Launching: Daily Design Bits

If you’ve been following me on twitter you are well aware of what I’ve been up to the past few weeks. Today I’m launching another (mini) blog called Daily Design Bits. This blog will feature frequent short posts of all the ‘shiny things I find on and off the interwebs’. Hop on over there and explore (and grab the feed so you don’t miss anything)! You can also submit cool things that you find if you want them to be featured!

Daily Design Bits is powered by Tumblr – which so far has been an AWESOME platform to work with! I’ve got some great content queued up for your viewing pleasure! I’m still tweaking things and setting things up – so if you find something that’s broken shoot me an email and let me know!

Thanks for reading and let me know what you think!

Inspired By Repetititition

This weekend I wandered out to south Boston with Sarah to see Tara Donovan’s show at the ICA. All I can say is that Tara’s art is freaking sweet. She takes everyday objects and goes off the deep end with repetition. Her installations are amazing and they trick the senses.

I Know What I Want To Be For Halloween!!!!

I admit it…halloween is my most favorite holiday of holidays. When else can I consume more alcohol than I should while wearing a silly costume? Last year I was ketchup and sarah was mustard, however I had a severe toothache (which resulted in a root canal…YAY!) So this idea for a costume is very appropriate.

Recycled Art

Korean artist Yong Ho Ji makes sculptures from recycled tires. His work ranges in form from animal, to human, to some combination of both, evoking the ancient Egyptian tradition of creating mythological sculptures that are half-human and half-animal. Ji calls his variations “mutants” to refer to both their hybrid forms and the mutation of media that their creation requires. Sizes vary from an eleven-inch-high dog, to a wild goat with horns that is five-feet-tall to a 10-foot-long Hammerhead shark.

Simply amazing!
