Hokkaido No. 5

Double posting today, as in both here and on Loom, because I'm pleased with how this came out:

I used a neat little hack to make youtube stream in a slightly better quality, I hope it worked.

Also, I guess this is another opportunity to shout out for Loom, which is the... what do you call it? Artblog? Create-o-sphere? that I post on every week, along with people called Ben, Paul, Renee and Juan. Music, videos, drawings, whatever - I create something and upload it every Thursday, so have a look.

God knows what's gotten into me recently, but I started contributing to a creative-collective blog a couple of weeks ago. We were inspired by this post by Warren Ellis, that observes astutely that there are quite enough link blogs, aggregators and indexes out there, it's about time people started creating their own interesting things. There are five of us in total, so we can keep it rolling and updating every weekday, and we've been going for two weeks now so there's a good amount of stuff there already. The curtain was officially raised today, or possibly yesterday, depending on what time zone you're operating in:

I'll be contributing every Thursday and so far I posted a couple of songs that you can listen to and download. Our remit is completely unspecified, but this week is acting like a kind of introduction, so you can see who is creating this stuff. My more-than-able co-conspirators have been posting paintings, photos, comics, carpentry, prose and much more. It's pretty exciting really.
