I’m finally getting back on the product track. My online store is lagging… I know, but to hold everyone over I’ve posted my first zazzle shirt, the Secret Geometry of Pringles. This is an old design, but one that never really came into existence, so I’m glad to bring it to life. Keep tabs on the new stuff at my zazzle page.

 GameLife of Wired just posted some nice images of David Crane, creator of Pitfall!, in front of a running Atari. Since my game Skatefall! came out, anything promoting David Crane peaks my interest. It’s good to see these guys getting their due.

 “Wii’ll not forget” is a street campaign that re-creates classic game images with post-it notes. On the back of each note is a message about the Wii Virtual Console. This is not the first pixelated post-it note experiment, but good ideas will get copied, always.

 PinMAME is a pinball emulator along the lines of MAME, the arcade emulator. PinMAME does it’s best to re-create the pinball experience, and like MAME they work right from the original ROMs.

 I had this same idea some time ago. I even bought a domain name. But, I didn’t act on it. The idea is pretty simple - a web site that users can log into and post their favorite skate spots. Spotcovr did it, and they built a powerful site, that users can log into and edit, post, and show spots the world. |

Everybody and their moma has seen this already but the Simpson’s avatar maker is awesome. There are some minor missing bits - no accessories, no toys (skateboard, yo-yo maybe, or a walkman), and the hair styles are a tad lacking. I did two, the 2nd one, John Freeborn “the RISD years” has been edited with ole Photoshop.

| Time flies when you are working too much and not having enough fun. The spring weather has arrived on the east cost and I couldn’t be happier about it. So, to celebrate, I’ve migrated my email from Entourage to Apple Mail. So much fun - I can’t even explain. The transition has been pretty smooth so far. Some minor glitches slowed me down, but the apple discussion groups moved me ahead. Now all I need to do is sort throught the 20,000 emails! There are some creative things happening. The video above links to a documentary about my wife - Amy S. Kauffman. AND - in the fall of last year I did a little collaboration with typeology.com - Activision came from the partnership - and now you can download and type away in 8-bit glory. |

| A long time ago I started work on a book. Finally “Big Kids/Little Kids” will hit the streets on January 19th, 2007! The book is about the Philadelphia emerging art scene, but isn’t confined to just Philadelphia. The book features artists who have been influenced by and who have influenced the scene. The book focuses on 4 galleries (SPACE1026, 1Pixel, 222gallery, and Spector) and the artists who’ve shown in these places. There are too many great people to name them all, and you can see the full list and diagram here. (But to name drop a few: Shepard Fairey, Jim Houser, Barry McGee, Rich Jacobs, Chris Johansen, Ryan McGinness, Brian Ralph, Andrew Jeffrey Wright, and many more) So, pre-order now and get it before the stores. –> Buy Now! |

| Mew Gallery is having their grand opening this Saturday. If you are going to be in the Philadelphia area you should come by. Lauren and Carolynne have been hard at work for months getting this place toghether and it’s looking good. MEW will have artist made goods from mostly Philadelphia based artisans: clothes, jewelry, prints, toys, dog scarves, and much much more. There is also an art gallery, with many good shows in the works. These photos are from last week, so you’ll notice some rough edges, but don’t worry. On Saturday there will be food and fun. Oh, and I did the logo and website. Go on Saturday, buy something and support the good works. |
