One more day left for the model citizens show. I met so many great designers and artists. There work is incredible, I was honored to be among them. I’m still trying to digest everything, but here are some shots of what is being shown.

I will be showing some pieces at model citizen nyc this Design Week. A bunch of new lamps, Monster Mirrors, Finn’s Army, Mobile Homes, and Rubber Origami Mobiles. There will also be a general store and a ton of great work to buy. I’m very excited to be showing among so many great designers and artists. If you are in the city, please come on by.

Opening night reception on May 15th 5-8PM.
531 West 36th St., 2nd Fl
(between 10th and 11th Ave)

Came across these two great turned toys (thank you minor details). I love how simple they are and yet are pretty expressive. All of the artists are from Argentina, must be something great in the water there. I might have to rip these off.

Familia Tipo by Gonzalo Arbutti & Marcelo Federico.

Last post on the MAD Salon, I promise.

Christina Latimer, a great photographer, was kind enough to share some of the pictures she took at the event.

Thanks Christina. Check out some of her work at bailliwik.

Alma Allen is a sculptor, furniture maker, and tuner who makes some beautiful pieces. His turned stools are incredible. He has inspired me to take a crack at it.

Do yourself a favor and check out his stuff.

Kiel set me up with a sweet location. The mobile was hanging over a fantastic table and bench from Bear and Lion. They make some fantastic furniture.

It was an incredible show. There was a piece by Yoko Ono, a Chuck Close spotting, live graffiti under the High Line, free booze. It was fantastic. Open till Oct. 17th, check it out if you can.

Go see Apartment Therapy’s post on it, much better pictures than I took.

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
