GIN...

Here is my final assignment for digital photography. It's a picture of my favorite thing to drink, gin, and my favorite brand, Bombay sapphire. The bottle came out really cool and I think the balance and contrast worked well. It has been touched up pretty heavily in LightRoom to make the bottle really look like crystal

Love Triangle...

I noticed today that a very strange love triangle is a brewing among my Star Trek magnets. It seems Kirk and Spock are an item. Unfortunately, bones gets no love. On the other side the two bad dudes finally found love. Good going guys

I Love The Devil...

I made a beat today during commercial breaks. For some reason it reminded me of the devil. It just seemed like if the devil had a theme song it would be a cross between blues and techno

Astronaut Haiku...

I must be really bored today because I almost never post twice in one day. O well. I wrote this haiku instead of doing some real work. I thought up a haiku and then tried to make an illustration

Of grain alcohol

Back When I Was 11...

Before I was calling myself Chemical Robotiks online it was Xerox-Copy. I would say this was circa 1998 when I was 11. I had a free website back then where I basically did what I do today on this blog, post pictures of images I was making on the computer, the only difference is now I get payed for some of them. anyways, here is just one of the many tipped out images from my 11 year old mind. I just remembered this site a few days ago and thought it would be interesting to check it out and see if it was still up

I think I've always loved Picasso

XEROX-COPY website
*A link to my website from when I was 11. The site and the images look like a bad acid trip

ISSUE-zero Cover...

I've talked about ISSUE-zero magazine before but in case you missed that post it's going to be a small magazine out of Toronto focused on art and lifestyle. If all thing go correct it should be available next summer and the website should be up any day now. I have been told it is finished, but I don't think it's up yet. I did the layout work for the first issue, which looks awesome and the cover, which I'm posting. If you live in Toronto pick it up. It has a lot of great artists in it and some awesome stories.

Chemical Robotiks x Loonatik...

My friend Loonatik a.k.a Dwayne is one of the best rappers I have ever heard. He is crazy as hell, and sometimes violent, but he really is a good person at the end of the day. His lyrics on the other hand are pure violence, agony, and abuse but super entertaining. I posted the beat Daley and I were messing around with and thought to myself, hey maybe I should post some of the other beats I have been making in the quest to produce Loonatiks album. Anyways here they are. Although they are still very rough(Daley hasn't cleaned them up yet) some are still pretty cool. My two favorites would have to be the pleasure beat and the nightmare one. When the album is finished ill post the ones with the vocals. ENJOY

Beats Loonatik has picked so far...

Chemical Robotiks x Andrew Daley...

Ok, so here is how it went down last weekend. Myself and Daley made a drum snippet which sounded really cool and had an interesting jungle feel. We each had about an hour and two beers to make whatever we could out of it. We each went about it in different ways but I think both tracks came out really cool. Sometimes you drink and do nothing and other times you drink and mix music. It's all very odd

I love TORONTO...

I went out last night to photograph Toronto for an assignment I was doing. We had to take pictures of how we see Toronto. Since I always go out at night I took mine at night, because thats how I see Toronto. On this Adventure I got hassled by transit cops, asked to leave by security people, and pushed around by the police for taking pictures. I guess taking pictures really bothers people. Here is my favorite shot. Its a regular night on Young St.

Still Life...

This is a project I have been working on for school. It isn't nearly finished but I still wanted to post it. I might post it again when I finish it. It is done in adobe illustrator and looks kinda cool
