Mass MOCA

Recently visited Mass MOCA to view several great exhibits with the family. The second photograph is from Projections by Jenny Holzer and the third photograph is from Sculpture and Paintings by Anselm Kiefer. See more photos on the Flickr stream.

MASS MoCA is the largest center for contemporary arts in the United States. The institution is dedicated to the creation and presentation of provocative visual and performing arts pieces, and of works that blur conventional distinctions between artistic disciplines.

The Month of July

Was awarded the Henry Wolf Award, a Worldstudio AIGA scholarship! This was very exciting news and I thank everyone who was involved with the scholarships. In writting to express my thanks to AIGA and Worldstudio I shared the following with them.

Design holds a special place in my life and work. It is just not a career track but a way of thinking, communicating, and living. While I plan on being a graphic designer I also plan on using design and creative thinking in other areas such as business, politics, and education.

Shel Israel will be getting a fresh coat of design work on his blog and website by yours truly! I am really looking forward to the design project and developing a more strucured online presence for his many projects. Shel interviewed me about social media here and blogged about my book here. You can read more about the changes in Shel’s work at this post entitled Several Changes.

The book tentatively titled Backwards will have much of it written this week. It is a book of my ideas, plans, and proposals on how to solve the many problems that are facing us in the world today. I have recently finished the detailed outline for the book and have concluded most of the research, in doing so I will start the actual writing process this week. I look forward to sharing some of the book with you in the coming weeks.

Wall-E, The Film

This was a cinematic experience like no other. This movie captures the many aspects of human life in a little robot named Wall-E as he goes through his ordinary life, until one day he falls in love with a new robot and they go on an adventure together. While there was very little dialog, you were still able to connect to the characters and feel for them. And from a creative perspective the film was beautiful. I believe that this film will provide an entertaining theatrical experience to any one who sits down and witnesses the magic that is Wall-E.
