Death Rode A Different Horse

Death rode a different horse. Skeleton horses are cool, and creepy, but after a while you might look for an upgrade. Plus nothing says ‘death’ like riding an explosion.

This video and all the art and music in it are entirely by me- J Matthew Root.

Playing with shaders is a trip

Been learning how to write shader code and its so much fun! Check out shadertoy.com Its a great way to learn shader coding and a fun tool for amazing visuals that render in real time. I did a bunch of renders and decided to combine them in Da Vinci Resolve and WOW! Super trippy fun in 4K! I hope you like!


Just to be clear.

Art is a conversation between the artist and the viewer. It’s as simple as that and nothing more. If there is no artist there is no art. You’re talking about willfully abandoning your own soul. Replacing it with recycled keywords and stolen passion. Corrupted copies of other people’s ideas in a sick, meaningless mashup that will resemble the vomit it will inspire. Soulless.

I have never and will never use AI or anything similar.
I will never collaborate with anyone who uses AI.
I will never work for anyone who uses AI.

This includes everything I do from art, music, animation, programming, visual effects, writing and production at any level.

The Gift

“The Gift” is my first venture into the magical world of watercolors, and more specifically watercolor pens. I’m really getting into it! There most definitely will be more! I hope you all like it!!!


Haunted Cats – FUQIT Cat

Haunted Cats #2 – FUQIT Cat. I wanted a screaming black cat playing guitar but didn’t want a tiny toy guitar cause that would look stoopid. But still I think the mood here matches the song pretty well. Oh and of course the song is also by me. I hope you like!
