Animation by Takeshi Murata
by I was pleased to be an artist in residence at the innovative desktop 3D printing company MakerBot Industries.

Victoria F. Gaitán’s baroque flesh and blood still lifes
My friend Victoria F. Gaitán decorates her portrait subjects with meat or blood or candy to create intimidating baroque flesh and blood still lifes.

There’s not much one can say about an artist who has recorded more than 400 albums — even if you manage to listen to a large portion them, there’s a good chance you’ve missed something.
