Day 2 of sharing my creative projects in quarantine. This is a prototype of a Magick puzzle I’m developing using polarizing filter. The Abracadabra triangle symbol was originally used by Serenus Sammonicus, physician to Roman Emperor Caracalla. He prescribed it to be worn as a magical amulet for malaria suffers in the 2nd century. The puzzle is totally analog. All you need is polarized sunglasses to solve it. The color shifting effect was achieved by rotating a polarizing lens on my iPhone. It adds a whole other dimension to puzzle solving. Made on @glowforge @danshapirosea. More to come. #quarantine #jigsawpuzzles #tapeart #polarizingfilter #glowforge #abracadabra #psychedelic #magickpuzzle #magick #magic

Today I decided to some of my creative projects that I’ve been working over the last couple of years. This is an idea for augmented reality #ar t-shirts I made as a test. The t shirt featured an empty stage and then in AR Paul and the band come out and play on it. I did this animation test with geniuses at The Mill with help of @prlmt Phil Crowe.

Happiest birthday to the tarot high priestess and my queen @melindaleeholm. I love you more every day.

I miss being on tour so much, but I’m glad I get to spend so much time with this magical woman. Never loved her more @melindaleeholm photo by @mjkim_lalala at Roskilde Fest in Denmark.

Link in bio, what a pleasure to be able to put a dj set together celebrating Black American artists making the songs of the Beatles and McCartney their own. It’s beautiful to hear how these artists who influenced the sound, swagger and style of the Beatles reinterpreted those songs through these covers. When we sing, dance and listen to music together we are reminded of how much we all share. I hope you enjoy this set as much as I did making it. It could have easily be...en a 4 hr set, but that just means i’ll have to make some more. This goes out to all my wonderful tour family and the family of fans who we get to play to. @paulmccartney @marshallarts @pabmix @leleroybennett @dawbellstu @aliaali913 @ogabejr @brianrayguitar @rustyanderson1 @mjkim_lalala @nastylittlesteve @colettevanloon @tompryce_ @skerz88 @paul_becher @georfle_baker See more

My dj set from @kcrw last night https://www.kcrw.com//chris-holmes-paul-mccartney-dj-mix-j

Live now on @kcrw

TONIGHT AT 9pm I will be hosting on @kcrw #freefromfridays. For my set, I took remixes and edits I’ve made over last ten years of touring with @paulmccartney of covers of @thebeatles and McCartney songs by Black American Artists. I wanted to tell the story of how music can bring us together, and how these artists, who influenced the sound, swagger and style of The Beatles, then interpreted their songs and made them their own. I hope you can check it out. It was a pleasure... to be able to share these mixes since I can’t post a lot of them up to YouTube because of copyright issues.
