Needs For Sale
January 16th, 2010I dream of Luminodot!
December 22nd, 2009All 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.

My dream house
December 18th, 2009is 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
