Thunder Hag in Thunderland: Orlando’s Newest Puppet-Rock Band?

This reminds me of an old joke…

A smurf, a dragon-lady, and a witch doctor walk in to a bar. The robot bartender asks…

Thunder Hag

Curious about the lineup of this band, I dug a bit and discovered a link to Hannah, Brian Feldman’s wife, who he married for artistic and political reasons last week.

Jessica Earley: Elementary Music Video


Jessica Earley is a fairly recent Orlando transplant. I first saw her work during a Puppet Slam at the Orlando Puppet Festival.

Jessica then went on to perform several pieces with a Mr. Brian Feldman, of wide renown in Orlando for his outdoor, public, time-based performance art. I also saw Jessica’s piece titled “I want your sympathy” at the Orlando Museum of Art’s First Thursdays, and I participated in her outdoor gallery event , “Blunder Bungle”, held at the aptly named “Museum of my Neighbor’s Backyard”.

Jessica also caught my attention when she signed up for twitter for exactly one day. Then, the 10,000th day she was alive, she paraded from her home to local hangout Stardust Video & Coffee in a parade of one, which was 10,000 steps long.

This video seems to be starring Jessica, though I don’t know who shot and edited the piece. The YouTube page for the piece says it’s a music video for a Chicago-based artist named Maigin Blank.

I’ve been reading the Graphics Technology program’s blog from Valencia Community College for as long as it’s existed, I think. The best part is: it’s an interesting read! There are always students winning awards, getting jobs and the like, and now there are videos, too!

I’ve uploaded six new projects from my Interactive Design 1 course to share with you all. Last semester I began assigning a new typographic animation project which has had some great results. You’ll just have to check out the videos for yourself. Enjoy!

A BIG thanks goes out to Digital Media Professor, Rob McCaffrey, who was instrumental in spearheading our new youtube account. Keep an eye out for new videos by visiting Valencia’s digital media/graphics youtube account directly.

I know I’m going to continue keeping an eye on this blog for more videos. It looks like these were captured with a screencasting software instead of exported from Flash. There are also several more examples of animated type on the blog post where I found this video, so go check them out.
