I bought a green screen specifically to make this market promo video.

Queen West and Roncesvalles neighbourhoods are awesome to just walk around in. Lots of good food and great little shops. Skyline Diner is a personal fav for breakfast. Matty's Patties for lunch. The ROM is amazing, and I love the Hockey Hall of Fame.

Bless you all

We watched The Matrix yesterday, and it seemed to work out for that guy. I say go for it.

Captain Janeway valentine: I'd give up all the replicated coffee in the Delta Quadrant if you'd be my valentine! Chakotay valentine: Here's a sneak peek, valentine. Season 2, episode 9, 31:46

Tuvok valentine: No, I am not possessed by the Komar again - it is simply logical for you to be my valentine Tom Paris valentine: Meet me in the holodeck, valentine. You wanna shoot some pool in France or make out in a '57 Chevy on Mars?

B'Elanna Torres valentine: If the Vidiians split my human and Klingon halves back into two bodies, we'd both want you to be our valentine. Harry Kim valentine: I'm still grappling with replacing a phase-shifted version of myself that got sucked into space, but... be my valentine? I'll play the clarinet for you.

The Doctor valentine: I'll sing La Bohème while I take your vital signs, valentine. Just don't forget to turn me off when you leave. Neelix valentine: I'll cook you the most succulent meal with ingredients from all across the Delta Quadrant, valentine. Just stay away from Tom Paris.

Every year I make a new set of valentines based on my current obsession. I've started watching Star Trek Voyager. This is the result, haha. You can see the rest at joe.gottli.com/valentines

TeleVisions Video Archive VHS Tape TeleVisions is a nine-CRT TV art installation that I created for the In The Soil Arts Festival in 2024, and subsequently displayed at the Niagara Artists Centre from November 2024 through January 2025...

Also, if you want a VHS tape of all the videos I created for this project, I have GREAT NEWS. joe.gottli.com/product/tele...

YouTube video by Joe Gottli TeleVisions: Don't worry, we'll be on the air

Last year I put together a large-scale art installation with a bunch of CRT screens called TeleVisions. I created a ton of media for the screens themselves, and promos for the project. Here's the final promo I put together for the project.

My setup for recording video off of CRT screens. A Sony a5100 connected via HDMI out to my laptop doing video capture.

Capturing CRT screens is serious business.

1960s: Sgt. Pepper - The Beatles
1970s: Wind and Wuthering: Genesis
1980s: Document: R.E.M.
1990s: Factory Showroom: TMBG
2000s: When I Pretend To Fall: The Long Winters (though Sam's Town by The Killers is up there, too!)

Andy - you rule.

At the very least, listen to Ain't That Enough. youtu.be/jdeqYx-9-AQ?...

Hey. Treat yourself. Listen to Songs From Northern Britain by Teenage Fanclub.

This installation was on display briefly this summer, but this is a 3-month install, and it's running 24/7 in the windows of the Niagara Artists Centre. I created the "Channel 13" promo clips for this latest incarnation, and tried to mimic late 80s/early 90s channel promos as best I could.

YouTube video by Joe Gottli Check out TeleVisions at the Niagara Artists Centre!

I also have an art installation - TeleVisions - up until the end of January. Nine TVs that refresh every 60 seconds, and play (fake) commercials, infomercials, test patterns or segments of a larger videos that can span across multiple screens. youtube.com/shorts/5DncN...

The Halloweenies print ad poster hanging on the wall.

A close up of the bottom corner of the Halloweenies poster, showing a pile of cards, unopened packs and sticks of gum.

Related to the Halloweenies, I created a poster for the card line as if it were an old magazine print ad - lots of copy, and glamour shots of the cards and illustrations.

An unopened pack of Halloweenies cards.

An opened pack of Halloweenies cards, showing the checklist, stick of Spooky Fruit gum, and the backs of each card.

Examples of some Halloweenies cards - these are the most common cards.

An example of a holographic Halloweenies Card - Alien Allie.

I created my own Halloween trading cards, heavily inspired by Garbage Pail Kids, called the Halloweenies. There were 14 different designs, and each pack came with a random set of cards, a checklist, and a stick of gum. I even made the rare cards holographic.

I did a multi-layer illustration of the Metaluna Mutant from This Island Earth (and the MST3K movie) for a Halloween monster art show.

I am so bad at making updates on this site, but if you're interested, here's a bunch of stuff I've done in the last little while.

@dollyzoom.bsky.social I don't know if you've heard this song, but I feel like you should. youtu.be/sRY9o8VNoTE?...

I watched a YouTube mini doc thing about how the French film industry works, and I would say they've got that figured out too.

It's on my list of things to try. Mikey and I watched this together, and now he sings gatorwine songs from time to time lol.

A night to remember™

It's pretty bonkers lol.

I was in NYC with my wife for a vacation, and someone drove by with all their windows down blaring My Life, and they honked along to the chorus. It was magic.

Not exactly jazz, but Mad Man Moon by Genesis I think fits in to this idea. At 2:30 for 2 minutes straight it becomes the Tony Banks show and it is incredible.

Cherry blossoms are back a week earlier than last year and that's probably fine, right? Shoes by Keebler.

Hell yeah

On my list of things to ask you was if you liked these jerseys. I now know the answer lol.

Go to hell. (Does that help? More at home now?)

We picked up a huge jug of the Arizona Arnold Palmer in Buffalo and we've been living high on the hog ever since.
