Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
I am a huge fan of Twitter.  Not only is it a great way to connect with a vast array of interesting people but it also serves as a powerful source of inspiration for me.  It’s limiting structure of 140 characters per tweet and unique informational symbology have combined to create [...]

This is what I worked on in between trick-or-treat knocks at our door.  I do not want to think about how long this pumpkin carving project took me but…. I am pleasantly surprised with how it turned out.  A new rendition of Andy Warhol’s ‘Self Portrait (Fright Wig)’, 1986 (on the left) executed in back [...]

Earlier this year I was included in the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s ‘Modern Views‘ exhibition to benefit the restoration of Mies van der Rohe’s Farnsworth House and Philip Johnson’s Glass House.  My submission can be seen here(pg. 26).  This week the organizers of an affiliated project called Glass House Conversations asked me to host [...]

The National Trust For Historic Preservation is launching a major exhibition this evening at the iconic Four Seasons Restaurant in New York to raise money for the restoration and repair of Philip Johnson’s Glass House and Mies van der Rohe’s Farnsworth House.  The exhibition, entitled ‘Modern Views: A Project to Benefit Farnsworth House and the Glass House’ [...]

This coming weekend is the beginning of New York Design Week and the International Contemporary Furntiure Fair.  In addition to ICFF there will be many design exhibitions, installations, gallery openings, showroom luncheons (what a terrible word), parties, etc. all over the city.  Since I never like to miss out on the fun I will be [...]

The 2010 installment of The Armory Show has come and gone.  Hundreds of galleries from around the world all packed tightly together for a few days on the piers jutting out over the Hudson.  A fitting location as it felt like a sort-of sardine cannery for art.  I walked the entirety of the show on Saturday [...]

I just watched Federico Fellini’s ‘La Dolce Vita’ for the first time.  At the end I was left a little confused.  Why is this movie so revered?  It seemed at first a series of tenuously related vignettes centered around a handsome but vapid guy, Marcello, and his fickle obsession with all things female finding temporary [...]

I was listening this weekend to ‘On The Media’, one of my favorite radio shows, and heard this piece about artist Caleb Larsen and a recent sculpture of his entitled ‘A Tool To Deceive And Slaughter (2009)’.  The sculpture is an 8 inch black acrylic cube.  The cube is for sale on ebay.  Actually, it is [...]

I just last weekend went with some friends to the Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum.  I hadn’t been there in several years so when I received their invitation I figured it was high time I went for another run-through.  In retrospect… my time would have been better spent doing something else.  With the friends of course.
I [...]

My creativity was weened on years of Star Wars obsession.  How can you be a kid in the 80’s and not love Chewbacca??  I also think Hello Kitty could be the cutest thing on the planet.  I couldn’t resist exploring this convergence of science fiction and cuteness.
