One of my classmates from VCU sent me a project that he is working on and I thought it was inspiring to post. Ray is a crazy idea factory, and I mean that in a good way.
Anyway, this past year teaching, I had to teach a class based on a social issue – I picked Manners and the decline of them. One of my students wanted to do something about graffiti (which had nothing to do with manners directly) but in our talks I came up with an idea – take something ugly and make something beautiful: So I started designing patterns based on gang tags:
SO then this year, Jim started radiation on his tumors and the Dr.s marked up his body. For my own therapy, I took photos of the marks and turned them into patterns:
So I’m thinking about getting them produced – I figured its the kinda of thing that clicks….
Any thoughts??

I was going to create some headline for this post that uses the term that describes people with plastic fetishes, however the Big Brother system at work thinks that looking up the word “fetish” in Google is a violation of morality. Blocked internet is fun, especially on days like today where I’m struggling to stay awake. Fortunately I have been able to find some loopholes around Big Brother but not for this particular query.
So anyways, the only reason I was posting this was because I was excited about the new Kid Robot figures coming out this week.
Ledbetter
Finders Keepers
From artist Joe Ledbetter comes his first fully designed and sculpted blind boxed mini series with the same vibrant colors, shadows, and character expressions we’ve grown to love. This new series of vinyl figures are essential to both Ledbetter fans and every one else who adores cute animals.
The dimensionality is great but what am I to do when my small space alotted for Kid Robot figures is full? That’s the point I’m at now but I think these new guys are a bit too cool to pass up.
