Roland AX-7

November 1st, 2008

As many of my friends know, I want to make a keytar.  I am very inspired by music right now and would love to have a keytar.  The problem is, the AX-7 is going for $1,500 on eBay.  That is why I have to make one.  Here is a little sample of what I could do if I had this amazing piece of equipment.  If you could donate one, I would be very grateful.  Just comment back or contact me via the contact page and I would love to get in touch with you.

The are many commands you can use on your Mac.  A few examples are ⌘O or open, ⌘W or close window and ⌘Q or quit.  There are many more but these are just a few of the most common commands.  

An artist by the name of Christopher David Ryan has taken these commands to a new level.  Chris is a graphic artist based out of Brooklyn, New York.  He has a single-man design studio called Atmostheory.  He also has a personal site that can be found here.  

Chris takes the commands of an Mac and uses them in his work.  ⌘W and ⌘O respectively mean close and open and can be viewed in the first picture.  The second picture uses ⌘C and ⌘N which mean copy and new.

⌘W and ⌘O⌘C ⌘N

He has taken basic commands and created inspirational art from them.  It is amazing what some artists can do.  There is one more print beside these two pictured here.  You can find them all at My Little Underground.

It is amazing what you can do with an ⌘O mind.

I was surfing Vimeo the other day and found this really inspiring clip of an older man.  Watch it.  I know you will be inspired to live your life better and to stay healthy.
