Illustrator Christoph Neimann made a holiday post out of what appears to be cookie dough! There’s plenty of whimsy, sprinkles, and visual puns in the many panels at his New York Times blog. Link -via reddit

Bead Me Up, Scotty

Posted by Queuebot in Art, Film on February 2, 2009 at 6:13 pm

Earlier this year Devorah Sperber’s Star Trek art was featured in a show at Caren Golden Fine Art in New York. The show, entitled “Mirror, Mirror”, takes its name from a classic episode but also refers to the way viewers are meant to view the art – via reflective materials. The unique artwork is comprised only of beads and thread.

ViewMaster Artist

Posted by Queuebot in Art, Gadgets, Hacks & Mods, Toys on January 26, 2009 at 7:14 pm

Everyone has used, seen or, at least, heard of a ViewMaster, the most classic of classic toys. For decades children have peered through the plastic ViewMaster binoculars and been transported to other worlds. As a kid, who didn’t watch a scuffle between Batman and The Joker play out in a myriad of 3D Pows and Whams or become a witness to picnic basket thievery by the infamous Yogi Bear. But who was responsible for creating the contraption’s 3D images?

“Most fans of the tiny fantasy worlds glimpsed through the lens of a View-Master viewer are probably unaware of the name Florence Thomas. Thomas was the Portland, Oregon sculptor employed by the makers of the 3-D viewer to create miniature dioramas of fairy tales and pop culture scenes which she then photographed for reproduction into the iconic circular white reels that have delighted children and adult collectors for decades.”
