The NY Times came out with an article about charming modernist houses miniature size. There are times I would like be able to shrink my stuff to this size.
If you live in New York, I highly recommend going to see the exhibition slash paper under the knife, which is up at MAD until April 2010. Above is some wonderful work by Béatrice Coron and the second one I’m not sure of. The love, care and fragility of these objects will leave you in awe.
Happy New Year folks! My new mantra is “2010=less suck!”

A couple of weeks ago, I attended an ADC-sponsored lecture of Keetra Dixon at the SoHo Apple store. Keetra was visibly nervous but gave a bubbly presentation of her awesome work and showed us stuff she is working on now at the Rockwell Group. I have to say, the Apple store is the WORST place [...]
Flux just posted a video interview with the super duper Karin Fong from Imaginary Forces. In the video you get sneak previews to the upcoming Terminator movie and the Pink Panther remake.
The pics above are from the new Swarovski Crystallized shop that opened up on Broadway in SoHo. Didn’t have a chance to go inside because it started pouring rain. Goes to show that people still like bling and shiny things–even during hard times.
