I have this fascination for all things sealed in acrylic/glass/etc bricks.

As much as I like the plastic toys (and it’s quite a bit) I am not really sure how it is possible that they can use Star Wars character design here.  I know for parody and satire purposes it’s alright to reappropriate copyrighted material, but I didn’t how you can make money from it. OR can I? I guess I don’t know enough of the copyright/fair use laws.

Oh they are limited edition products, maybe that’s the trick. Go get it while supply lasts.

TED never ceases to amaze me. I am so glad it decided to open it’s archive to public even though some talks are posted long after it was filmed. I guess they do need to keep the exclusivity to conference goers somehow.  The above video was filmed in 2004 and was just posted on TED.com.

Publix (2008) by Frances Trombly, embroidery on fabric

I stumbleuponed this work and like it quite a bit. I like how much the work is put in to present such a mundane and everyday object.

It’s no secret that I am a fan of Jeremy Hatch (see old posts here and here).  I have been waiting to see his new work and now here’s a little sneak preview of what Jeremy has been working on in Archie Bray Residency. He is showing this piece as part of the 2008 Resident Artist Exhibition.

Cuteness attacks again! Looks like you can have a nice massage with these toys.
