Hugo's novel

Hugo recently finished writing a novel. 50,000+ words, I understand.

Yesterday I received some mail. It contained Hugo's first draft of the novel, in miniature form. The container is 1.5"x 1.5". The words are completely illegible! But it's here, all of it. Unbelievable.

Congratulations, Hugo.

lincoln shirt

I have many moments at work when I am bored.

I have begun to create things out of paper, office supplies, brochures. I make them as gifts for my co-workers.

I am creating quite a quirky reputation for myself.

My co-worker London gave me this book: How to Draw a Radish.

I love it.

Today, I made a shirt out of a 5-dollar bill with instructions from the book.

Peter Callesen has an impressive gallery of paper art. Don't miss the snow and ice pieces.

Jen Stark's paper art

Jen Stark makes amazing paper art.

tessellations

In ninth grade, I had an obsession with tessellations, which was probably the only moment in my educational history I can say I understood anything mathematical. I painted an entire wall in my bedroom with a giant wave tessellation pattern in aqua and royal blue. If only I'd kept a photo...

I found some amazing paper tessellation sculptures today. Here's the link to them all. Here's an image of one!

I would love to learn how to make these.

Solar powered horse and Joanna Newsom

I cannot take my eyes off this motorized, solar-powered paper horse walking in tune to the most amazing Joanna Newsom.

P.S. If you ever find yourself not knowing what to get me for a birthday or holiday, get me some Joanna Newsom. I heart her.

We did it!

cutting the mexican peck

Hugo sent a bizarre Japanese paper animation kit called The Mexican Peck. When we're done, we'll post a video of the results.

paper dimensions

I have boxes of this paper and lots of interest in making art with it. This one feels like it's on the right track.
