Once before I posted one of blublu’s videos because it was so fantastic. This one is the most recent of Blu’s captivating works. I can’t even imagine how long it took to make. It’s amazing, so enjoy!

At the last School of the Art Institute of Chicago NYC alumni event, I was introduced to recent MFA graduate, Brian Maller. He just completed is degree in Painting and setting up a new studio in NYC. His use of color in the two pieces below reminds me of Richard Diebenkorn, one of my favorite painters. You can get in touch and view more of Brian’s work here.

I had the honor of working with Marina this summer when she was visiting New York. She’s a French illustrator who has an eye for exceptional detail. I hope they can get onto some beautiful products like scarfs by Hermès or note cards. If you’re interested in her works, get out her website here.

I dream of Luminodot!

All I want for Christmas is this high tech Lite Brite called the Luminodot. Bandai, a Japanese toy company created a high definition version that will knock your socks off. It has a 3500 peg display, you can generate your own artwork as pdf templates, and even use one of the pre-programed Led animated sequences to light up your creation. You can order one at audiocubes.com, a site that carries many high tech Japanese gadgets.

Their promo video is pretty cool too.

Sweatshoppe is HOT

Sweatshoppe is a New York based multimedia duo that has been creating dynamic live video paintings on building facades throughout the city. Partners, Bruno Levy and Blake Shaw, have developed a new interactive technology that allows them to literally paint video onto any surface. Their work enables them to explore the relationship between video, graffiti art and, architecture. The video below, called “The Landing” is the first of many episodes to follow that showcase their work.

Bruno founded and managed a well known media studio called SQUARESQUARE in 2001 that specialized in live video, design, and motion graphics. More information about Sweatshoppe can be found on their myspace or at brunolevy.com

My dream house

aimee — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 16:41:13 +0000

is right across street! It is actually the live/work space of installation artist, Tara Donovan. After researching about the building, I also began reading about Tara. I found a great interview from 2008 detailing her creative process and path to success as a prominent artist. She uses common every day objects such as paper plates, pencils, styrofoam cups, all in mass quantity, and installs them into spaces creating wonderful works of art.

I was also surprised to learn that the original building was an auto body garage! Tara purchased the garage and hired the Williamsburg, Brooklyn firm, Standard Architects, in 2005 to turn the one story space into a three story building where she could live and work. The most heartwarming detail is that Tara ended up marrying the Architect who was assigned to make model of her new studio two years later! Below are some images of Tara’s work and the coolest building in Williamsburg. Now I’m definitely on the hunt for a local auto body garage.

I just adore the honeycomb gate. Photo Credit: David Tillman
