Mark Ryden paints Mr. Lincoln

Ninja June 2nd, 2010

Hallo dear NvP readers! I’m so sorry for the lack of posts. My school work has been taking up most of my time (practically every waking moment). During my first term at Art Center, I revisited the times of all-nighters, ramen, and highly-caffeinated drinks.

Only now have I able to breathe a little easier and take in some of the fine galleries and sights that I missed my first few months in California. But enough excuses… and now for today’s inspirational clip: Mark Ryden painting Pink Lincoln for this past April’s exhibition, The Gay 90’s – Olde Tyme Art show, at the Paul Kasmin Gallery, New York.

Paul Sahre: A Designer And His Problems

Ninja April 15th, 2009

paul-sahre-a-designer-and-his-problems

I had the pleasure of meeting Paul Sahre at a talk some 6-7 years ago (I even got a nice silkscreen print from him). He is a truly inspiring, humble graphic designer and a fantastic human being.

I’m so happy that AIGA/NY’s first video podcast features Mr. Sahre and gives us an honest, humorous look at the mistakes and uncertainties of his life and career.



Thank you AIGA and Paul for sharing!

Tweenbots depend on the kindness of strangers

Ninja April 15th, 2009

tweenbots-depend-on-the-kindness-of-strangers

Tweenbots is social experiment designed by Kacie Kinzer from the Tisch School of the Arts in New York. This little, cardboard robot travels at a constant speed in a straight line and his goal is get from the North-east of Washington Square Park to the South-west corner. He can only reach his destination with the kindness and aid of New York pedestrians.

The journey the Tweenbots take each time they are released in the city becomes a story of people’s willingness to engage with a creature that mirrors human characteristics of vulnerability, of being lost, and of having intention without the means of achieving its goal alone. As each encounter with a helpful pedestrian takes the robot one step closer to attaining it’s destination, the significance of our random discoveries and individual actions accumulates into a story about a vast space made small by an even smaller robot.


Mission 1: Get from the Northeast to the Southwest Corner of Washington Square Park / time: 42 minutes / number of people who intervened: 29
