  • Morph's Outpost 15th anniversary
    In the early 1990s cyberculture, Morph's Outpost on the Digital Frontier was a hip multimedia technical magazine inspired in design (and consciousness) by 60s underground newspapers. This month is the 15th anniversary of the first issue. To celebrate, co-founders Jody Radzik (Art Director), Doug Millison (Editor), and Dave Pola (Ad Developer), have made the magazine's signature comic strip, Morph's Outpost On The Digital Frontier, by Fred "Sundance" Gromadski, available online. Millison has also launched an online Morph's retrospective. Dig that logo treatment by Kai "Power Tools" Krause! Morph's Outpost comic, Morph's Outpost site (Thanks, Jody Radzik!)...

(Robot! Bring me another red Rover martini.) Today, we feature the work of animator, filmmaker, and music video director Bill Barminski, a longtime Boing Boing fave. Above, "Drive in," a soothing ambient work I like to watch before bedtime.Another beloved Barminksi joint is below, S.E.X.Y. R.O.B.O.T.: Pinker Tones music video by Walter Robot. Here's a link to all of the BBtv episodes which have featured Barminski's work. My favorite appears in the second half of this BBtv episode: the "Fuji Apple" animated short from Barminski's production team Walter Robot, with music by Boards of Canada (song: Roygbiv, from "Music has the Right to Children.") I could just watch that over and over again, and I often do....
