Post-It Show 8

I'll have a few post-its at giant robot's post it show! All the post-its are quotes I've overheard while working in my studio. My studio door opens right onto the sidewalk of a busy street, so I hear lots of funny/interesting conversations, mostly from high school students walking home from school. Here's a peek at one of the post-its! And for all the info you need, click here.

ona's dream house

remember this post from '09? well the dog house is finally a reality! eli designed it, a friend built it, i painted it, and ona is clearly enjoying it.

from vilassar de dalt to pittsburgh

The first time I received images from kids who had created a cardboard city inspired by my Cartonlandia I was overwhelmed with joy. Since then, I've received images from two more classrooms who have created their own miniature city, this makes me very happy.

First, all the way from Vilassar de Dalt (a village in Catalonia, Spain) 3rd & 4th graders from La Immaculada School created the masterpiece below.

Second, 5th graders from the Falk Laboratory School at the Universtiy of Pittsburgh worked for 5 months creating their city, and it's a beauty.

love the "Dwarves and Mermaids Retirement Home" below

Scion iQ

Back in Oct 2010, I worked on a stop motion video for Scion's new smart car, the iQ. I posted a sneak peek of the project here and now I'm happy to share the final video! I worked with Eli Sipsas creating the entire city and cars from cardboard and paper. It was then animated by Tatia Rosenthal with lighting by Bobby Lam. Check out the video below! & for more info on the iQ click here.
