Here is a fun interview I did about stop motion and making stuff in general. Got some shout outs in there and other fun stuff. Take a look and get inside my head a little. http://dillon.markey.usesthis.com/

So ABC Eyewitness news came by Stoopid Buddy to do a little interview with me. It was pretty remarkably awesome. But they don't tell you that talking to a serious news lady can be as scary and intimidating as talking to cops. I got super nervous!
Check out the fun little article and the minute long feature! Rad!

The Atlantic - Front page
Today I woke up with a funny feeling. First I noticed that Playing With Power has now crossed half a million views in just over a week, which is amazing in itself. Then I checked theatlantic.com, scrolled down just a little, and there I saw my Powerglove featured on the front page of their website! Absolutely incredible.

Look up "Fucking Awesome" on urban dictionary.
I always loved the joke "If you look up "gullible" in the dictionary, there's a picture of your face." But now, if you look up "Fucking Awesome" on Urban Dictionary, you will actually find a description that makes all seem right with the world. I am satisfied.

Colossal Write Up
The wonderful art blog, thisiscolossal.com wrote us up! This is easily my favorite thing ever written about me. I love the closing line "It makes you wonder what other outmoded technology had the right form factor but wrong application?" I want to spend the next ten years looking for those outmoded technologies and convincing people to wonder the same thing!
“In a stroke of nostalgic brilliance, he realized Nintendo’s failed 1980 Power Glove—a wearable device that was supposed to offer novel ways of controlling video games—posessed the form factor he needed.”
Playing With Power
This documentary, directed by Ava Benjamin, is the official word on my modified Powerglove. I have used this device to animate for the past 2 years at Stoopid Buddy Stoodios on dozens of sketches for Robot Chicken as well as the entire short, "Citizen M - Swan Song" by PES.
