Ecuador is Over Here

Written by Michael Clinard. No comments.

Hi all,

It’s been a busy month for me: the website look is finally being hashed out and collateral material printing for the Office of Michael Clinard, General Photography is gearing up.

Outside of the recent happenings, I found some time to steal away and edit through the 1600 or so photos from the recent trip to Ecuador. I’ve gone ahead and put them up on Picasa here.

When you arrive, I encourage you to click the slideshow option to see them larger; from there, you can pause it to click through at your own pace or turn off the captions if you’d prefer.

Above is an image shot inside the monument La Virgin del Panecillo which overlooks Quito–Ecuador’s capital. It’s a large monument of the Virgin Mary constructed of large steel plates, each one welded and screwed together as seen above.

When I finally stopped to appreciate it’s inner construction, I found myself standing in front of plate 79. Specifically important to me given that it was the year of my birth: 1979.

More soon,

Mike

The Cyber Office of Michael Clinard is just around the corner now.

That’s right. We’re moving the furniture around over at The Office of Michael Clinard website.

For the next few weeks, the website will be offline. In the meantime, I’ll do my best to update the blog with images from the Ecuador sojourn along with a host of exciting new projects I’ve been undertaking.

If you need to get ahold of me, don’t hesitate to do so.

More always,

Mike

MC Virus and Promo Sneak Peak

Written by Michael Clinard. No comments.

I’m slowly adjusting to life back in the states after getting back last weekend from Ecuador.

Above and below are a couple of the many notes I wrote to myself as reminders on the days leading up to our Exodus from the Emerald City.

The more I think about the ‘Dor, I always find myself humming Palace Brothers’ ‘West Palm Beach’ track. Oh, sigh. . .

Anyhow, while looking through the images from the sojourn, I remembered I’d shot this interesting chap named Dan who goes under the moniker of MC Virus here in Seattle.

A super nice guy, his beats are unlike anything I’ve heard before. He played me a few tracks from an upcoming album he’s releasing on the label called Rarefied Heir. Go check him out!

In other news, I had a few of the upcoming promo pieces accepted onto Heather Morton’s Art Buyer Blog. Check it out here (scroll down to #4).

North American again

Written by Michael Clinard. No comments.

I’m back from Ecuador after almost two weeks in that gorgeous country. It is so incredibly rich: cities, mountains, jungle and a beautiful coast!

Over the next few weeks, I’ll be posting pictures, stories and reflections to ye’ olde blog. For now, I present a couple pieces of art from my 100% adorable, 6 year old cousin, Paola.

paola_art1_web

Literally everything she did was cute, and I found myself just smiling every time she was around. Paola made these for us on the night of our departure, and they read something equivalent to Mike + Jenna = Paola.

So now you want to see her, right? Alright, I just can’t resist. . . here she is enjoying Parque Historico seven feet off the ground with Jenna.
