Bumpers, Stop-Motion and Daisy Fuentes from 90s MTV

This is the brilliance that made me want to get into video and art, and video mixed with art - as we now call motion graphics.

I'll start with a clip of, what I considered at the age of 13, the best MTV Bumper in the Live Action Category.

 

A classic series of MTV Shorts, including Joe's Apartment at the 5:30 mark. Singing roaches and first dates.

 

Gnarly. So, let's sign off on a positive note with Miss Daisy Fuentes (another best from MTV, but in a 13-year-old-queezy-stomach way), who tells us about an opportunity she has for us to embrace.

Image Collection From Months Past

Below is a post of an image collection of visuals I found interesting and wanted to share. I don't have the source for these, but I hope you enjoy.

Top of the Ranks - Kanye Twitty

As most of the world knows by this point, I made a photo mash-up of Kanye West and Conway Twitty.

Well, I'm very proud to announce "Kanye Twitty" has been at the top of Google Image Search for about a year now. Over the past months I've checked this search from time to time (to maintain the reign) and I'm amazed. I think about the enormous, absurd amount of information on the web and that I am the #1 suggested for a very peculiar, niche obsession with pop versus classic culture.

My grandmother was a huge fan of Conway Twitty. She'd be so proud of me for this achievement...or she would be very disappointed in my ways of visual disfigurement. I think I'll bask in the former.
