Here’s Jason Kronenwald’s website- He’s into some old master bubblegum painting! He doesn’t like to chew his own gum, but instead has an army of gum chewers. He has explored a rainbow of gum in all sorts of sizes, flavors, and colors. He painstakingly creates his paintings on plywood using no artificial colors or flavors. (Previous gum art)… [via] Link.
Artwork made from chewed gum…the nascent bubble gum medium makes a strong artistic statement. Ben Harben’s work is composed of hundreds of pieces of 1-inch Dubble Bubble gum balls lovingly chewed to perfection, carefully placed on canvas panels and covered with an epoxy resin. The article has some HOW TO advice too. [via] Link and gallery.
MAKE Flickr photo pool member Nicrosin writes “Hard drive art: A simple art piece, I loved the way it looked so had to hang it up. Just take apart an old hard drive, remove the magnets, and mount it on the wall”. Neat. Anyone can join the MAKE photo pool and post your own MAKE-like projects, art or whatever. Link.
Hektor consists of a suitcase which contains two electric motors, a spray-can holder, toothed belts, cables, a strong battery and a circuit board which is connected to a laptop and controls the machine. The motors that are mounted onto the wall suspend the can holder through the toothed belts and define its position by changing the length of these belts. Thanks Doug! Link.
Well, it’s my birthday today, and despite my request for no presents, I did get a couple of MAKE-like goodies. Here is a spent shotgun shell turned into one of those flower vases with the suction cups. Photo here and here (with flower). I wonder what it shot.
Painting the Myth, a new system for interactive biography, allows participants to illustrate the work, histories and stories of artists by moving through increasingly rich and detailed layers of their best known works. This unique digital storytelling experience merges form and content into one engaging look at the story behind the canvas, the secrets inside the history, and the artist in each of us. Link.
Here’s a gallery of drawings made on the Nintendo DS. Sometimes I give my PSP a bit more attention it seems, but PicoChat on the DS is fun to draw and send things to others, so I keep the DS around, just for that…the gallery has some interesting art. Link.
