Avengers Print Pre-Order Sale!
Hey guys! I’m leaving for my fancy first-ever real convention in less than 48 hours. A few of you had expressed interest in the Avengers print I had done up! They’ll be for sale at the Toronto Comic Arts Festival, but if you can’t make it, you can pre-order one online! These fancy 8.5x11 prints will be signed, and will ship just as soon as I get back (by May 15th at the latest).
Why order a print? Well, traveling is super expensive and I am not a wealthy girl! The easier it is for me to get to conventions like this, the more I can attend and the more of you I can meet in person! Hooray!
Prints are $10, shipping is $2 in Canada, $3 to the US, $4 internationally. Order now!
New York City artist kris scheifele has created a series of sculptures formed from acrylic paint. in working with layers of paint-chips or disintegrated acrylic panels, scheifele has developed an arsenal of artistic techniques to create her experimental actualizations. all of the artist’s pieces investigate the physicality of a medium— removing the surface in which the solution is applied, instead, fashioning forms from the paint itself. scheifele tells designboom of her paint squares, “the technique of building up and cutting away all this layered paint not only embeds the work with a temporal record, but also produces a great deal of debris. in the spirit of ‘using every part of the animal’, the acrylic paint chips are collected in boxes where more time must elapse before they fuse into porous cubes.”
Google’s augmented reality glasses have now been officially outed under the name “Project Glass”.
My initial thoughts are basically the same as what they were when the initial reports started coming out. Given Google’s recent track record, I’m skeptical of their ability to execute here, but I find technology projects like this inspiring. Good for Google to trying something completely new and bold.
Is this something we want and/or need? That’s a dumb question, in my opinion. You do great things by anticipating future needs, not by living in the cage of current thinking.
Obviously, I’m generally negative on Google, but I love the entire concept of Google X — er, Google[x]. It reminds me of the Google we first grew to love.
I hope they can pull this off.
