Beeple : Mike Winkelmann's prolific life

Beeple is Mike Winkelmann.
He is a graphic designer living and working in Neenah, Wisconsin, USA. Beeple is the pseudonym for his personal work that includes short films, live visuals, graphic design, music and drawings. Most of his current work focuses on ways to visual music through video. His work has screened at onedotzero, Siggraph, Optronica, the Ann Arbor Film Festival, the Milwaukee Art Museum, the Chicago Underground Film Festival, and many more. He has also released work on Flying Lotus' Brainfeeder label.

I found this guy a few months ago, but recently checked out his website extensively. He has created a huge amount of artwork in the last few years, and he makes it available for anyone to use commercial or non. He learned Cinema 4D in 2008, and decided to do a project he calls "everyday", where he created one 4D render per day for 2 years straight. Not only that, but most of his projects, he allows anyone to download the complete Cinema 4D file to check out and use and change etc... He is also an amazing sound engineer and musician.

Below are 2 projects that are also available for download. These are great resources. If you like something from a certain project, feel free to use is, Open Source style!

Listen to the amazing Sound Design he did on this Robotic C4D project he did :



I love the simple Camera rotating around the action in this one :
