well, the lens-flare beer drink beardy man pic was removed from his site so it thought i better update this thread as well.
I for one dig his shit.
anyway, that Crane is another Jordan Crane i believe...

Me likee. It maybe could be taken as slightly pretentious if you're in the wrong mood, but who cares? I'm kinda pretentious myself.

anyone with a paulrand as a nic is pretentious.
the first time i failed to discover his portfolio section though, i just saw the flash pieces only.

I don't understand it. 60 seconds of his mother's face, a short story that gets revealed 2 words at a time. I was bored.
It did get me to think. I started to wonder wy the word "immersive" was used to describe it.
And I definitely think "Advancing Automatically" is a bad idea on the web. It's interactive for a reason.

His portfolio on the other hand, is cool.

well, my nic is more psychotically misguided than pretentious, I feel...

It's sort of the nature of being ambiguous with meaning. You have to admit Jordan Crane has some successes on his site. Encourage his successes with your criticisms.

some good stuff there.
i can't handle the faces so large staring out at me, I have to skip to the next bit.

You have to look at the work as you would any fine art.
In my opinion the new flash stuff is a fine art installation on the web.
It's in the same realm as some of McGuiness' work, that is... artists as designers and vice versa.

i WOULD like to know what camera he uses.

Can't say I like it. I think the Flash is poorly executed and the photos lack inspiration. I don't see how his work has any more right to be admired as anyone with a right finger and a digicam.
An average photo beneath a pink square that 'shape tweens' to purple?Can any explain further? This is my honest opinion and I am welcome to changing my mind. Help me belong to the elite club of those who 'get-it'.
Also, I look through his "Information" section and see mentions about being in Flash books and art magazines. Any links to his other works?

a provocation of reaction
