CALLING ALL VISUAL ARTISTS, SINGERS, RAPPERS, & DJs!

I'm so proud of the beautiful "Little Red Riding Hood Redux" book we created together for our inaugural issue of The hitRECorderly! I really love when the stuff we work on as a community becomes a physical record.

==

VISUAL ARTISTS: Our Summer Collection is gonna be less hitRECord-branded as we shift our focus from who we are to WHAT WE MAKE. We're also gonna focus the apparel styles more toward women.

==

SINGERS, RAPPERS, & DJs: Come make a hook or chorus for the new remix of the hip-hop track "For Mallory" we're producing. This new mix we're gonna make together is gonna be sick so come work with us on it!

==

Thanks Again!

<3

Another shirt for the summer collection!

I've just hit Belgium in my Quest Across Europe to Do Stuff, and it's a little scary.

and by a little, I mean a lot scary. I'm finally facing my own helplessness in travelling alone that wasn't there faffing about in the UK.

this'll probably get a second (cooler) version when I gather myself up in these strange places. O_O

a quick remix of say.today's lovely photo :)

Sabine dropped this awesomeness yesterday - the "sinnamin-bunny-keychain" and I just... I just had to. I HAD TO! HA!

:-) :-) :-)

jestferlaffs also made me feel welcome when I first joined hitRECord.

In fact he welcomes all new comers and is a very supportive and encouraging artist who takes amazing photos!

Thank you Matthew <3

Since days ago I was thinking what could be the best way of showing all these fantastic Bunnies made by sinnamin, and I realized that the best way is through a video, I hope you all enjoy it, I had so much fun doing it! :D

Sin, thanks for doing all these amazing bunnies for all of us! :D

The result of listening to suzyrene's BalletBallet on repeat ;)

(I hope I got the correct resources)

Wow, it's been a looong, long time since I last hitrec'ed ! Nice to be back :)

I heard jcpeterson's "Ballet" and Krr's remix, and instantly fell in love with it. The song was begging to be remixed, so I tried a little something at the end. Maybe it would sound better with the guitar.

It's not phenomenal and kinda sounds like Lana del Rey, but you know. Tell me what you think !

♥

Remixing together, what do ya think?

this is just two examples but the sky's the limit obviously

I will follow you into the sun.

I used rejjie's illustration as the base and drew over it..

I was really bored yesterday so I made this little man.I know, I have many mistakes. So sorry about that.

It hasn't finished - yet. I think it needs a story.

Sorry for mistakes....

I made three versions with the same quote...

Magnectic Photo Frame

:-)

floral prints are still popular for winter 2012. i love this print, and think it would look really cute on a tank.

Just realized that the previous version of the BalletBallet video was squished. I reuploaded it so that it looks better.

RECord for Japan!

my sweet baby girl and her mom... on her very first day on the planet :)

I made this from a photo my father took of me as a child in 1983. I decided to turn a vintage color picture into black and white modern art ;)

Happy Birthday carole!!

Hope you have a great year <3

P.S. We Geminis are the best ;D

taken off the coast of maui on june 2nd 2012. the sky turned honey just as we set him free into the evening waves xoxo

i know this isn't about me.. but i must thank you all for the love. i might be scarce for a bit.. still trying to figure out how to be creative without boring everyone with my dramatic tinies about sadness and death. but.. in the while, please know i love you all. and you guys are awesome. xoxo inky

Inspired by Wirrow's tiny story, and trying to show the town that came to my mind, this is the result of what I did today in my spare time.

I'll keep adding things (if they look good in the composition), but for now I leave you this image so you can use it as background for scary stories too.

I had so much fun doing it!

A reference perhaps? Someone, somewhere mentioned wanting one. Whatever, look at that fucking fuzzy face. He is adorable but is positively the grouchiest creature on the planet which amuses me to no end. 

Yes, my people, yes!

:-) :-) :-)

vectorized and remixed to give some other twists on this great stencily silhou. woops, fixed the typo in the title.

Another tank!

I finally located my original paper cut :D

So Im using HR to get used to my new editing tablet. I came across Brujasur's awesomely dark composition and figured Id mess around with Conely's great shot.

because of Japan disaster and other ...

expandized and vectorized. w/ color. just the expanded graphic, and a black and white version of this, and shirt placement all coming soon!

Training was extremely dull yesterday, so I sat at the back of the class and made this ;)

Here's the link to the original picture: http://t.co/7QvjE7p3

I hope this can be usefull for remixing =)

Always in hot water

This is for bluewaves awesome contribution to the sad collab.

Co-wrote the lyrics of a little "country/rock song" awhile back with some slide guitar arrangement.

Looking to collaborate and complete it if there are any strong rock/country crooners out there in the HitRecord community.

Please forgive the mix ...Oh and yes, that is yours truly "attempting" to sing this thing...

Lyrics by William Gallego & Victor Velez.

Music by: William G.

So you think your life’s hard now.

Boy you’ve got one coming…

It'll be over - before you know it...

Man that’s a rough deal.

There’s this girl over there you see she’s got one coming

And she’s know nothing...but she’s knows there’s this you see

Her days are spent worrying

Man, that’s a rough deal.

It’s a mystery to me how most get through

     But then there’s no one looking out for you

Man, that’s a rough deal

When some ones heart’s beating next to you,

And you still feel left with nothing.     

Man, that’s a rough deal...

  Don’t give me a rough deal 

Won’t take that rough deal

Her heart can’t take it anymore

She wants no sympathy, Then don't look for me  

 I  just wanna help!

When there’s no one looking out for you and the

tears stream down your face

Just remember, you’re not the only one

With a rough deal

I’ve got a rough deal.

He’s got that rough deal.

Don’t want that rough deal

Fuck that rough deal…

Wrote this classical themed piece with the idea that it could make for a visually

stunning arrangement.  Looking for animators, photographers, videographers or

landscape artist to find it a home. 

remix of bluewaves / sojushots contribution to the sad collab. or for tiny stories

I see you fiend for that sunshine i know you love that coast 
disappeared from your hometown now the world thinks you went ghost 
so you moved down to L.a huh the city of those angels
Hoping all your dreams come while watching  all your pain go 
Be careful be playful cause people are hateful 
holly woods the land of dreams aka a scapegoat 
and i can tell by the way your voice shakes that you wanna escape the sadness 
so you're betting your life on a horse race and that horses name is magic 
pull a rabbit outta that hat say goodbye and never look back 
cause you see that ocean as paradise and pair of eyes that gaze back 
you stare at them and they stare at you you ain't scared a them they ain't scared of you 
till they lower their gaze like a parachute fallen you're not prepared to move 

 driving through the Highlands.

This beat is ridiculous. jcpeterson, you're a mad fucking genius.

I added a bass line and some guitar. I also extended it a bit more and played with the ending.

As I said in my last comments about the Sab Collab, I think that this have a lot of potential, we can make animations, illustrations and remixes for all these fantastic contributions, at HR we can find a lot of resources to make illustrations for all these Sad characters, this is the first one of a serie of 10 that I am doing for this collab! :)

The Invisible Family gets framed.

"Yes Darling, we are lost at sea, but let's look on the bright side."

I've been hypnotized by bell's musical interpretation of Marke's Tiny Maps and... I am in need of a map.

who doesn't need a map?

concentric series of growing, color-changing circles. a full spectrum of possibilities.

THANKS!

I've got the bug now.

Why’d you have to leave when things were going so good

I woulda done it different if you’d told me I should

But like you always did you hid it, never said it to forgive it

So how could I have known that my chances were blown?

Now it’s too late it’s degraded everything we had is faded

thought I had you in my hand but it was Malibu sand

And it slipped slipped slipped out of my grip

Now my hearts torn open and I never even heard it rip

Tell me I’m deluded tell me that I blew it

but don’t say baby that you told me so

Because the bruise you see is news to me

If you were hurting well I didn’t know

You might be certain but I’m not so

Don’t go

Wait a second are ya saying I’m the one to blame

For your debilitating inability to feel shame

You’re the one with dreams that you were too afraid to follow

Did blaming me for failure make it easier to swallow

This analysis of your paralysis is lacking depth

Have you forgotten yet that you’re the one who left?

You always were a dreamer always thought the grass was greener

That’s the way it seems when You’re the one who’s green

Tell me I’m deluded tell me that I blew it

but don’t say baby that you told me so

Because the bruise you see is news to me

If you were hurting well I didn’t know

You might be certain but I’m not so

Don’t go

i just did one verse(short 2 bars, but i'm working on it now). may or may not work. let me know. lyrics:

got the summertime blues, so it's high time that i do me.

headin south to california, the land of opportunity

got a glass-house dream, afraid i'm gonna break it.

if you never try, how the fuck you gonna make it?

if you want something bad enough you need to picture it, specific,

like the sun setting majestically over the pacific.

then naturally the universe will draw you toward that object,

and it doesn't matter what you gotta go through, if you want it.

not everybody sees it

you gotta believe it

if you don't have a goal, 

you can never achieve it.

so dive in head first

followin your passion

hopin that it won't produce the opposite reaction

i know what you'll say

it sounds so cliche

i bought my first car,

headin south to L.A.

Since I have successfully renewed my cabin crew license for another year, I decided it was time to get a new bunny.

This is Inflight Director, sinnamin bunny

FYI: my uniform is red, not blue and I do not wear a hat. I just thought I would incorporate hitRECord colours ;)

One of a few themed visual remixes for the Postcard collab.

Fiddling with textures and acrylics.

Ha... this one is actually mine... 

That squiggle at the bottom is my attempt at my signature :).

HR PSD file with layers available here

A small clip fiddling with 3d dynamics. Hope you like it.

Yet another 3d animation, enjoy!

even while drawing it,I was wondering what happened with them...

Oil on canvas 9" x 11"

Hey guys! This is a direction video for the collab I started that was inspired by blbest's text record, "missed connections."

I encourage anyone and everyone to participate in the collab in any way they want, but this video focuses on my vision for the collab. 

I would like for people to create characters for one or more of the missed connections in blbest's text and record themselves saying the text on camera as that character. aimeecanto did a great example a few days ago, which is resourced here. Don't be afraid to do multiple takes or even take on multiple 'missed connections.'

Also, guys (and girls), we NEED YOU! If you can do this, please give it a shot! The missed connections are brief and we don't need any crazy camera angles, just an intimate shot of your face and shoulders maybe. The more participation we get, the more options we'll have and the better the final result!

Thanks so much, everyone, and I look forward to your contributions!

This is a project i did for class on the 7 deadle sins last semester, i have no use for it so i thought it might serve as some tasty stock footage. Remix and enjoy!

You can't expect, cause all these things are changing like the seasons do

But then again, I shoulda known, that things won't change, won't change

When they're just me and you

I don't know why, why we couldn't make this work

When we're both two people, that lived in ways we weren't

I don't know why, I don't know why

Why It wouldn't work

I guess we knew, we only knew everything we weren't

Baby, you're beautiful

But if i know, If I know us

I know, we weren't

Baby, you're beautiful

But baby, I know we weren't

If I know us, Please believe

that I still remember

Everything we weren't

smashed a piece of glass at 1500 frames per second played back at 24 frames per sec Filmed using The Olympus i-speed 3. thank you Olympus for letting me play with your toys :)

Final mix?

I haven't drawn anything in ages and needed to sketch a bit to get back into the drawing process. Whatever i draw, i always end up with stars and/or tree-themes on it, it seems :)

(Put this in the creation myth collab because it feels like it fits the other things i did for that!) 

so I mixed up some results of "hedgehog and potato bear" and redraw it.it's sad,I'm sorry :/

Maybe Cactus and Balloon can be involved in this.Maybe the story is not finished yet.

so thanks sinnamin, LydiaSaskia and Jeff Lo! :)

(sorry for bad english again)

On the set of my new movie "Don Jon's Addiction" with some awesome background actors. :oD

dark, very dark--and yellow!

Thought I would add some colour to Russell :D

I decided my piece titled "blue" wasn't quite blue enough...

I separated the woman with the little plane of the rest of the remix.

It's in PNG, and I obsessively removed the white edges of the cutout, so she is ready to be remixed more times!

In case anyone wants to do their own colouring of the original, here ya go. 

(In need of Tiny Story)

A pretty straight foward song. Needs some vocals though. 

Lyrics:

Its 4 a.m. and I cant breathe

'Cause I lost my soul in Tennessee 

To the most beautiful girl that I've ever seen 

She took my heart and carried it on her sleeve

Love under the southern sky

Can't get you out of my mind

Now it's 5 a.m. and I can't sleep

'Cause I got my mind working overtime

Just thinking of the girl who changed my life

With her, oh so adorable summertime smile

Love under the southern sky

Can't get you out of my mind

6 a.m. and I just leave

Asking around, "has anyone found

The most beautiful girl that I've ever seen"

Turns out, she had been looking for me

At 4 a.m. I couldn't breathe

Cause I lost my soul in Tennessee

To the most beautiful girl that I'd ever seen

She took my heart as we walked all through morning

Love under the southern sky

For some reason it won't let me tag the original 4 a.m. track now...

Oh well, it's on the other two...>.>

so i made a little comment on one of my drawiings - where secrets dream..

and MaggieMudd liked it and used it for a Rec and i was going to use it in another drawing but decided i wanted it to be just text. (i want to do a few more of these)

i would love to see this on a t-shirt or tote or on a badge..i would wear it forevaah <3

i like the idea of us doing some text recs on merch like this, they could be tiny stories, made up sayings or even something we like that someone said in our comments thread as long as they are our original quotes :)

My first Mirtle REmix!

I cheated with the hitRECord bandana ;)
