Surface + Form : Potter's Council Conference

right now i'm demoing at the potter's council surface + form conference hosted by funke fired arts in cincinnati, ohio. lots of pictures to follow.

here's probably the weirdest cincinnati themed song ever. i happened to turn the tv on at this almost exact precise moment when this video started back in decemeber. drew barrymore? keanu reeves? keanu driving like a maniac in a blizzard? well let's all break out into song!


i'm staying with my good friends Katie Parker & Guy Michael Davis in their totally rad new house - more to follow on them and their awesomeness!


if you really want to know the clip is from the movie Babes in Toyland (1986) and i don't really recommend watching it at all. i showed you the best part already.

yay! the AKAR show is up! their orange dot web design couldn't be more perfect in my mind! hmm....i wonder why? :)
