During the past four years I have spent up to five hours a week driving to and from school or work. This provides me with plenty of time to listen podcasts, including The Vinyl Café with Stuart McLean. Yesterday I was listening to, and quite enjoying, The Vinyl Café from October 31, 2009. It featured the music of Great Lake Swimmers. During the song There Is A Light there is a magnificent musical build accompanied by the subtle sound of a xylophone or some type of bell. At this exact moment I drove under a flock of birds escaping the inclement central Indiana weather. The image of the birds against the bleak sky combined with the music was enough to give me an overwhelming warm sensation. <br /><br />The image moved me to turn around my car, and record the birds on my point and shoot digital camera that records scratchy digital video. Knowing that the rest of my drive to work was pretty scenic I decided to use the spare time to record a music video for the song. Coincidently I ended up late to work where I finished the bulk of the editing.<br /><br />Often when I listen to The Vinyl Café I’m inspired by the music and stories. As an inspiring filmmaker/writer I always look to Stuart’s stories for a little education on story telling and character development. The Story Exchange, a segment from the show featuring stories from listeners, leaves me wanting to adapt the tales into short film screenplays.<br /><br />-Andrew<br /><br />You can download The Vinyl Café podcast here: cbc.ca/podcasting//index.html?arts#vinylcafe<br /><br />You can check out the music of Great Lake Swimmers here:<br />greatlakeswimmers.com/<br /><br />You can find out more about me here:<br />wix.com/andrewquinn/andrew-quinn/<br /><br /><br />Filmed with FujiFilm FinePix J10<br /><br />Edited/Color Correction in Final Cut Pro<br /><br />Compressed for Vimeo with Final cut studio CompressorAndrew Quinnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17248741021525094956noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3737242763564734990.post-88952884277533016922009-10-03T12:50:00.001-07:002009-10-03T12:50:12.763-07:00Moleskine<div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/andrewquinn/3977106275/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2548/3977106275_95ccd18951_m.jpg" alt="" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/andrewquinn/3977106275/">Moleskine Page 3</a><br />Originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/andrewquinn/">Andrew Megan Quinn</a></span></div>I got a moleskine. The idea is that I'll love and cherish my drawings more if they are in a leather binding, rather than on the back of old sales reports from work. I have to admit that I like it so far. It was so expensive that it motivates me to draw in it. <br /><br />This is practice for one of the characters in Preston's comic. <br />You can see what I draw in the moleskine as I up load them weekly to my flickr. <br /><br />-Andrew<br clear="all" />Andrew Quinnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17248741021525094956noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3737242763564734990.post-47325391776096615362009-09-20T17:56:00.001-07:002009-09-20T17:56:03.674-07:00Miss Piggy<div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/andrewquinn/3939541426/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2584/3939541426_f65180bf2b_m.jpg" alt="" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/andrewquinn/3939541426/">Miss Piggy - New</a><br />Originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/andrewquinn/">Andrew Megan Quinn</a></span></div>This is a sketch for the comic.

You should check it out.<br /><br />http://thetheater.wordpress.comAndrew Quinnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17248741021525094956noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3737242763564734990.post-36447671503411394552009-06-10T09:33:00.001-07:002009-06-10T09:33:37.071-07:00My New Car<div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/andrewquinn/3602126093/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3318/3602126093_d42b9b201b_m.jpg" alt="" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/andrewquinn/3602126093/">1983 Volvo 242</a><br />Originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/andrewquinn/">Andrew Megan Quinn</a></span></div>I got a new car, its a 1983 Volvo 242.

I've been wanting to paint for along time and now, finally, I've started. This is based on a drawing I did on the back of an envelope a few years ago. <br /><br />Check out more detailed pictures at my flickr- http://www.flickr.com/photos/andrewquinn<br clear="all" />Andrew Quinnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17248741021525094956noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3737242763564734990.post-35832785270476115362009-02-05T20:20:00.001-08:002009-02-05T20:20:49.883-08:00a real dad<div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/andrewquinn/3249513612/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3432/3249513612_05ea5b8121_m.jpg" alt="" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/andrewquinn/3249513612/">a real dad</a><br />Originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/andrewquinn/">Andrew Megan Quinn</a></span></div>I've been working on a children's book about a boy who loves to eat waffles.

Today was no different. As I walked into work crossing the man made field of dead grass and the lone leafless tree I noticed how overcast it has been. My mood all day has been weird. I'm on autopilot. For the most part I am always drifting by at work not really paying any attention to what is going on. I decided that today was the day the horrific Christmas decorations had to come down. I spent about the first 30 minutes of my shift tearing down paper snowflakes that were hanging by fishing line from the celling and disassemble the tree. The smell of plastic pine needles reminds me of my childhood. I would seek refuge from robots and monsters in the chubby hole of my parent's basement. The same place where the Christmas Tree admitted that synthetic aroma while it eagerly anticipated December. Every year it comes out of the basement to dazzle us with its flashing lights and shiny glass orbs. It represents something that has been all but forgotten by those celebrating Christmas. For one month it provides us with a reminder of what is coming. Then it must be stripped of it's jewelry, garland, and mini photo frames with pictures of Christmas 1994. This became the tree's routine. Then about two years ago it's life was shattered with a simple toss to the garbage. It was being replaced by newer more slim tree that didn't have that stale plastic smell. Little does this new comer know, in a few years it will become stagnate and thus unable to do the job it was originally commissioned to do. She will be sent to the same tree heaven as her predecessor. So there I was stuffing tangles of green wire and clear glass into boxes that had been vacated when the previous residents burnt out. For the next 10 months, this will be their home. A box. Their only purpose is to shed a little light on Christmas. Years ago they, like the tree, represented something much more profound. But now they only come out of hiding because that is what you are supposed to do at Christmas. Now they must spend a year in the dark.<br />Christmas is over. Until next year.Andrew Quinnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17248741021525094956noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3737242763564734990.post-3507059249722315112008-12-30T17:43:00.001-08:002008-12-30T17:43:02.830-08:00snaggs<div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/andrewquinn/3152439252/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3240/3152439252_0cfd8fee73_m.jpg" alt="" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/andrewquinn/3152439252/">snaggs</a><br />Originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/andrewquinn/">Andrew Paul-Dalton Quinn</a></span></div>A drawing.<br clear="all" />Andrew Quinnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17248741021525094956noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3737242763564734990.post-31555575118001789162008-12-28T20:22:00.001-08:002008-12-28T20:22:33.501-08:00Megan's Bike<div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/andrewquinn/3146381970/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3113/3146381970_04d7e6999d_m.jpg" alt="" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/andrewquinn/3146381970/">Megan's Bike 18</a><br />Originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/andrewquinn/">Andrew Paul-Dalton Quinn</a></span></div>I recently bought and restored this old JcPenny bike for Megan. I knocked on a door where they bike was abandoned in the side yard and offered them ten dollars for it. Then after it Megan got a chance to ride it I took a bunch of pictures of it. <br /><br /><object width="400" height="300"> <param name="flashvars" value="&offsite=true&lang=en-us&page_show_url=%2Fphotos%2Fandrewquinn%2Fsets%2F72157611762263495%2Fshow%2F&page_show_back_url=%2Fphotos%2Fandrewquinn%2Fsets%2F72157611762263495%2F&set_id=72157611762263495&jump_to="></param> <param name="movie" value="http://www.flickr.com/apps/slideshow/show.swf?v=63961"></param> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.flickr.com/apps/slideshow/show.swf?v=63961" allowFullScreen="true" flashvars="&offsite=true&lang=en-us&page_show_url=%2Fphotos%2Fandrewquinn%2Fsets%2F72157611762263495%2Fshow%2F&page_show_back_url=%2Fphotos%2Fandrewquinn%2Fsets%2F72157611762263495%2F&set_id=72157611762263495&jump_to=" width="400" height="300"></embed></object><br clear="all" />Andrew Quinnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17248741021525094956noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3737242763564734990.post-48439172153531585352008-12-26T15:23:00.000-08:002008-12-26T15:24:55.916-08:00Abandon ShipPhoto taken in Dumfries Scotland<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/andrewquinn/3118170689/" title="abandon ship by Andrew Paul-Dalton Quinn, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3243/3118170689_7cb31efc9b.jpg" width="375" height="500" alt="abandon ship" /></a>Andrew Quinnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17248741021525094956noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3737242763564734990.post-83128658102880463752008-12-01T23:09:00.000-08:002008-12-26T15:27:27.784-08:00Pro Choice<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/andrewquinn/3075922828/" title="pro choice by Andrew Paul-Dalton Quinn, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3151/3075922828_9e4be54476.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="pro choice" /></a><br /><br />Please click for full photo.
