I was briefly interview at the Celebration of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity (CURCA): [link]

Daniel Cattell, a senior art major, mixed high-tech with traditional design elements for his pixel art project. A large body puppet creates the optical illusion of appearing digitally inserted into the surrounding area. The low-resolution styled visuals are achieved with paint, but captivate contemporary audiences with a familiarity in digital media.

"It's exciting because they're really impactful," Cattell says. "I wanted to make something that would grab people's attention and make them think, 'That's something I've never seen before.'"

We brought the Samus suit to act in a short for Underbelly's Metroid episode a month or so ago. You can check it out here: [link] Not really a fan of the writing or half of the content, but the lighting was very cool and has me interested in trying out some party lights or black lights for some experimental shots! The writers decided to contrast Samus against Jersey Shore's Snooki partly because she is a good choice for a bad female role model and partly because most NJ residents, where Underbelly and I are both located, have been sick of the association with that type of television programming.

Lastly, the thesis show at Rutger's Stedman Gallery will be up next week, showing Ridley, some photography of him and the previous costumes, some of my animation work, etc. The first two costumes will be at the reception on the 17th, which anyone and everyone is invited to.
