Barrio Plan Paz - my senior thesis


With the help of my good friend Enrique, I was able to transfer my senior thesis from DVD on to youtube. I worked about six solid months on this project, hoping to give viewers a sense of the beautiful world which I am from, Colombia! My senior project consisted on 40 x 30 3D stills, this video was made just for my enjoyment.

Everything was modeled and colored by me, meaning all the billboards and graffiti. Music by Thievery Corporation.

ps - I had to render it quickly (almost one week of rendering on 5-6 different computers, g5 macs) If I did it any slower it would have taken another week... My mom complains that it is fast, but I had little choice.

I hope you enjoy.

another rendition

I felt like comparing two artist's renditions of the lake which my father loved so much, and I love so much.





First is a painting by painter Jane Grey (Ontario, Canada), second (if you had seen before) the memorial collage piece I did for my father, third the actual photo to give you an idea of the scenery.

First NY gallery showing...holler!

My first gallery showing en la cuidad de Nueva York, at Niagra off Ave A and 7th... not too shabby of a place! Had fun, saw some friends, talked a little bizz.



(last pic, stose in native american costume, rico and some other artist that was there..) See more of my work at www.federicofrum.com

Ricky Powell, good guy to meet


The other day I went to this Fader party and had the pleasure to run into old school hip hop photographer, Ricky Powell. Real cool guy, we shot the sh*t for a minute. He photographed greats like Run DMC, LL, and the was notorious for rolling with the Beastie Boys! and many others..! The vid gives a little idea of who he is! (he is having a show @ Milk (450 west 15th), June 3rd, checkiT!)
