campaign this year in the very near future. You can actually see the spots at Motionographer right now.

Thank you for all of the emails and support. Full steam ahead.
