Vivid Dreams And Fast Painting

 October 5, 2022 -


Hi everybody, it's Mark Rushton...

I made another sped-up painting video called "Vivid Dreams (Fast Ink Painting)" - and it turned out pretty good!

Watch it on YouTube - it's only about 3 minutes.  Give it a Like if you can.

It's also on my other sites:  Facebook, Twitch, BitChute, Odysee, and Rumble.

The music in the video is my 2021 ambient-electronic track "Vivid Dreams".

I really enjoy making these little videos.  They don't take long to create.  I extracted the Vivid Dreams video from a longer video recording I made where I talk while painting in real time.  Most people aren't going to sit through a 30 or 60 minute video of me rambling, so having a short video out there helps with finding new fans/followers/subscribers. 



I've been busy in the studio - trying to figure everything out.

Here's a 30" square painting I rediscovered from storage.  As far as I'm concerned, this is almost ready for the Gallery web site.



Because the weather is still nice for another day or two, I went to the library and then sat outside with my sketchbook and pencils.

Found a good Diebenkorn book.  And in the sketchbook I noticed this painted sketch from the past week that seems to be done:



Thanks for paying attention.  Links are below.

That's all for now....  more next week!

I Got Laid Off

Image
  The above photo of me is from 2013.  It was taken from a webcam at my desk.  I further processed the photo to black & white for that "50's vibe" thing because I had a short haircut, crisp white shirt, thick black glasses, and serious pose. Those days are long gone, and I got word on Tuesday that I was being let go after 21 years.  I was titled as a "Senior Software Test Analyst", which is kind of a hybrid position.   I've always been a software tester in my career since about 1994 when I worked for an investment company and got roped into what they called a "telecommuting pilot" - an early version of "work from home".  My then-employer put a very expensive ISDN line in my house and I did my normal job, but I also had to overcome and test out numerous technical and security issues.  Since 1997, I've mostly worked with programmers, business analysts, requirements analysts, project manager, occasionally the project setup people, pr...

I Like To Make Videos

Image
I like to make videos: In the above video, I went "live" on Wednesday evening, October 19, 2022, thumbed through a couple of art books, showed off some past print collages, and worked on a new small painting. Looking through art books on video is a new thing I've been doing.  I prefer smaller books rather than those gigantic, 50 pound catalog raisonnes that cost hundreds of dollars.  I try to keep it witty and light-hearted, although I do indicate what kind of art I like and what I just don't get or never got. Another kind I make are "sped-up painting" videos, like Sleep of Dreams: These are easy to create using FilmForth, a cheap video editing program on Windows.  I can make these in about 5 minutes, including adding my music.  Rendering takes a few more minutes.  Then I upload and schedule the videos using my Streamyard account.  Eventually they're broadcast on YouTube, Facebook, and Twitch, and afterwards end up automatically on other streaming sites...

Livestreaming Every Day Makes Me More Productive

Image
Lately I've been getting into a good groove of livestreaming in the evenings. If, like me, you have full-time job, family responsibilities, and perhaps have another side business (I'm also a recording artist ), and like to go to the gym occasionally, then there's little time for art except on nights and weekends. You really have to carve out time.  I don't watch or read "the news".  I rarely watch movies, and they're always classics .  I don't watch episodic TV shows.  I do watch a little YouTube (mostly shows about cars , "fails" and dash cam videos, Azerbaijan cooking , and ragdoll cats .) What's motivating for me is hopping on Streamyard and getting live on YouTube, Facebook, and Twitch for a little while.  These videos are later rebroadcast as recordings onto BitChute, Odysee, and Rumble.  As I like to say, "It's good to be everywhere..." I don't care how many people show up.  I'm sure other "content creator...
