It's like what I would see when I closed my eyes after dropping acid. I mean, um, it's like what I would have imagined seeing......I mean.....Drugs are bad. Trust me, I would know....nevermind.

Cheers for that! Enjoyed finding patterns then losing them. I also had the advantage of being freaked out before viewing...

hrm, downloaded the SCR... I remember when you could actualy trust that software you downloaded wasn't going to report everything you did back to some evil data harvesting site.
Any idea if these screen savers have spyware or the like?

i wouldn't worry about spyware here. presstube is james patterson's personal site, no real corporate / marketing affiliations. just pretty much fine art.

The animated version of Bolero. This was on The Movie Channel when I was a kid, and I was frightened.

Hmm, looked like a bad rip-off of Yellow Submarine to me.

It's like if you taught Flash animation to that stoner girl who sketched obsessively on her Trapper-Keeper during study hall.

Actually, I thought it was pretty groovy - chaining movie loops in Flash can create very interesting effects.

inksyndicate: oh. yes. For those who haven't seen it, the Allegro non troppo section is a wonderful animation. To Bolero, the liquid in a discarded Cola bottle slowly evolves into a great cavalcade of alien animals, preying on each other, developing in complexity, as they march on through time. The original post reminded me more of Cool World, the point where the plug was taken out to release a stream of morphing 30s-style nightmare cartoons.

He also animated Buck 65's track Pope and did the artwork for the Square CD as well as Buck's recent reissues on Warner.

Actually, dhartung, this is the live-action "Bolero", done by Bo Derek and her svengaliesque husband John at a later point in her inevitable decline to triviality. By then, Bo was freaking nearly everybody out...
As for the original post:

He also did an interactive flash "video" for Bjork's Pagan Poetry. Which rules.

It's okay. One animation overlaid on itself several times.

I really like James Patterson's work, mostly because it's so totally different from the majority of the flash animation that most people put up.
He get's BGP's from me for originality and adventurousness alone, plus it looks great!
youre a bad yellow submarine ripoff, wanker.
Yay! Satapher, your comment made
A - No sense at all

And no, I'm not being sarcastic

The animation is just someone trying to tame their unruly dreadlocks with hand-carved, one-of-a-kind, wooden hair picks. The yellow stuff is Afro Sheen. It's so obvious.
