Last year I attended a really fantastic event in Austin called MakerFaire.  Me and Jenni camped in our new REI tent, and spent two days playing around with electronics, crafts, games and robots.

At one booth we created a stop motion video using found objects, which was recently posted at Anda Mandala.

There are some excellent people in Dallas who are organizing this event, where art is auctioned off for charity.

Several of my friends are amongst the 150 or so artists who will be working in shifts to complete their contributions.

Its an awesome way to support a good cause.

Last night we went to see a fashion art installation called BASE at Corinth Park.

They had some wire sculptures by Scott Horn, and recreation of the "high five" (where hwy 635 and 75 meet, in Dallas).

Members of the School of Psychology at the University of St Andrews in Scotland have made a Face Transformer Java applet which can transform an image of a face by filters, including age, race, and the style of a famous painter.

My friend the illustrator and photographer Tania Kaufmann is showing her work at the Magnolia Theatre on May 29, 2008.

She recently collaborated with writer P.J. Kryfko on a short story called Amorphous and did the title for David Hopkins' multi-illustrator-contributation comic book Mine All Mine.

my friend the comic book artist kristian took 30 seconds to sketch this likeness of me.
