bring PLAY into your world
This friday, the Showroom NYC and Osaka Popstar is hosting a show, Devil Dog Art Show.
This is my entry to the show. Inspired by Dumbo’s Pink Elephants on parade. This devilish elephant is actually a devil dog in disguise. He wears a suit made of needle felted wool.
I dropped off my piece for the Obama show this morning. I hadn’t even thought of giving it a title. I couldn’t think of anything! I’m terrible at coming up with titles for my pieces. If i can i tend to just leave it as “untitled”. But I was so fortunate today that my good friend Shane was next to me when the naming crisis came up! It didn’t take him long to think of one either. So here it is, the Yes We Canon… Or is it Yes You Canon?
The piece is made of needle felted wool and has a magnet that mounts it on a steel base, with the Obama figure like a canon ball/daredevil signifying his quick shot to the top.
The Obama show opened this evening at the Showroom NYC and has been extended for another week. My piece is for sale. 90% of the sales go towards the Obama campaign fund.
Well boys and girls, here it is. Our Bart Qee for the upcoming show at the Showroom NYC this weekend. It’s called B.A.R.T. for Biomechanical Artificial Roving Terrain. This is a collaborative piece and I could not be any happier with the results. The concept for B.A.R.T. is based on the idea of a self contained and movable environment. The look came about through our mutual love of Victorian design.
On top is the beautiful sky dome where cute Unibear is looking out at the world. If you are in NYC this weekend, come and see the show at the Showroom NYC in the East Village.
The World Premiere of these custom D.I.Y. figures was at the Taipei Toy Festival. Shortly after that the custom figures were on display at the San Diego Comic Con. The TOY2R D.I.Y. Qee Project will then tour art galleries in the US and overseas. The tour is now stopping in NYC this weekend and we are one of the artists participating. Our Bart’s next stop is Hong Kong then all the Bart’s will be up for auction. Will post something when I get more details on it.
