The Secret Life of Dogs

Our buddy and air-brush maestro Jason Faulkner has been teasing us with little bits of awesome digital art weirdness recently (awesome weirdness being his specialty) and now he's got something ready for remote web viewing called Scientific Feelings that we think you should check out. I could say it involves a floating dog with a series of shape-shifting neon human faces, but Jason himself should probably do the explaining:

"The animation is about my perception that dogs are psychic. I used the entire 24 paintings from my Science Hill series to illustrate the strange smear of voices that they hear at any given time. This notion isn't something new to me, I've speculated about it since I was a kid. The German Shepherd in my project is Taco, the first pet dog my family kept. I wanted to honor him for initiating me into the wide world of psychic canine activity. My family has owned a lot of dogs over the years. By the time I was in high school, the count of actual pets was 17... to include all the litters, etc., the count was around 45. If you would have driven by my house in the late eighties, besides the rumble of the dirt road under the tires, you would have heard our hillside of beagles bellowing before you even saw them."
