Out of the many ideas that I had for today's post... I stumbled across a website showing this video while looking for lyrics to Eminem's "Like Toy Soilders" or while looking for a suitable picture for the 4D extraction homework. Anyway, it's a stop animation piece created and directed by Russel Wyner.

It's an interesting video, no? I was surprised as it was the first time I had seen stop motion - heh, that's an interesting term, no - in use in something other than movies, and at first I never would have thought of it as possibly being referenced as "art". This, I guess, is a testimony to the free and personal nature of the art world... Anything you can imagine is art, no? BTW, at the beginning of the video, it is winter, while at the end it is summer. Interesting. Taking a perfect rotating 360 of capitol hill must have taken some time, too.
Anyway, I was looking over old e-mails earlier yesterday and found this interesting comment I made; It's raining sunshine outside. Perfect opposites. Of course what I meant is that it was raining while the sun was shining - I remember, I was working on an english course at the time, sitting in the dining room with all my things, writing to a friend. Anyway, this oxymoron strikes me today as one of the poetically cool things that come off the top of my head, and to which others sometimes allude to. Today, I took this comment in the literal sense. I will get back later with some artwork on that theme.
