HUMAN MOTION



Peter Jansen creates sculptures that focus on the body’s movement freeze-framed in time and space. Working with Materialise.MGX, Jansen is able to produce polyamide figures by using a rapid prototyping process that makes good use of the Materialise.MGX technology. Heel Daoyin, Runner and Thomas Flair were part of the Materialise.MGX exhibition in Milan’s Zona Tortona last month, and Jansen’s work, all arms, legs and muscles, was the perfect vehicle to understand some of the process.

THE PLANET AS A CANVAS - THE BIGGEST DRAWING IN THE WORLD


Using a briefcase, a GPS device and the services of DHL, Erik Nordenankar has created a giant self-portrait on the map of the earth. The art work spans 6 continents and 62 different countries and is a pretty impressive demonstration on the part of DHL.

Good ride. Good ride.
And I do apologize to the strippers on the East Side for not making it over there. But in all fairness, your boobies in my face do not out weight the possibility of being stabbed because I'm riding a bike after dark...maybe next time ladies...

FLOBOTS - HANDLEBARS


The Flobots are a progressive hip hop group from Denver, CO. Check out their rad video for their song [HANDLEBARS].

What really sets the band apart from the masses is their non-profit agenda, [FLOBOTS.ORG]. According to the website, “After being inspired by young people during performances at schools and local peace organizations, members of the Denver-based band Flobots decided to create a non-profit entity that would demonstrate the ability of bands to use their platform to promote civic engagement and social change.

Enjoy.

SCAVENGER RIDE

Alright, here's the drill...my kickball game was canceled so I need something to do this Saturday. That being said, Mr. R and I have agreed to take on requests of destinations we will ride our bikes to and photograph our ugly mugs as proof of existence. So we need destination points to be suggested by you fools.

Here are a few things to keep in mind before filling my comments page with poopy ideas:

At some point we'll need to eat.
At some point we'll need more beer.
We like sweets.
We like touristy landmarks and whatnot.
We like super cool places only STL folks know about.
We like random things in nature.
And we like all sorts of people.

Now get requesting please and thank you.

Oh...and feel free to join us in our quest for mediocrity.

YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE NOT DOING THIS SATURDAY

Okay kiddos and so called kickball enthusiasts...I regret to inform you that the “Super Fun Fantastic Time to be Had By All Best Kickball Extravaganza Ever Biannual Pt 3” previously scheduled for this Saturday has been canceled until further notice due to lack of popular demand...you’ve done this to yourselves...I hope you’re happy. Again...no kickball this Saturday.

Respectably Signed,
Thoroughly Disappointed Debbie

LIKE HELL I'M MISSING MY PROM

I'm not sure, but I think I know how to cure the common cold... a simple four elements must be in place.

Stag

Okay...so I'm not cured...but I'm better. And way happier I didn't sit on my couch eating oatmeal and green tea feeling sickly and miserable. Thanks Doctor FBC.

I KNOW WHERE THE ZOMBIES CAME FROM


Looking from afar as if somebody has escaped reality by ripping a hole right through it, there's something 'show stoppable' about these guerrilla street posters meant to promote HP photo paper.

Each black hole was made of paper and strategically placed around the city to fool people into thinking the background was actually a fake backdrop. In reality, the only fake thing was the hole printed on HP paper.
