ive always loved naivecrimson's work, so this image on a tank dress would rock!

Circa 2000. Still relevant.

Thanks so much to thelostgirlofneverland for creating a beautiful illustration to go with my tiny story :)

From tori's "your calming presence" - I like this line a lot. This didn't turn out exactly how I planned/expected, and really ended up being a lot more playing on the sewing machine than anything else. THEN my scanner was broken, so I went around looking for creative ways to photograph it instead. I'll upload the scan later, maybe.

and in the morning

they shook their pillows

violently, hoping

all the dreams they lost

that night would tumble out.

Utilizes same drums I made for Night Owl Rap.

words at 1:15 -

"I've been working out

and its sooooo radical babe

I know this might not be where

you're fit to stay"

This is that poem "Daddy's Boy" I released as a song. Edited the shittier parts I hope. 

a single page for the hitRECord manifesto based on the THINKrecord written by videotroph.

Overlay is 720p, .mov file

I wanted to play around with the shapes and patterns I could make with kaleidoscopes and the hitrecord logo.

It's been really long you guys so HI! 

Something simple for thedustdancestoo's tiny story! 

Quite possibly the stupidest thing ever.

There's going outside the box and then there's bigfootflyingfishcowboys

as per matt's request. because of the way the text was incorporated into the image, I made two slightly altered textless versions which extend or combine other graphic elements from the B design to re-balance the image.

you know i never used to drink
but these days it's my only link
to understanding what it is
to cope with loss to feel regret and
my how time has really flown
just yesterday i had someone
these days i have the extra space
in my bed there's a guitar case
that's sleeping where you used to be
oh you know i never used to drink this way

did i just hear a noise at my door?
i go to check but nobody's there

today i found a photograph
of me when i was ten and laughing
oh it's funny how a life can change
from wondering why the sky is grey
into abandoning precaution giving
time away like something
you can get for free
like happiness has just one key
but things aren't always what they seem
cause every failure's once a dream
and mine it still has never changed
i wish to write a song that never fades

did i just hear a noise at my door?
i go to check but nobody's there

i just realized it's new year's eve well
that's my way of keeping track of time
cause fate has never failed it
seems i always spend this night alone and
wonder where you are and who you plan
on kissing when this year expires leaving in it's wake a trail of memories you can't escape the past i hear, it's just a burden that we'll have to bear

hold a second
someone's at my door
i open up the locks and twist
the doorknob
all to find the girl
whom i am writing this song for
my mouth opens to speak
with tears upon my cheeks, my body says
''hello emma, i'm happy to see you again.''

MadisenMusic's "Weep for the King" has been going around and around in spirals in my head since I heard it a few days ago. So catchy & so unnerving all rolled into one. I love it. I wanted to make a suitable creepy video to accompany it... Something that matched the song's rhythms and touched on the themes. So I had a bit of fun experimenting. (i.e. This video doesn't take itself too seriously.)

There's so much great footage of children on hitRECord - I love all the old 8mm films that are on the site, so I wanted to utilise as much as I could. I think there's only one small snippet of public domain footage - the rest is from hitRECorders. We're building up such a fantastic archive of material on this site!

true story.

"Your kisses are snowflakes:
each one is unique.
They land on me,
before they melt away,
and leave me cold".

I made this illustration for the lovely Tiny Story: Snowflakes made by blunderandfrightening.

Here is the instrumental of version 2 for vocalist to use as a backing track when recording their part. 

just an idea i was inspired to play with. i might still work on it a bit, we'll see....

i am what i look like to you

but i don't know what you see through

you are what you look like to me

but i'm not sure through what i see

going by the show of shows

my eyes do not seem to be those

to trust to be whose just and knows

how anybody's story goes

so it seems its up to me

to decide through what i see

as it seems it's up to you

to decide what you see through

so if you like i will agree

to be the he through whom you see

as long as i can count on you

to be the who that i see through

you are what i love to see

and i look pretty good to you

and everything looks good to me

when we are what i'm seeing through

I really loved pprescott's tiny story and was inspired by the tiny films both she and azarkowski put together. I sort of combined them here/added a few more things, did some editing, etc. I'd love to hear your thoughts!

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. 

Sarah Frances' "The Oceans are Restless Here Tonight" on a tanktop :)

Took a nap on an airplane.

Woke up and drew this.

I love dreaming while flying.

cuz i like to be prepared.

(i'm having fun imagining all the different scenarios in which this would be a fitting statement.)

Illustration for the Tiny Story:

"This has all happened before, again."

I think it is a really interesting tiny story, that has this sort of chameleon-esque quality to it. It really can take any shape or form, in terms of what it is about and what the feeling of it is. At the same time is constrained by 'This' happening again so it makes this constant sort of loopy state.

I think waves both on the level af interpretation posibilities and in their organic, repetitive form can embody the spirit of this story. 

I'm not at all sure about placement of the text.. I think that could do with some remixing :)

Nowherevillians Arise, voxless. Sing it, remix it, cut it, splice it, love it, lick it, Jedi-knight it, use it as the background to something, or do absolutely nothing with it! Whatever it is that'd be flippin' yer pancakes! x

i absolutely adore May's song and i always imagine a tiny  retro club with a small stage and a girl singing this song. so i made a tiny animation based on this idea and amazing drawings by jenyffer.maria.

UPD thanks for the cool advice, Matt! i realy want to develop this into something beautiful cause the song is so inspiring and the charactes are drawn so well. in my view, the first issue is the story, i mean, the mood and the atmosphere are great but we need to decide what we can show with their help. i'm not good at writing screenplace, so if anyone has any idea that may help i'll be extremely grateful =)

 Thanks for the resources everyone.

"As the starfish tickle our toes, our love grows and gives way to the sea" - Tiny Story by bellaarts, illustration by mirtle

this is more of an idea than a finished product, i really wanted to see how this would sound played on a guitar for a more beachy sound, but i'm no guitarist. also, please forgive my terrible pitchy whistling skills and replace it with something better. i'd also love to see how this might sound with a guy singing along to go better with mirtle's adorable illustration. i also would love to see mirtle's illustration animated with their heads bobbing along and whistling to this little tiny tune, maybe with some dancing starfish or something, ha.

Stems for remixing can be found in the results!

105 bpm

Shot a time lapse of the sunset and mirrored it. Thought it looked neat, esp. with the plane looking like a shooting star. Have a gander, REmix it, or whatever you please. Enjoy :)

**thanks to my other half for helping me **

he's actually not on the site, I'll just get up and go tell him....

Once there was a beautiful girl that a boy loved with all his heart

Being worlds apart she knew it would fail from the start

But no matter how impossible the odds may be

The boy shouted out, "I'll be able to reach you one day just wait and see!"

Acrylic. Working with textures.

Thought this could be quite remixable. 66 BPM.  

My sceptre is a sharpened tongue

My battle plan is 'play dumb'

My allegiance is to the god of one

No nation claims me

no flag or gun

In the trenches defenseless you’re grasping at mud

Shake it off

Take it off

Clawing down castles of sand, you’re no good

Shake it off

Take it off

My human kindness is a serpent’s kiss

My lesson is this

No man is a monster, no man a god

Smile and nod

Smile and nod
