A Burning Designer: I KNOW you like it...
http://markastrella.blogspot.com/2011/07/i-know-you-like-it.html
July 13, 2011. I KNOW you like it. A little over a year ago I had an idea for a custom bass guitar in the shape of a shovel. I created a couple of images in Photoshop and posted them on this blog here. I called it the Gravedigger and followed this image with another of some guy playing it. Of course, I didn't actually build it but I'm hoping somebody actually gives it a shot. Currently, the two images I posted are #2 and #3. Not bad! Shows you're interested. Now will somebody please make it! TO READ THE ...

A Burning Designer: Who gives a Flying Flink?
http://markastrella.blogspot.com/2011/06/who-gives-flying-flink.html
June 16, 2011. Who gives a Flying Flink? She claimed it was a unique opportunity to globally promote the work of artists by submitting graphic icons to be used as status updates by Flinkers. As a graphic designer who was a part of the brainstorming sessions from which the No Spec site. Was born, which warns designers of the pitfalls of crowd sourcing and art “competitions”, I immediately saw red flags. To their credit, have learned this the hard way. She has contacted many design bloggers with her offer,...

A Burning Designer: Cool Objects
http://markastrella.blogspot.com/2011/09/cool-objects.html
September 08, 2011. Here’s some of the objects that I’ve been living with, because I just think they’re cool. I saw this vase in a shop and had to have it. It’s a basic ceramic flower vase shape, but it’s got this metal covering over it. It's both feminine and masculine at the same time. See how perfectly the metal had been contoured over the vase. There are imperfections, and they give it that hand made look that I like. A poised leopard stands guard over my television. I believe I am well protected!

A Burning Designer: Lighting "Kulanihako’i: Living Waters" -Part 2
http://markastrella.blogspot.com/2011/10/lighting-kulanihakoi-living-waters-part.html
October 02, 2011. Lighting "Kulanihako’i: Living Waters" -Part 2. The premier of the show is October 15th and I received the shipment of new lighting gadgets that I’ll be using to create all the nature scenery for this “hula drama” just last week. To add a sun, I used a dual pattern rotator pointed at the cyclorama. When the motor is turned on, the two metal sun gobos rotate slowly in opposite directions. I’m going to use the stage RIGHT. The most notable effect I’ve concocted is the waterfall....My wate...

A Burning Designer: Art Photos
http://markastrella.blogspot.com/2011/08/heres-few-random-art-photographs-ive.html
August 22, 2011. Here's a few random art photographs I've taken over the years. I love to shoot but I am completely clueless when it comes to settings on my camera. My general method is to blindly fumble through various settings until it looks decent. I did lighting for the Dalai Lama some years ago and had a limited opportunity to snap some close-ups as he walked by. All I got was blurry waves of orange. So I photo-sewed some of them together in this image. Lastly, I'll end with a lovely fish pond image...

A Burning Designer: Astrella's art on a new CD
http://markastrella.blogspot.com/2011/12/astrellas-art-on-new-cd.html
December 11, 2011. Astrella's art on a new CD. The second CD by the New England band, Deep 6, titled "2 DEEP" has finally been released and features my artwork on the front and back covers. I created the logo image on the front over a year ago which has a gravestone and a creepy-looking character I call "Red Skulleton" holding Jimmy D'Angelo's Jackson guitar and wrote about it here. I also had vinyl stickers made of RED for Dave Balcom's kick drums. Guess it was meant to be. Hear the music of Deep 6 here.
