Zelle
(01 February 2006) - Liz McLean Knight's work literally represents the integration of art, technology and design. A Chicago-based computer science major who developed an interest in art, went to art school, became a jewelry designer, musician, publisher and record label exec along the way. Her jewelry features intricate geometric designs made with capacitors, transitors, cables, plugs and diodes. It's both graceful and geek chic. Zelle jewelry, bags...

James Tichenor
(21 December 2005) - James Tichenor is a digital Renaissance man. As a trained architect he practiced in New York before deciding to go back to school to explore new technologies for materials and prototyping. That exploration came from an artistic and oftentimes psychedelic angle. His portfolio includes many interesting projects, but one of my favorites is the 640x480 Cocktail Umbrellas. Basically, it's an array of cocktail umbrellas...

Audrey Kawasaki
(12 December 2005) - I was thrown this link the other night. And as I went through it, I was just astounded by how sensual and startling Audrey Kawasaki's work is. It's kinda hot and freaky so I thought I'd just share. I'm sure you're thinking "Oh great, lucky me..." But seriously, take a look for yourself. I find the looks the girls stare back at me slightly...

Colani
(12 December 2005) - Berlin-born Luigi Colani, with his trademark moustache, all-white ensembles, and stogie, was the 60s rockstar of design. Since graduating from the Sorbonne where he studied aerodynamics, for over 50 years he's given everything from high-heels to "meditation" chairs his utopianist, biomorphic makeover, but the streamlined, ultra-futuristic contours of his cars are what he's most well-known for. A new book (titled Colani: The Art of...

Ruth Marshall
(09 December 2005) - The highlight from Scope was undeniably Ruth Marshall and her acumen for craft-work combined with a nutty sense of humor. When the Australian born artist isn't at her day job sculpting exhibits at the Bronx Zoo, she's still committed to her love and fascination for animals. Presented by Dam, Stuhltrager, these knitted animal pelts are a delightful comment on both the trophy and the...

Gregory Siff
(08 December 2005) - When Gregory Siff isn't acting in independent films, modeling for Abercrombie, or hosting Disney's Z Games, he's painting, creating installations and sculptures, or customizing Stan Smith adidas. The NYC-born, 27 year-old wunderkind tailors the kicks, called "Gregory's," according to the character of the individual. Currently he also offers more minimalist versions, like those pictured, at Rudy's Barbershop in the Hollywood Standard hotel. His graffiti...

Jeppe Hein: Distance
(02 December 2005) - Last night we went over to Miami's thriving design district for the design.05 Miami show (more on that to follow) and on our way in got side tracked by this installation from 31 year old Danishman Jeppe Hein. Distance is an exploration of art as a game. When a viewer enters the gallery a white ball is released on to a 330 feet roller...

Classic Cookbooks
(24 November 2005) - For some, Thanksgiving is the one day of the year when cookbooks come off shelves and get put to use. With last month's English-language release of the Italian classic The Silver Spoon, lauded as the bible of Italian cuisine, and the upcoming 75th anniversary of the Joy of Cooking in 2006, we decided to take a look at other books that have made it...

Cindy Wright
(24 November 2005) - Cindy Wright is a Belgian artist who is showing her work for the first time in the United States at Pulse, a fair concurrent with Art Basel in Miami. [We'll be on site giving you reports all next week]. Cindy's work is nothing short of awe inspiring. Her Lips, 2004, above right, is reminiscent of a similar painting (of a woman's lips with smeared...

Thirsty Work by Matt Skinner
(22 November 2005) - Matt believes that everyone can learn about, understand, and enjoy the pleasures of wine without carrying around little pocket charts, subscribing to glossy wine magazines and using fancy words to describe the experience. And anyone fortunate enough to have eaten at Fifteen, Jamie Oliver's restaurant in London, has experienced Matt Skinner's "Thirsty Work." As the sommelier at Fifteen (or "head of the wine team"...

Jeanie M.
(10 November 2005) - Jeanie M. is an artist and taxidermist from San Francisco. After several years photographing roadkill a friend (?) passed along a dead mouse that their snake passed on. She took this as a sign and started making whimsical scenes with small animals (mostly mice). She also teaches taxidermy at Paxton Gate, an eclectic and inspired store in San Francisco....

Where the Ladies At?
(11 October 2005) - From Rotterdam to Boston, tracking down some of the girl sneakerheads who care more about Blazers than Blahniks. The international legions of sneaker collectors are looking a lot more like fixtures than passing trends. But, despite this year's debut of a documentary on the subject, Keep female fans are starting to get their due. After all, for every Jordan afficionado or Clyde addict, there's...

Luis Pons
(27 September 2005) - Four years ago, Luis Pons was farming and tending to his cows in Venezuela's Amazon jungle. Forced from the country due to political strife, these days the architect leads quite a different life as the principal owner and designer of his preeminent firm in Miami. Already well-known for his imaginative architecture, interiors, and objects, his latest foray is into jewelry. This week, his Magnetik...

Etsu Meusy
(27 September 2005) - Gum Ball machines, Axl Rose, and ice skaters - sometimes all within one composition- are among the many subjects in Japanese-born Etsu Meusy's work. The Vancouver-based artist's nostalgia-tinged 70s and 80s pop cultural pastiches have found a home in the pages of Nylon, Tokion, and Faesthetic among others, but her take on the Tenugui, available through Giant Robot is what captivated us recently. Her...

Lobo, 6 Questions
(09 September 2005) - Since first watching Lobo's reel, I've played it probably 20 times - as much for the fluid motion of an unfurling pink hibiscus (for Diesel), or the geek appeal of a textbook-style diagram of a carbonated soda, as for the anthemic choice of soundtrack, Alice Cooper's "Drones." When I ask creative director Mateus de Paula Santos why he chose the music, he answers simply,...

Charlie White, 6 Questions
(29 August 2005) - Charlie White's richly narrative work inserts otherwordly creatures into situations that range from banal to melodramatic: a puppet everyman sings forlornly on the scene of a car accident in an Interpol video, a naked alien character mingles at what looks like a suburban swingers' cocktail party, and doll-like children play in a clichéd oil painting of a rural yard. The effect is eerily compelling,...

Joshua Davis, 6 Questions
(19 August 2005) - We're in the home stretch leading up to the inaugural American edition of Semi-Permanent, the design conference that's met great success over the last few years in Sydney and London. Held in New York City's Avery Fisher Hall, the event emphasizes creativity, bringing together image-makers and producers at the forefront of diverse fields like advertising, graphic design, web, graffitti, and animation.

Food Critic
(06 July 2005) - Artist Nicolas Touron’s new exhibit at the Virgil de Voldère Gallery in New York City uses most unlikely objects to tell his startling fables of global affairs. Armed primarily with sugar and ceramics, he has set out to portray the world as he sees it, a sphere where the world’s daily machinations can be both overwhelming and terrifying, and things are rarely as sweet...

Lynne Golob Gelfman
(13 June 2005) - Cloud-like layers, minimalist abstractions, mid-century palettes -- most would agree that the paintings by Miami-based Lynne Golob Gelfman appear to be art. Her most recent exhibit (she's been in over 80 to date), O the Games We Play, is a group show that opened on June 11th and runs through July 1st at Fredric Snitzer Gallery, the Miami gallery that's been representing her for...

This Boy's Got the Blues
(02 June 2005) - Who says a white teenager from Saskatchewan can’t have the blues? Thank god no one told 17-year-old Kyle Riabko because we’d be without one of the hottest young up-and-comers in the blues genre. Back in the ‘90s, Jonny Lang, another young blues wunderkind from the northern region (North Dakota's not as far north, but it's up there, ya know?!), came out of nowhere to...

Take a Ride on The Adam Brown
(12 May 2005) - While up in Montreal last weekend, I had the chance to meet some of the city’s movers and shakers in the music scene. Someone told me about this young singer/songwriter named Adam Brown and after hearing a couple of his tracks, I knew I had to meet him. Adam and I had lunch one day at the famed Schwartz’s Deli on St. Laurent in...

Jim Campbell
(06 May 2005) - If you're in NYC, there's just one week left to catch Jim Campbell's Material Light at the Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery. And it's a must-see. Campbell's brilliant LED animations render sensuous yet eerie scenes with amazing depth considering the low fidelity out-put. This show includes work from the last four of his 20 years in making technological art, and features works in a new direction...

(21 February 2005) - This unique work is line on glass layered over a collage by Peter Mitchell. Peter was born in Bracebridge Ontario Canada in 1978, a town famous for its skidoo and Vermouth parties. He was raised by sober parents, and hugely influenced by the stories of Roald Dahl.
