Get to the point
I love Matt W. Moore’s and Anatoly Zenkov’s pointy geometric images. They’re both similar interpretations with very different approaches, and I find them both really absorbing.
MWM’s work is all done with spray paint, and his site has some really nice photos of his process and his Crystal Lasers Exhibition, which is up right now in Paris until March 12th.
On the digital side of things, Zenkov’s Peristant Pyramids are apparently the result of an application he built, and I find them equally great. I tried to mimic them in Photoshop with little success, but I’ll have to give it another whirl.
I must make a point (ha!) of making some pieces that create visual space in unexpected ways. Yes.

Don’t forget to also watch Keith Loutit’s time-lapse video if you like this kind of tilt-shift work!

Tone Matrix!
My sir showed me this great musical gizmo called the Tone Matrix by André Michelle. It’s fun and it sounds lovely too! It’s just the thing to entertain someone stuck at home with a cold… or anyone else for that matter. My one gripe is that it can’t be embedded, but that’s all right. Each square creates a tone; before you know it, you’ll be jammin’.

Pig 05049
Last night I dreamt I was on the subway with a bunch of butchers in white coats, and there was a huge sow on a white towel lying on the subway bench. One of the butchers was talking to it, and the whole thing seemed pretty sweet and nice at the time. Strange.
With that in mind, I’ve been meaning to write about Pig 05049, a book by Christien Meindertsma. Christien spent three years tracking all of the products made from a single pig, #05049. From Christien’s website:
“Amongst some of the more unexpected results were: Ammunition, medicine, photo paper, heart valves, brakes, chewing gum, porcelain, cosmetics, cigarettes, conditioner and even bio diesel… After it’s death, Pig number 05049 was shipped in parts throughout the world. Some products remain close to their original form and function while others diverge dramatically.”
The book is beautifully designed (check out the ear tag on the spine), as well as completely eye-opening.
(Check out this fine article about the book at Design Observer.)

Downtown Yarns
Dear New York Knitters,
I’m sure you’re all aware of this place already, but in case you’re not: Go to Downtown Yarns.
It’s really cute, they have a great selection of yarn, and everyone there is really nice and helpful. They even have an adorable dog that sleeps underneath the table.
They also have knitting classes!
