A short doc about a kinetic sculpture that took four years to build. We had the honor of spending three days in Chris Burden's studio filming this sculpture before it was moved to the Los Angeles Country Museum of Art (LACMA) where it is being reinstalled.
The installation opens fall 2011.
Chris Burden is one of our favorite artists of all time. For more about him and his work http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Burden

Heart On Promotional Video

Here is a promotional video for the once a month art show Heart On. I wanted to capture the carefree spirit of the event while also filming all the different things that happen. From bands, live painting, djs and a fashion show... there was a lot of running around to do! But it was all worth it.



Heart On is a community Art/Music movement. Everyone is welcome to join the family, we are always looking for artists & musicians for our monthly event held at the Airliner (every1st sunday) email yourhearton@gmail.com to take part in our next show!

Morphing into me!

A video that chronicles my 30 years of life. Watching this video reminds me of how lucky I am. I am grateful for my friends and family. I am baffled by how quick time passes these days....but am completely aware and thankful for the company that I have kept along the way.

I made a similar video like this about 6 years ago. It was time for some additions and new technology to spruce it up. This video was made with Morph Age.

Video from Magic Garage 6 and Dream Explosion

LA Art Shows August 21 2010 from Patrick McPheron on Vimeo.

A video showcasing 2 art shows that I had work in. Bagavagabonds Dream Art Explosion in Culver City. These guys know how to throw a party! A great show where the art sold for $50 bucks or less and went to this charity makesomethingschool.com/news/

The second show of the night was a "Choose your own Adventure" by Magic Garage Productions & the Catalyst Artist Collective LA. Tons of bands and acts plus over 60 artists! An awesome show with outstanding work!

Judging books by their covers...

In light of the possible serial killer lurking around my home town of Joplin, I'd like to take the time to remind everyone of the golden rule of "Don't judge a book by its cover." It's best to open the book but be cautious... because you may find a serial killer inside.

.....AND also take the opportunity to show you this amazing performance that reiterates the above.

Salvadore Dali's Beating Heart Brooch

Salvador Dali did more just paint! He was a photographer, furniture maker and, new to me, a jewelry maker! This is a brooch he made for the Queen of England. The heart is made of rubies, gold and other semi-precious stones. Its mechanical beating pump gives life to this surrealist treasure. AMAZING!

Fake Painting Photographs by Alexa Meade

What you are about to see, are not paintings on canvas! Alexa Meade paints with acrylics directly on human flesh creating the illusion of painterly portraits.

“Alexa Meade is an installation artist based in the Washington, DC area. Her background in the world of political communications has fueled her intellectual interest in the tensions between perception and reality.

Alexa Meade’s innovative use of paint on the three dimensional surfaces of found objects, live models, and architectural spaces has been incorporated into a series of installations that create a perceptual shift in how we experience and interpret spatial relationships.” via Bored Panda

Inspiration....YES THANK YOU!

A few of the many of images found at Fancy That Just looking at all of these images makes me wanna grab my camera and start shooting, photoshopping and illustrating all at once!!!! ouch!
