Michael McGillis invents magical surprises within nature.
Month: November 2012
Jamie Scott- Fall
Watch this incredible time lapse footage of the the change of seasons by Jamie Scott. He chose 15 locations around Central Park and revisited them 2 days a week for 6 months, taking pains to record his exact camera locations and lens information. The result is a treat for the eyes.
Monsters and Dames- Moriko and the Mighty Akumu
“Moriko and the Mighty Akumu” has been accepted into the 2013 “Monsters and Dames” book. This annual project is an Emerald City Comic Con charity art book that raises money for Seattle Children’s Hospital. A signed print of my entry will also be made available at the ECCC charity art auction. I’m proud to be among the 80 artists chosen from 145 entries for this wonderful showcase. My entry was inspired from an upcoming series of monster characters with a Japanese wood block print flavor. Stayed tuned for more on this project soon.
The Assembly- Toyota Hilux
Chimp with goggles? Amen to that. Check out this clever Toyota Hilux commercial

Blue Genie Art Bazaar
The 2012 Blue Genie Art Bazaar is almost here. I’m proud to be a part of this year’s show, offering a variety of ChetArt items available for this unique shopping experience. This Austin institution of holiday shopping, located in the Marchesa Hall, will be open 10AM-10PM, every day starting November 28th through December 24th.
