Emancipator

My favorite music from the weekend: Emancipator

Artist: Gregorio de Masi

LIB invited artists to paint live throughout the weekend. I loved Gregorio de Masi's work and ideas.

Perspectives of Poverty

Duncan McNicholl over at Water Wellness is doing a really interesting project about "spin" and portrayals of African poverty.

Jessica's "Daily Affirmation"

We should all be able to say a list like this with equal enthusiasm & sincerity, yes?

ArcAttack!

Visualize a man in a metal mesh suit playing with electricity from giant Tesla coils which are used as musical instruments. That's ArcAttack!

Tiny Sparks Design - prints on wood

Another artist I really liked at MakerFaire: Bradley Boggie of Tiny Sparks Design. He's screenprinting onto finely sanded wood - beautiful pieces with a slightly raised texture.

WoodBuddy

Completely fell for the delightful and impressive dry-needle-felted WoolBuddy creations of Jackie Huang. No stitching!

Just wonderful.

Stuart Breidenstein

Saw Stuart Breidenstein's work for the first time this weekend. Love it.

Caution: Jazz Hands

Can someone make this sign for me for real please?

CRUDE's legal battle has hugely wide-reaching implications for investigative journalism and documentary filmmaking. Read the article on Kickstarter.

Silent Beats by Jon M Chu

Love this short by Jon M Chu.
Great visual storytelling.

Flash Mob birthday

Now this is an awesome birthday present! Happy birthday, Mukhtar!

Recommended: "Girlfriend" at Berkeley Rep

Tonight I saw Girlfriend at Berkeley Repertory Theatre and highly recommend it. You'll come away singing and filled with that warm first-love glow.

Read up on this wonderful musical based on Matthew Sweet's influential album.
