I presented a brief intro to sound reactive animation with @touchdesigner.bsky.social software followed by some great musicians at the SPEAC gallery in Shreveport.

I'm expecting them to take away the teacher stipends in retaliation but I'm glad they lost. lailluminator.com/2026/05/16/f...

Voted against giving myself a raise and if you're in Louisiana you should too.

Hat customization experiment. Covered an old white promotional cap in black spray paint then washed it for a cool texture. Also made pins.

Some realtime animation for dj mars

Doing my first gig as a "VJ" tonight. I sort of did it once before but it was my event and I was doing music as well. But this is the first time I been hired just to do visuals for other musicians. Pretty stoked.

Short film my students made starring me. youtu.be/fngpFwOxbQc?...

A student asked if we'd record her playing some songs she wrote that she'd always been too shy to share and proceeded to bring everyone to tears with some of the best country songs I've heard in a long time.

Doodlin with aftereffects

Never seen these but seems like it will make a good double feature

when me and the discord homies get together irl

Character designs for an animated short idea I've been kicking around

Gonna do a Touchdesigner demo/workshop

If you're in Shreveport tonight go to see this fashion show. My wife and her students worked very hard on it.

Audiovisual party in Shreveport Louisiana.

My best friend is in Brighton England. What's something cool she should check out?

Decided to show my students how to make a free website, so I made one for my classroom. n8caddo.github.io

When that rock crab puppet said "it's not enough"

First event went great, hoping to build that momentum further and showcase new artists. If other folks didn't provide opportunities for me when I was a painfully shy teen in making weird music in my room, I don't know if I'd have stayed making art. ParanormalFrequency.org

Did this one on the new Maxon Autograph animation software. Still gotta figure out how to do a lot of basic stuff but seems like great free software

Getting back into curating and organizing local art events.

Made this today trying to get a handle on Maxon's Autograph animation software. Definitely a learning curve but it's the closest thing to after effects I've seen, and it's free. Wishing them luck as try to eat Adobe's lunch.

My coworker/best pal Alan made me a wallet using artwork from FAR

When you're mean to me this is who you're being mean to.

10 out of 10! Amazing! An extraordinary work from an extraordinary talent! (Full disclosure: reviewer and artist are the same person)

Lord of the dome

Global warming? That's just my mixtape🔥🔥🔥🔥

Gonna try for a backyard hangout before it gets unbearably hot

The only celebrity personal life I have interest in is Michael B. Jordan. Because his father is named Michael A. Jordan, I believe it will be a huge missed opportunity if he doesn't have a child and name them Michael C. Jordan.

Eating mudbugs with this dude

I'm really happy with how this is turning out. I started with the idea of trying to mimic a risograph look. I'm controlling the animation in realtime with my midi controller. Calling it the Risorb

Been having fun learning how to use Touchdesigner. This setup is a huge mess because I made it as I was learning. I'm excited to make a clean, organized starter template to build future sets from. youtube.com/shorts/2YT62...

cool pic a pal took of a performance

I keep making my this setup more complicated but I think I'm about at my laptops limits. I think i have enough components to play with for an entire show though. #touchdesigner #animation

Realtime animation behind the scenes

"Gen z teachers are the best. They let us watch YouTube and don't make us do any work." Overheard from a middle schooler

I was watching that show pluribus. It's pretty good. But it had me thinking about being in that situation. World is over, no people are going to consume, enjoy, respond to anything I do or create. But I have access to pretty much anything I want materially. What would I do?

Went from the metal show to the drag show and the drag show was more metal.
