The River Ghost

Some friends and I made a creepy little film last month...in 50 hours. We had a grand time. The online vote is still active if you wanted to put in a good word for us....and watch all the other films!

Art House Submissions

As a lot of you probably already know - The Art House Co-Op has been doing some really fun free global art projects recently. If you didn't know - you should go check them out. Just this past week I've done two of them...

The Adventure Project: Can you capture an adventure in 30 seconds?

Last Saturday we had a small breakfast party - which was definitely an adventure (our stove even blew up)...but I also shot a little stop motion that afternoon, featuring not only my delightful friends - but also my docile little chicken, Butternut. Art House will be making a channel on YouTube with everyone's adventures.


For the second project:

The 4x6 exchange: A worldwide community art swap

I made a little drawing with pen, sparkly ink, and watercolor pencils. I'm dropping it in the mail today and can't wait to see what I get back!!! 

Have a lovely weekend!!! ♥

Coffee and...

Some of you may be familiar with the poem 'For Connor' by my friend Mark Anderson...(as I have posted about it and him on several occasions). This time the post comes in the form of a film collaboration I got to participate in.

A video of Mark's poem 'For Connor' was selected to be part of an exhibit at the Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture titled Need|Want...(a collaborative show with Terrain - that I also have a painting in). I got to work with, the most talented - Chris Dreyer and Amy Hunter. We put together this little short film of him for the show. It will be playing through the end of the year at the MAC - (how exciting!).

We shot (starting at 5am) in Mark's favorite Coffee Shop - Atticus, and were lucky enough to find a song by the The Horse Thieves that fit absolutely perfect. Aren't they fantastic?

Let me know what you think!
Also...Here is my piece for the exhibit. It's about my obsession of cheese:

P.S. I started a second mural collaboration with Darcy Drury (painting live) during the opening of this exhibit last Friday. I will have to post photos when it is finished! ♥

new crush!

Doing research for work I stumbled upon Impactist's Vimeo page. Not only do they create delightful music -  they also make lovely, completely inspiring, animated videos (...even sometimes on an iPod). I definitely have a new crush. They are Kelly Meador and Daniel Elwing - a directing duo with backgrounds in film production, design, animation, music, and fine art.
Not only will you find the most amazing album sampler videos - there are also animated shorts, commercial work and some really cool reel montages...you should definitely check them out!...and be inspired!...And then go have a listen.

Did I mention the blog!!! ♥ ♥ ♥

Here are some video stills to temp you...

24 hour stop motion love!

As promised.... ♥ Enjoy!

MONTH: 24 hours with Tiffany Patterson on Vimeo.

Description: In March 2K10 a group of local Spokanite creatives took over the Kolva-Sullivan Gallery (115 S. Adams, Spokane, WA) with continuous 24 hour residencies. It was an art installation/social experiment and a giant party we called 'MONTH'.

This is my day. March 18th 5PM to March 19th 5PM.
