Wow.  After a whirlwind week of travels, I have a lot to talk about.  Rather than addressing things chronologically, I’ll hit the most important stuff first.
The new studio
The studio is almost ready! August 6 is going to be our Grand Opening. I’ve written a couple of times recently about my excitement at moving into a [...]

Wow. Time seems to really fly these days between my blog posts. There are long stretches that I just don’t have anything really interesting to report. Then, suddenly, a huge number of things come up that I want to share. Let’s see if I can get them all out there now. I’m not even sure [...]

Thanks to everyone that’s been helping us in trying to get a Pepsi Refresh grant. We’ve got a little over three more weeks to keep the votes going. It’s been fun to see so many people rally behind us. In fact, we have two big partners that I need to thank for all of their [...]

It’s a new year and time for Airigami to create a massive project. We spent a lot of time planning last year.  Now it’s time to build Elastic Park, my vision of Michael Crichton’s Jurassic Park. Of course, these things always come down to funding. We’ve found funding that we know we can get — [...]

It’s been an interesting year.  I participated in a couple of fashion shows, completed the Fine Art Masterworks series I had been working on with the creation of Sandro Botticelli’s The Birth of Venus. and I spoke at TEDxRochester about large scale projects and where I hope to go with them in the future.
It’s time [...]

TEDxRochester 2009 has come and gone. It was a huge honor to be invited to be a presenter.  I’ve been downloading TED Talk podcasts for a while now. I frequently find myself excitedly sharing some random bit of information I learned from the latest talk I had on my iPod. Now, I was given a [...]

Before going to ArtPrize, I was asked what I’d do if I won.  I answered that I’d take a day off. Whether I won or not, I was fairly certain that  I’d have more than a few projects to work on as soon as I returned home, and more than a day off wasn’t going [...]

It’s been a long few days.  Thanks to everyone that’s been following the Venus project.  It’s been fun.  I’m looking forward to seeing what other artists  have done for ArtPrize.  But right now, I’m tired. If you’re in Grand Rapids, come see the final sculpture this week.  It will be around until the end of [...]
