Sorry about the lame title.Let's just say it was necessary...Katie Paterson's "Langjökull, Snæfellsjökull, Solheimajökull" is one of those ideas I wish were my own.These 3 records are as the name supposes made from glacier ice,and are played until they've fully melted...
The artist's explains:
Sound recordings from three glaciers in Iceland, pressed into three records, cast, and frozen with the meltwater from each of these glaciers, and played on three turntables until they completely melt.
The records were played once and now exist as three dvds. The turntables begin playing together, and for the first ten minutes as the needles trace their way around, the sounds from each glacier merge in and out with the sounds the ice itself creates. The needle catches on the last loop, and the records play for nearly two hours, until completely melted
I did this for my friends' band "a skline on fire".They recently went to ATP and got to see a bunch of awesome bands.I think this means that they will only become even better this year after having their minds blown.I did this drawing for the band sometime this year,and thougt I'd share it.
//MADE IN CHINA I recently did a t-shirtdesign for the Mingo Lamberti "Made in china" competition.Nedless to say,they didin't choose my design.Maybe I'll submit it on springleap?
the design is called "you eat what you are".

//THE KURT VONNEGUT POST
Kurt Vonnegut is definitely one of my favourite writers...I guess I l ike his honesty and the fact that he doesn't try to sound clever when making a point, but rather completely relies on his creativity instead... This image reminds me of the novel Cat's Cradle & one of my favourite quotes in it....
"No wonder kids grow up crazy. A cat's cradle is nothing but a bunch of X's between somebody's hands, and little kids look and look and look at all those X's..." "And?" "No damn cat, and no damn cradle."
