This is my sketch of a steampunk samurai. Daimyo Dynamo? Ok, maybe not. Now on to the painting!

Crane wars!

Got challenged to a tiny crane war by a friend on Facebook. I’m going to call it a draw at this point; however, if she can fold a crane from smaller than a 1/4″ square piece of paper then I’ll accept defeat gracefully. Below are some pictures of the tiny tiny cranes.

One of the smallest origami cranes I’ve ever made.

One of the things I love to do is fold incredibly small cranes. The smallest I’ve ever done was created from a piece of paper 1/4″ square. The final crane looked uncomfortably close to a spitball. This one is from a piece of paper just a hair over 3/8″ square. It photographs better and looks crisper than the smaller one. It also has the added feature that I can fold it with my fingers and not a magnifying glass and toothpicks.

Back in New York!

Glad my move from SF to NYC is largely finished. UPS made my boxes look like some demented origami art; however, most things seem to have come through unscathed. I still wish that I could’ve driven across the country with my wife. That would’ve been nice.

All that remains is to fill in all the normal blanks. Place to live, job, car and so forth. That’s right! I said car. At least at the moment it will be a necessity. I’m also excited at the prospect of getting a bike. SF is a terrible place to bike, being full of monster hills, NYC seems mild in comparison. That is if you don’t count the monster traffic/aggressive driving. Not that SF doesn’t have its share of that too.

I’m looking forward to many new and engaging relationships with clients and interesting projects!

Resume 2.2

I just finished yet another version of my graphic resume. In the new version I elaborate on my software skills and gave an updated look to the pie chart .

Resume 2.1

Michael Moss — Thu, 30 Dec 2010 17:08:20 +0000

Just finished the improved and updated version of my graphic resume. Now when I see a new job opening I can pounce on it. This new version has rewritten and in many cases expanded job descriptions and the addition of a several month long assignment I had for a commercial real estate firm. So far this is the most clearly I’ve ever communicated what I’ve been doing and what I want to do in the future. Hopefully it will have the impact that the first version did.

Project Spotlight: Cthulhu Animation!

If you hadn’t seen this, myself and some friends of mine just completed an animation starring the mighty and terrible Cthulhu in his version of the Old Spice ad. Many thanks to Jace, Jack, Linda, Sam and the elder god himself! You can view it here and don’t forget to purchase a great looking Sanity Roll tshirt as well!

Gallery Chicklets Updated!

Michael Moss — Sat, 11 Sep 2010 06:26:24 +0000

I just got finished updating the galleries with new larger preview images. Now I love to look at the pages of my portfolio and have rid myself of the shame of preview images that are too small.

I’ve also culled some of the weaker pieces from the galleries and added a slew of previously unseen work. Specifically in the Technical and Illustration galleries. Enjoy!

Totoro Wins Mario Kart!

This is my entry for the BoingBoing.net back to school un-CGI contest. Good luck to everyone who has entered! In this image Totoro, with the Minions from Despicable Me on his chest, is winning a race in Mario Kart. How great would it be to unlock Totoro in that game

This image was made with watercolor on illustration board. I have to do more stuff like this. I really enjoyed it!
