Art in America Review

Sunday, June 26th, 2011

I was mentioned in a review about The Proposition’s group exhibition “Spring Round-Up”.  The article by Leigh Anne Miller says, “Imaginative figurative paintings by Megan Burns and Balint Zsako harmonize with Ben Bunch’s colorful constructions on pedestals that resemble electrical engineering contraptions.”

Here’s the link to the article

Garage Kits

Saturday, August 28th, 2010

About a year ago I discovered what hobby nerds have been drooling over for years. Customized action figures called “Garage Kits”. The name comes from a type of homemade production that evolved from hobbyists making their own versions of toys out of garage studios. They are found in Japan and mostly made by a handful of individuals and designers. The idea behind a garage kit is to create a toy that embodies what the fans never got from the original. What really blew me away was the ingenuity of the creators. Using resin casting they create limited editions of their toys all from their home. There is an annual gathering of the these toy makers called Wonderfest. Ebay and proxy buyers (people in Japan that can purchase them for you) are the only way you can buy them.

These are couple of my favorite garage kit designers:

Down on the Farm

Saturday, August 28th, 2010

rice paddy art

Rice farmers in Japan have managed to engineer giant detailed murals grown from varying colors of rice plants. It’s a story about how a village lacking a tourist attraction invented a process of growing pictures in rice fields.  The farmer who discovered the process figured out how to seed different colors of plants to create the images.  The image above, of a samurai battling and warrior monk, was created by workers planting varying colored rice plants according to a computer generated map. Computer planning has been recently introduced to help the accuracy and prevent distortions.
