Jeremy Bailey

These videos are charming as hell.



The artist's presence is really apparent here [as he is in all of his own videos]. It's kind of hard to gauge the level of seriousness in each video. I'm pretty into that though.

I've heard before that it takes "a special kind of nerd" to make good art, and Bailey's a great example of this. His Video Paint programs are pretty neato, and there's a third version explanatory video. I'm always a proponent of artists making their own tools, which if you really think about it has been an important skill throughout all of art history. I think Video Paint is most exciting because I want to see if I can get my hands on a copy of it.. heh heh. :]


I feel that it's endlessly troublesome to try to repost videos though, so I'd recommend watching your fill on jeremybailey.net.
