Tomorrow is your last chance to catch this art exhibit at Old City Hall in Redding. Nice HD video work.
Cascade Theatre in oil
Well, digital oil paint. I thought this digital image manipulation turned out interesting. The lovely Cascade Theatre in Redding rendered as something like an oil painting, with just few clicks. That is all.
A very Redding short film
Shopping carts play a unique role in Redding culture. Locals will recognize much of the backdrop. Follow more of former Redding digital artist Jesse Rosten on his YouTube channel and on Twitter @JesseRosten.
This newer, really short one is well worth your view:
Uneasy about Drones
The local paper ran an article today about the government using drone aircraft to aid in local fire fighting.
I’m uneasy about the use of drones over our heads. I can’t be the only one. Our meager uneasiness must be a fraction of the fear felt in places where the primary use of drone aircraft is military. How long until we have drones in our sky overhead, “for our safety.”
The Fist of God, but a button push away. It’s worth considering what that will be like.

Art in Tapas
Local artist Robert Soffian
Robert Soffian has been an acquaintance and inspirational local figure to me for many years. Yet, I was not at all aware of his paintings. I know him through his long body of work bringing edgy theater productions to the Shasta College stage. His eclectic and sometimes controversial performances influenced and expanded the horizons of many students. And they often explored the boundaries of community sensibilities, as all good theater should. In person, he is a striking ball of energy and ideas. Robert Soffian just posted some examples of his artwork at his website at the link. I encourage you to visit the Bio tab there as well. A remarkable life in art. That’s Really Redding.
“For me the unconscious is a rational system which painting objectifies.” Robert Soffian
Artistic dance video shot at Caldwell Park
I get a lot of nice comments about the dance videos I’ve been posting here. Here’s a new one from cinematographer Peyton Peltier, featuring dancers Bradyn Olsen and Joe Friedman.
Deep thoughts indeed. Nice work. You can like this work at the Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/TheRisingFlight

The Water
A little Norwegian time lapse, set to Moonlight Sonata. Perfect before bedtime.

Subway style highway graphic puts Redding on the map.
Click on the Info button to enlarge the map. An ingenious and useful graphic design for visualizing getting around the country.
From Redding, it’s an easy hop on the Green Line to the Red Line, and then a straight shot to either San Francisco or New York. Or stay on the Green Line for either San Diego or Seattle. Nice.
Brilliant design work by Cameron Booth. Thanks for putting Redding on the map.
