http://youtu.be/QjOZQmo1SeQ

To celebrate the 20 year anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall  1,000 dominoes were set up along the area where the wall once stood and toppled over. Various countries had artist draw different things on every domino. It's a pretty cool thing to watch!

Greyscale Vector Graphic





This is a classic playstation style controller. I wanted to stay dark with the main body as originally its black. So I choose a lighter color for the wording so it's readable.

Check out this video! I remember doing this as a kid and occasionally in the movie theater when the movie ends. The guy making these images, with his hand, is an expert as I am not able to make half of them.

Controller Drawings







Used Adobe illustrator to draw vector images of a video game controller.

Art and Design article 1



I enjoy the industrial sculpture type of art and came across an interesting article. Miya Ando created a sculpture from a twisted piece of steel from the World Trade center. The artist was unable to find a place for the sculpture due to the controversy of using materials from the World Trade Centers. I understand 9/11 was a horrible day in American history, but the artist should be allowed to display their art. Thanks to the Mayor of London it will now have a  permanent home in London’s Olympic Park. This is a great example of how you can take anything and create art from it.
