Andrew Leipzig
Digital Media
Sayville
Influenced by society’s increasing commercialization (and, as graphic designer, a minister of it) this artist creates surrealist works that are acutely intuitive but do not take themselves too seriously. Commentary on modern life can be interpreted with or without a sense of scorn—a lack of condescension on the artist’s part leaves it to the viewer to decide. planetzig.com

TRIBUTE TO JOHN HEARTFIELD

For those who forget the real groundbreakers of photo montage i'd just like to pay my respects and kudos to the orginator John Heartfield. I see artists like Banksy, Fairey and others taking or getting the credit for being innovators of 'street' political commentary. well here's one of the originators. i always say picasso was right. good artists borrow, great artists steal, though some steal more than others. ... shout out to John Heartfield, bet he wished he had a mac

I AM YOUR FATHER

I was asked "WHAT AND WHY ARE THERE INFLUENCE OF EXTRATERRESTRIALS IN ART AND CULTURE IN MY WORK' ... The only way your going to succeed in art is to pursue avenues that interest you. which is why i'll never be a landscape artist or paint portraits. I'm not looking to 'Create for the masses' i'm looking to create art that moves me. and if it moves me, more than likely it will move others as well. Having grown up without a father and having a mom that worked most of the time television and media became my mentor. good or bad, forbidden planet, outer limits, the gemini/apollo missions, lost in space all became major influences in my life. Adding to that a love for science it became a natural to incorporate that into my work.

Zig Studios Web 2.0

Zig Studios planetzig.com has been online as long as the web has been around, I guess that means i've been freelancing for a really long time. The site has been through several revisions and variations always trying to keep pace with technology. My approach to web development has always been that the web is an information based entity stemming from Government and University circles. When the format Web 2.0 was introduced i was excited about the direction for several reasons. first that it is only possible because pixel aspect ratios have changed drastically 1680 x 1050 and getting higher all the time. More screen area allows larger fonts and cleaner layouts. alot of designers are realizing that they need to scrap full flash based sites because there is no information value, search engines have nothing to read when a site is all flash. it may look cool, but don't do it. Web 2.0 splits the best of both worlds. Now you have area for large flash animations with rich textures and .html based text to improve search criteria. Zig Studios site is always a work in progress. visit: planetzig.com

TomTom: how to reboot a crashed TomTom that displays a red circle/white x

For my birthday i had gotten a GPS navigation system, the TomTom ONE 130. Switched it on and was totally excited about it. Then i figured i'd update the maps since it was showing some restaurants that have been out of business for sometime. I plug it into my mac hit update, it's runs through it's cycle and i eject it much like a harddrive. When i went to turn it on i immediately got a flashing red circle with a white x. found out that it could no longer start or see it's operating system. it was a sunday and with their tech department closed i went about looking how to get the thing going. there were many websites that we're filled with people who had the same tech problems but their way of going about fixing the crash seemed more a rube goldberg approach that a real fix. to reboot a tomtom i suggest hook it up to your computer via usb, make a backup of all the files it came with) then clear the drive with your disk utility. reopen tomtom home and the unit will automacially load it's system application. before you proceed eject the tomtom than see if it boots back up (mine did at this point). You'll see that it has no maps. hook it up once more with the usb and from your back-up files add the US/Canada map folder. this worked for me. you can also add other files one by one to make sure it doesn't crash again.

Invited To Speak at FIT - 'The Business of Art' 10/22

Was just invited to speak again at FIT (Fashion Institute of Technology) on the 'Business of Art' . How to make a living as an artist. when i mentioned that to my good friend Mike Calderone (Airbrush master and owner of cycle-delics) he said 'when you find out let me know'. had a good laugh. last time i spoke the LIRR was running 2 1/2 hours late and i wound up speaking to the last of the class who wanted to hang and listen. Looking forward to sharing a few of my secrets as well as reminding all that it takes a bit of luck, cleaver ideas, good clients and the skillz to pay the billz. See you at FIT

INVASION - New Glicee On Canvas

Artmosphere - Tilles Center Sept 4-7

Just finished performing live at the Tilles Center in Artmosphere. Had an amazing time. couldn't have done it without the help of John Bugenis who took a crash course (pardon the pun) on a media server that we used to combine real time photoshop files on top of select quicktime videos. the performances came off without a hitch and was truly groundbreaking and visually exciting. just glad i learned how to crash our imac prior to the performance while running dual monitors. Made many new friends. kudos to all including The Immersion Dance Company, Patrick Brady, The Band Matt Flood, Chris(mosphere) Benvegna, Charlie Held & Jane Leslie, my new found friend Performance poet and composer Jay Jii,  Special thanks to Gary Miller for working with Apple and getting a great machine and Bob Goida and Debra Kasimakis for making it happen. A totally cool experience drawing live on the big screen. thanks to all for making it a cool experience. looking forward to Artmosphere II (Heaven & Hell)
