So I was hoping I’d be able to show off the Tagged Mobile Homes someday, I just didn’t know it would happen this quickly. The mobile will be showing at The Drop on Oct. 3rd to Oct 17th. It looks like it’s going to be a great time.

Again I want to thank everyone who helped with this one.

I am very excited about this project.

It started with a great idea from Kiel Mead. During the Hue Are You? show he said, “Wouldn’t it have been cool if we got street artists to tag all of the Mobile Homes houses?” Yes it would Kiel, yes it would.

Once I met superk8, things started to happen. Kate was my connection to some great people. She and a bunch of other artists get together for a show called the Conscious Cycle (the video below is actually last year’s Conscious Cycle).

The Conscious Cycle was held on Governors Island in NYC during the Figment festival. I met a bunch of great people there, and everyone was cool with lending me a hand. During their down time from painting the mural, they all decorated my silly little houses. So cool. I think they all turned out great.

The artists involved are:

Royce Bannon
Chris from Robots Will Kill
Veng from Robots Will Kill
Lou Auguste
Vince

Infinity - Endless Love Crew

Thanks again everybody.

Haven’t done this in awhile, I saw this at Kate and Jon’s place.

Recently I gave a couple of sets of eyes to some kids (I can’t believe I haven’t done that before, stupid I know), it was great to see them play with them. They instantly started attaching them to metal things, to their hair, their clothes, so cool. Definitely one of the more fun things I’ve ever made.

Thanks mom.

When Jason and I finally decided to enter the ELE contest, we had about a week to do it. So the project was going to be a quick one and on the cheap. It turns out, I had just about everything I needed to make 3 robot heads in my apartment.

I put some time into two of the heads, the third one was basically just a white board, spray painted silver (not my best work).

The body was a wooden frame bolted to the back of an office chair. I sat backwards on the chair to operate the heads.

 

We even put a little site together for the good doctor.

So I’ve been giving people sets of ping pong ball eyes, and asked them to send an email with pics of what they came up with. So far the results are great.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the Face of the Month by Ben Heavy. I never even thought about using the eyes to attach to themselves through non-magnetic material. Well done.

Thanks for the idea Corban.
