At the end of those 8 hours I didn't end up with a lot of finished work. In fact I didn't end up with any finished work but the mere act of spending so much time just creating was invigorating. The one thing I did end up with when I finally walked away from the computer was a lot of good ideas for stuff I'll probably never follow up on or finish. There was one piece I was playing with right before I went to bed that is about as close to finished as it is ever going to get.
Toward the end of the night I gave up on trying to work with my random ideas and just started to work with what was in front of me. I decided on doing something different so I hit popular websites like Tumblr and digg and just started to save pictures and .gifs by the hundreds. I then threw them all into a timeline to see what would come out. Really it was just a creative experiment to see what I could make in an hour. At the end of an hour I would stop what I was doing and go to bed. I wouldn't even look at what I created for a few days. I woke up the next day and promptly forgot about my final hour of creativity. Last night I pulled up those work files again and this is what was left after an hour of random searches.

This amalgamation of images and animations were all found in about 15 minutes just by clicking on random things and seeing what I could see. The last 45 minutes were spend placing them in this particular order and getting rid of images I didn't want to use.
I'm not sure I would call this art. In fact now that I'm looking at it again I'm not sure I would necessarily call it creative. I'm simply calling it Amalgamation and I do find it interesting so I'm sharing it with
