Reawakening the Grand Narrative by Jeff Gomez

Excellent article on the tribeca film festival website. Pretty much sums up why I do what I do and why I say I’m re-creating an ancient art form.

Really happy to be working with UMD’s very own Dean of Fine Arts, Bill Payne, on his video series Theater and Global Change. These short videos are a supplement to his online course Theater and Global Change on the New York Times Learning Management system Epsilen. Here is a link to his profile at the site.

And the Introduction Video

Would have more appropriate for what is now up on these here interwebs. Someday maybe I’ll actually have time to fix it.

Interesting site I just found. Haven’t spent much time with it but it looks like a promising source of information.

The Grid

I thoroughly enjoyed this tutorial and creating my own complex grid. I did, however, make the mistake of not changing my paper size from A4 to 8.5 x 11 and all of  my measurements were a little off. This is a good introduction to the complex grid but I will be looking for further information about its use as Gerstner himself said, “this grid requires considerable study, and a designer would have to spend a great deal of time working with it before he could make free use of it in a creative sense.”
