Announcing S.O.S.A.D. Photo Contest

Strangely Orange Snack Appreciation Day is almost here. Feel like entering a contest for a box of stuff prizes (both Bent Objects books, plus many other absurd items)? The contest is open to anyone...

A New Award For Someone!

The stick comes from a tree in our backyard and is finished with authentic faux gold leaf. I once invented a holiday, so why not an award? For a critic? An organization? Your Neighbor? Go ahead and...

The Posture of Pisa

Ginger

On the Road.

Last year I made a book (but it's not a book, it's just a story), somewhat awkwardly, about the life of a young peanut. The above image is from that book (story), which still just exists in my...

My local public tv station made a segment about Bent Objects

The producer and segment host, Aric Hartvig also enjoys brain sandwiches (love the credits). Remember to support your local public radio and television stations!

One Show Only

... and then she was gone. I made this one for the European Network RTL who dropped in today to talk and watch me make it. I'll let you know more about when it will air when I hear. I also hope to...

Late for Breakfast

I made this one for a tv segment for the local PBS station to show how I go about making these. It airs locally (Indy) next week, and may air on your local station sometime in the future.

New website. whoopee!

I'm shocked that I've been able to get this thing to work, but here it is, my new website- TerryBorder.com Plenty of work still to do, but I'm happy so far. Lots of images on there which are much...

Squeezing Out the Competition

Roger Ebert 1942-2013

Like a lot of people, I first became aware of Roger Ebert through his movie review show on public television with the late Gene Siskel in the 1980's. Much later, I became a follower of his reviews...

Quick Wire/Cork Tutorial

People have asked me over the years for a tutorial on how I do my thing for the Bent Objects project. Here it is. This is a very simple character, but it is the basis, more or less, for every...

Where Pasta Shells Come From

Shell, macaroni, stelline. ---------------------------------------------------- Writer Ralph Jones wrote this about my Bent Objects project for a competition but the judges were obviously drunk,...

What Butter Dishes Remind Me of.

Now maybe you will be the same? I bought this butter dish at least 4 years ago with this idea in mind but never really had a clear vision for it. This weekend I decided to just make it happen.

It's What He Does.

My apologies to non-english speakers. This may not translate. ----------------------------- This one is for you Dale.

Nice.

This silly GIF has been in my mind for years and I finally got around to making it. I worked in a bakery as a baker for several years and I've looked at more of these than I can count.

Big Blue Chevy '72 video

This is the video I made for Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band. Hope you enjoy it!

Heartworms

Would be a good album cover, er... cd cover, er... never mind.

Poor Phil

Phil will be standing on a pedestal at Clowes Memorial Hall for the month. He'll be kept company by around 20 Bent Objects Prints and several actual little pieces on other pedestals. Details here.

Sandwich Cookies

What keeps us together? and yes, I'm still alive.

Merry Christmas

Prizes Prizes Prizes

Write a limerick and win a prize! The theme must be New Year's Resolutions. No extra points for mentioning me or this blog. In fact, that is very likely to lose points for you. Limericks can be...

A photo from a few years back while I work on a new one.

It just happens to be in the Bent Objects 2013 calendar- HERE.

Surfers Are Braver Than I Am.

(My lighting here reminds me of Annie Leibovitz of the 1980's.) While I'm on the subject, a shark came within 10 feet of us as we swam in the Gulf of Mexico this summer, and I might have lost a few...

Mirror Mirror

I'm not always trying to be funny here. I was asked to make an image to pair with a poem for a poetry magazine, and this was one of my ideas. I decided to go with something else, but I think it's...

Finished the latest animated short.

Part 1 of my new, super-scary, sci-fi film!!

Been busy learning, but here's something-

Something I made today- A GIF about a goofy guy.

PressPausePlay (the entire film about today's creative culture)

PressPausePlay from House of Radon on Vimeo. This film is about the present state of music, art, books, film making, etc. Well, it blew my mind a little. I've been thinking of this same stuff- the...

Exhibition

Big enough file for a background.
