New Skells Video Is Ready To View

Happy Video Wednesday everyone!

Today I wanted to make a quick post to alert you, dear reader, of some new content here at Poofff. As always, LindaLee has produced yet another delightful Skells video called Symphony In A Minor Skell. The imagery videoand colors used in this video are really something to see. This set of images are a bit different than in the past and oh so fun to see. Per usual the musical accompaniment is provided by Skell-E-Tunes. This time the music , like the imagery, adopted fresh tone. The new the composition has a bit more of a symphonic feel, at least at first, the moves into more familiar territory. I’m really excited by how this piece came together and I can say it is my new favorite in the Skells series. I think you’ll enjoy it as much as do so head over and take a look, your eyes and ears will be glad that you did.

The Model of Creativity

If you have visited Poofff before no doubt you have seen mention of our primary creative contributor, LindaLee. She is the person responsible for all visual aspects of the Skells universe and much more. If you’re not yet familiar with the Skells, take a look at some of the video slideshows she has put together (with musical accompaniment by 69-1skell-w-2headsIMG_2639_1024Skell-E-Tunes).

Meanwhile, I wanted to provide some in-depth background to let you get to know LindaLee. I thought I would take some time and give you a bit of the artist’s bio, if you will.

Early Life:

LindaLee was born in Hong Kong to Chinese parents which, at the time, actually made her a British citizen. Then at the age of 4 she and her family fled a hostile China to immigrate to the United States. Being the granddaughter of a Chinese general that fought against the communists did not promise a life of comfort. After becoming a naturalized citizen, she would spend most of her formative years in St Louis, Missouri. After high school graduation she continued working at her family restaurant where she had worked since she was 11. (more…)

The Things We Have In Store

The what:

To begin, thanks for stopping by, we’ve got some interesting news for you. If you’re one of the folks that’s visited our site in the past, you may recall mention of a store. Today it seems everyone and their cat has a website. Further proof is the fact that we have a site of our own here at Poofff. Seemingly, the next natural step in the evolution of any site is to open your own eCommerce storefront. Count us in.

In fact, we’ve been working for some time to put together ideas of what to offer the public by way of, for sale merchandise. There has been a constant buzz around Poofff about how we might pull this together. The punk rock side of us wants to just make art and fun things for everyone to share. While the stodgy capitalist side keeps grousing about the need to eat and pay for things. All things considered, we decided to compromise by beginning a business venture.

The Words Appear, The Skells You Hear

Since their conception our lovable Skells have been meant to tell a story. As things have progressed, LindaLee has focused in on defining a consistent esthetic for the Skells. Now that she has created a visually consistent universe the time for “Phase 2” is almost upon us. Working at a feverish pace she has created upwards of 2,000 images so far. When words appear you will find it is the Skells that have something to say.

What is this Phase 2 of which you speak?
