Bluring the Boundaries

The work of sculpture students at The Cooper Union is so advanced, it requires instruction in order for us lesser beings to comprehend. Viva l'avant-garde!

Will Paint for Food

The Cooper Union Student Art Sale and Silent Auction is going on this weekend, December 16-18.

Stop by and get your hands on some fine works of art created by some of the best (and hungriest) art students in the nation. (Part of the proceeds also go to the School of Art so it may continue to nourish these young artists' souls—if not their stomachs.)

Sparks Fly

Congratulations are in order to my roomie, Randy Gibson, and his collaborator Johari Mayfield, whose piece Room was selected for the 2006 Spark Festival in Minessota. This honor was in no doubt attributed to the submission packet I designed for them (snippet above), but I do think credit should be given to the work as well, which is rather good.

Chip Kidd: Book One

Come by The Cooper Union tomorrow (Thursday, November 17) from 6 to 8pm for the opening reception of the Lubalin Center's new exhibit: Chip Kidd: Book One — Twenty Years of Books, Sketches, Ideas, etc. I've had a look through it already, and it's quite the impressive body of work.

Tomorrow's opening is sure to be jam packed with the creamy froth of NYC's design elite, I'll be there too. Or come for the free wine.

Gay Rollerblade Luv

All He Needs is a homage/parody of Mike Mills’ All I Need video for Air. The video directed by Nicolas Randall from the directing collective Family is full of sweet gay lovin' and rad blading action. What else does a man need? I mean really.

Dig Out Your Bling and Come on Down

Tonight is the opening reception for Pity the Dolls!, an exhibition featuring the most amazing collection of over 150 vintage Mr. T Dolls, all handmade from the original 1984 pattern, all lovingly collected and brought to you by Greg Rivera. My friend Mike Essl is also part of the insanity, so come down and join us for some good ol' beer drinkin', bling wearin', doll makin' fun.

Donchaknow? Fourth is the new First

I came in fourth place in this year's Computer Love poster competition. I won this for doing this. No really, i'm exctatic. Yes. I am. Don't mistake my complete lack of energy for apathy. Inside I'm dancing the macarena.

The Definition of "New isn't always Better"

You might be better of reading an educated history of the pyramid and other such nutrition-related design excursions over at Speak Up, because all I'm willing to do is throw up over the wretchedness that is the new pyramid logo. Come-fucking-on!!! It's hideous. AND AND AND, someone got paid $2.5 millions for it. The nausea is strong.
