You guys, things have been rough in Starland.

& I suspect they’ll get worse before they get better.

I’m trying though– harder than I think I’ve ever tried at anything.

Here is a cell phone picture of a laptop screen, editing the Show and Tell video.

The raw footage is something I’m really, really excited about.

I’m hoping to screen it at the show we have at The Lost Church on December 1st, which you should come to.

I could really use the support right now.

Things are going to change soon. I’m not sure how yet, but I know that they will.

Here’s to hoping that it’s for the better.

Stay tuned for more behind the scenes stuff coming up next week!

Destroy All Podcasts — Comic-Con San Diego 2010 from Star St.Germain on Vimeo.

I’ll have another post coming up with a ton of photos and general reflection on the trip, but hopefully this video will satiate you for now.

A few weeks ago, I got asked to do a video interview for LitNImage.

Kimy came over to my house and asked me a lot of interesting questions about all the different things I do & now you get to see what I said about it.

The first video is more about the visual art stuff I’m doing,
and the second is more about the music stuff I’m up to.
There’s a newish song in there too, called Redacted, that you probably haven’t heard yet (unless you were at my show in Portland a couple months ago, or if you know me and I’ve played it for you from the saftey of my living room.)

Anyway, you should go check it out.

My Madonna Inn video:

Also, here’s a bunch of the shots I took.

Thanks to MaryBee, Audrey, Ramon, Larissa, Baby D, Peter, Evan, Grey, Reed, Flip & Marie!
We will go back soon!

Also, hello new readers from Drawn! I hope to see a lot more of you in the coming weeks.

Design That Kills Photoshoot with Agent Lover from Star St.Germain on Vimeo.

I had so much fun hanging with Marie and Kristin & I hope we all get a chance to spend more time together really soon.
Here’s a small sampling of the photos we shot:

Music by Brian Saia.

Marie came to visit me for New Years!
You’ll get to read all about our adventures very soon, but for right now, suffice to say we RAGED for her entire visit. This girl rules so hard. <3<3<3!

P.S.

From wikipedia:

The Folsom Street Fair (FSF) is an annual BDSM and leather subculture street fair held on the last Sunday in September and caps San Francisco’s “Leather Pride Week”. The Folsom Street Fair, sometimes simply referred to as “Folsom”, takes place on Folsom Street between 7th and 12th Streets, in San Francisco’s South of Market district. It was started in 1984 and is California’s third largest spectator event and the world’s largest leather event and showcase for BDSM products and culture. It has grown as a non-profit run and non-profit benefiting organization with all donations at the gates going to charity groups as well as numerous fundraising schemes within the festival including games, beverage booths and even spanking for donations to capitalize on the adult-themed exhibitionism.

The prim queer tea is a modest tea party staged directly in the middle of the fair!
Okay, now here’s the video. (totally safe for work, btw.)

Music is by Reverend Glasseye (rip!).

See my experience in New York in the wonders of High Definition!
Watch such hijinx as:
“how many girls can we fit in a cab full of balloons?“
or how about:
“what happens when you jump on a temperpedic bed?”

See all this and more in this piece of riveting cinema!

[music is by my friend, the ubertalented Luc Wyland. If you’re a musician and you want to see your work in videos like this, drop me a note!]

I could write a huge post about my adventure, but really, the video says it all!
Check it out!

Thanks to Marie, Lola, Gilda, Xenia, and of course Nubby & Gala.

I’m trying out 12seconds.tv. I’m unsure what I think about it yet.

I do, however, have 10 invites!
Who wants one?

Also, if you want to skip my 12 second video, I’m looking for slogan suggestions for this blog.

I’m trying to do more of these so y’all can get a better view into my life.
I talk a lot about things I go to, but nothing can compare to seeing it yourself!

What do you guys think about video posts vs. regular posts?

They certainly take more effort to make them, so I’m curious about what you think!

I’m hoping to share a whole lot more of this kind of thing whenever I can find the time to edit it.

Here’s some footage of my epic holiday weekend on the playa a little while ago.
If you click through to vimeo, you can even watch it in HD.

Music is by my friend, Brian Saia, and you can download the whole album for free right here if you like it. Thanks to Pat for helping me get the motion graphics cranked out.

Also, a side note.…Comic Book Tattoo appears to only be available on Amazon today.…but in stores next wednesday.
I’ll be letting y’all know more info when I have it.
