Visiting MICA

I visited MICA (Maryland Institute College of Art) in Baltimore last Monday to give a guest lecture and a stencil demo at Marcos Chin's class.

The train ride from NY  was smooth and fun, Marcos had a microwaved sandwich and I had a half frozen one (lady asked us hot or cold and that's what we got...) hahaha

Marcos' has such an ambitious and creative class at MICA,  students have one semester to finish a production of the play "snow queen," From set design, costume design to acting all in 3 months!  It was like watching project runway, I was very impressed. Here is their website-->http://snowqueenremix.tumblr.com/

Giving a demo and lecture to his class was very easy, the students were nice and asked many questions (curious minds always make me happy when I do the lecture!)  It's a very talented class and Marcos is such an amazing teacher!  Lots to learn from him, I wish I had his class when I was in my undergrad...

Here are some fun photos of Marcos and I dressing up in their costumes :-)

The class was about 6 hours long~ fewwww we were all sleepy after that...

Thank you Jose for letting me stay in your beautiful apartment, and thank you Marcos for inviting me!

They will have 3 shows in early Dec, if you are in Baltimore, you should go see!

Making of Dali Mustache 5

There is a great write up about the Dali exhibit in New York Times!http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/03/arts/design/03dali.html this article is quite interesting and make us very excited about going there and perform in front of his paintings.

And our event is now posted on High Museums' website.   Atlanta, here we come! http://www.high.org/main.taf?p=4,3,2&eventId=662&eventTypeId=4

Update on our Dali Dresses: Ants have legs now!!!  looks creepier, prefect for the Dali-ween :-)

Making of Dali Mustache 4

We are now trying to figure out the construction of the Dali mustache.  This time it will be skinny and long, so it will only covers our heads + since Dali mustache has a small gap in the middle, we are making 2 separate ones. Now do you have any suggestions how we can keep the mustache up??? that's our home work for today!

Inspiration --- kodomo no kuni

"Kodomo no kuni" is a children publication in Japan which was published between 1922 and 1944. The color and simple figures.  I really get inspired by all of those beautiful art works. I especially like the fact all those artists are not doing "overly cute" stuff just because it's for children.  I can learn a lot from them :-)

NYCC--- extra

At NYCC I run into some people that I haven't seen for loooong time and it was great to catch up :-)And sip sip water with Nakako-san, and be captured by Mario brothers! Nakako-san, he has this amazing toy store in Hida-Takayama, Japan.  Here is the link: http://www.tomenosuke.com/ We were talking about his amazing creation "Tomenosuke blaster" which is a small edition replicas of the "Brade Runner Blaster" from the film Brade Runner. His store created them back in 2008, and it was sold out in 1 min! (wow)  And great stories he had of "making of" was so interesting. and this product, wow Such a beauty!
