I discovered maryjane x on MySpace. I became totally enamored by her stunning beauty and created this web animation in humble homage. Composed of 404 frames, it is deeply textured. A high-speed Internet connection is required and I recommend using Firefox as your browser. Even with a high-speed connection, the animation may initially run at a jagged rate, lasting perhaps a shade over 5 minutes, rather than the intended duration of approximately 1 minute and 55 seconds. What I have learned from posting other computer memory intensive animations is that they often need to play through once before running at their proper rate. I realize this is awkward, but I believe there is a positive side effect. For me as an artist working in a new medium, transparency and process are related. Showcasing the process is part of the art. That initial slower run-through of the animation brings the process of its creation into relief.
