    Live painting internet broadcast for the last 5 hours of my project!

    I will be painting live from my Toronto studio and broadcasting it over the internet for the last five hours of my kickstarter project. This will be an ambitious self portrait that will most likely not be completed for a few days, I plan on allowing my obsessive creativity free flow for this so will most likely continue painting into exhaustion for the next two days. A second broadcast will follow on Sunday evening when I hope to be completed. If you would like to catch that one, keep an eye on my facebook or Twitter page.

    Regardless of whether I have funds to back this project or not I am leaving this week to go on this journey. My scissors, and paint supplies will be my means of funding.

    I will also be broadcasting into my skydiving gallery at Studio Genre. A 3D community of Artists from around the world. Musicians from around the world will stream in their live performances.
    To catch the music AND the art log into Second LIfe(it's free), and use this SLurl:

    http://slurl.com/secondlife/Studio%20Genre/10/223/23

    To catch just the video stream you can copy and paste this address into your quicktime or VLC media player.

    rtsp://quicktime.veeaudiovideo.com/paint.sdp

    Session begins at 1pm EST/10am PST.

    Cheers!
