What was Day For Night?
Well, things do change over time, and it appears that each year, I had the impetus to sit down and try to define Day For Night in a new way that got me excited, and would trigger an opportunity to share something unique. Here’s one of the more pointless, and pompous attempts: What is Day […]
What else is Day For Night?
Day For Night has evolved primarily by means of accretion of music-based projects, articulated via an ongoing artistic monologue, and interpreted through audiovisual design; As inspiration enters this process, ideas are formed and recorded early in any media for an immediate response; This tension created by this intuitive-intellectual response informs the Day For Night catalogue, […]
I am never bored.
Personal expression sells. I derive my client work from pre-existing personal work. Ideas are neither good nor bad, but are merely awaiting to be positioned, and to find their ideal home. Personal tastes have always been a starting point for any work worth creating; therefore I have (essentially) close personal relationships with my clients and […]

Foreword.
This is the first page. The objective of a blog with this title, “Obsessions,” is to share some of the reasoning that flows through the creative studio environment, and which influences much of our everyday lives. There must be power in the written word. That is not an ambitious plea; it is an imperative. Otherwise, […]

EricScott.name. Custom Sitework
Eric: “Intended originally as a reference site with artist’s monograph, I stopped updating this site in the late ’90s as I began to use Day For Night.com more formally to share an increasing number of writings and works. Therefore it’s now a legacy site work which for me is kept special by the bizarre opening […]
