tinysaur t-rex

I found a laser cut pattern today on Epilog Laser of a T-Rex. I shrunk it way down to use with 1/32" ply wood and made this dino. I was inspired by these tinysaurs on etsy.com.

Ball-Nogues Studio

Delicious installations at MOCA by Ball-Nogues Studio.

found object frog

I went on a hike today at Tamarack Nature Reserve just north of the cities. At the trailhead, I found this huge frog sculpture made out of scrap plastic and metal melted and welded together. 

Tara Donovan

Tara Donovan's work is amazing. I love the styrofoam cups, buttons, toothpicks and scotch tape.

light study

I'm working on a space that is inspired by these photos.

Here is my first sketch model.

We live by this steam plant. I've always felt visually and sculpturally intrigued by it. It makes me really happy and playful-like. I just love the colors, and how the boxes overlap and connect. I love the twirly silver whateverit'scalled smoke stack thing. I really love the yellow platform by the blue section. It's got a pre-school sensibility. 

Today I finally photographed it.

anti gravity snow man

Sanguinetti A! and I just returned from Wisconsin where we spotted this snowman near my parents' house. Is this an anti gravity snowman or, was it tanked during the football game like so many other Wisconsinites?

animated gif time!

I unknowingly broke the rules when I made this series of photographs of Brian Knep's piece "Healing #1" at the Milwaukee Art Museum. Ooopsie, but they are too cool not to turn into an animated gif. The installation was incredible to interact with.

Franconia Sculpture Garden

A month or so ago, we went to the Franconia Sculpture Park. This was my favorite piece - a dilapidated structure hanging from ropes. The inside is just a massive web of rope.

Laurie preferred a large metal structure that resembled fecal matter. Is anyone surprised?

The Butter Heads

I saw the Butter Heads for the first time yesterday. I had the good fortune to arrive when one of the dairy princesses was having her portrait sculpted in a 90 pound block of butter.

book autopsy

Brian Dettmer makes incredible book autopsies.

omg to this stiching

I love everything - EVERYTHING - here and here.

I've got a bunny thing, and I've got a messy stitching thing, and I've got a thing for strange stories with gore and oddness, so this is my new favorite thing.

I love it.

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.

Underwater sculpture garden

This under water sculpture garden in Granada, West Indies was started by Jason Taylor. It seems that there are several pieces there.

Can you imagine how creepy it would be to come upon this while scuba diving?

sound sculpture

Matthew Plummer Fernandez has made a chair sculpture based on sound.



Thanks to information aesthetics.

Deer with ball

Here's another found object from the art crawl. Hugo, I asked the photographer (aka Laurie) to snap this just for you.

Eliot's sculpture

I haven't had much brain space for creativity lately, but I spend a lot of time with creative kids. This is Eliot's Wednesday morning sculpture. He's 3.
