Live #GlitchArt/datamosh visuals I created for "The Great Destroyer" on @nineinchnails' 2014 tour. This was the ultimate evolution of a visual design for this song we started on the 2007 tour and iterated over several tours through the following years.
The 2008 version of "The Great Destroyer" is where we first started inserting frames of the Blue Screen of Death into the glitching visuals, leading to a widely shared "NINE INCH FAILS" meme. Image

"Autonomy." A new piece created with @Steph_Sheridan_ about the struggle to retain a sense of self amidst forces internal and external that seem seem determined to take it away. A deeply personal work that we felt might resonate beyond our own experience. A thread: 1/ Image
This is our honest, conflicted portrait of pregnancy: Not as a glossy rose-colored magical special gift that greeting cards & influencers lie about, but as a difficult, messy, complicated body horror filled as much with joy & wonder & love as it is pain & fear & uncertainty. 2/
As we stand now at 40 weeks into this journey, we are having the best time & can't wait for the next chapter. But Steph had a horrendous 1st trimester that kept her bed-ridden for 3 months, sick and sad and at times deeply uncertain about the process she had given herself to. 3/

So last night random people start tagging me that they saw our cat Jean-Luc on a TikTok video. I'm not sure what's funnier, JL secretly out there in the streets hamming it up for a catfluencer TikTok with a million followers, or that fans RECOGNIZED him like a true cat celeb.
AND it turns out Momo's neighborhood cat friends Lizzy and Benson are actually cat celebs who make regular appearances on these videos?? What is happening
Here's the TikTok: vm.tiktok.com/ZTdpK1YvY/?k=1 - we gotta get Momo involved in this now.

I'm very excited about our new jigsaw puzzles, so here's a thread highlighting some of my favorite puzzles I've designed, some for your enjoyment and also some for your masochistic suffering. 1/
Glitch art jigsaw puzzles! These are unique abstract challenges for pro puzzlers in a few different styles: analog VHS/CRT glitches, Betamax glitches, and digital data corruption. 2/
Our puzzles currently go up to 500 pieces, but I know some of you want a bigger challenge, so I've created a special double puzzle of analog VHS/CRT glitch noise. Two 500 piece puzzles that fit together for a 32" x 20" challenge. Get both, mix up the pieces, and... good luck! 3/

Continuing my look back at NIN's #YearZero for its 15th anniversary with one of my favorite music photo shoots I've ever done, 2007 promotional photos of Trent Reznor for the album. 🧵 1/ ImageImageImageImage
We wanted an aesthetic that felt like it put TR into the dystopian world and vibe of Year Zero, so I used a long “paparazz” lens and shot him from a distance, to give a paranoid feeling of being surveilled. 2/ ImageImageImageImage
For this shoot we just took an afternoon off from rehearsals and drove around an empty industrial part of London, just Trent and a stylist and me, no lighting or crew or anything, and stopped to take shots at any interesting backdrops we spotted, using only natural light. 3/ ImageImageImageImage

Goth stroller: ASSEMBLED.
“You said you were going to help me with baby stuff today”

“What do you think I’m doing?? We only have eight months to plan the Halloween stroller design!”
I’ve been dreading the ugly plastic convoluted clutter of accessories that seem to fill your world when you have a baby, but credit to @Steph_Sheridan_ for seeking out cool stuff that doesn’t look too suburban (but is still functional & reasonably priced) 🖤

Teaser trailer for my second @nineinchnails concert film, BESIDE YOU IN TIME, released 15 years ago #OnThisDay in 2007. An early entry in the new frontier of HD home video, it was the first live music feature released simultaneously on DVD, Blu-ray, and the ill-fated HD-DVD. 1/
My cover art for NIN's BESIDE YOU IN TIME concert film, released 15 years ago today. This marked the end of NIN's "With Teeth" era and the visual style I created for it; by the time this release hit we had already begun the #YearZero campaign. 2/ Image
For the DVD version we could use a sleek cardboard package, but for the new Blu-ray & HD-DVD formats we had to use the standard ugly plastic clamshells. I was so bothered by how the blu-ray blue clashed with our red cover, I proposed a blue alt cover for it (label said no). 3/ ImageImage
