Short Clip of Mole Rats in Action!

On Saturday, the 20th of April Zoe participated in SFAI's Graduate open studios...

We'll have documentation of her work shortly, but here's a brief clip of her animatronic mole rat sculptures in action.  Although, a bit of a warning - the video is a bit shaky, as it was taken from a mobile phone.

We are also re-activating our ETSY SITE.  Right now, first edition copies of the Mole Rat Information Book and Books About Things are available.  We'll be adding more as the week goes on.  

(Blake's work is still available here as well)

BLAST FROM THE PAST

Blake was going through "the archives," and discovered this piece!  

It's the wood-block Zoe used for her print "Zach Galifianakis in the Bathroom" (the last image in this post.)  As you may recall, Zach was a bit of a muse for her, back in 2010.

WEBSITE AND OTHER COOL STUFF!!!

Blake and Zoe have been quite busy!

Zoe is currently working on several projects - each scheduled to be shown over the course of her upcoming exhibitions, including Currency at the San Francisco Mint.  

These pieces include several new animatronic creatures, more books, and prints.  In addition to all of this, there will be new "Foamless=Homeless" material... including 'Government Sponsored' N.A.A.F. (National Association for Foam Fortification) informational booklets and safety kits!!!

[sorry we're holding back a bit on details/ images this time... but it WILL be cool]

Blake has been assisting with these projects, in addition to establishing his own website.

The site, www.blakepetersonart.com/ is an online portfolio, which collects a selection of Blake's 'fine art' pieces (including collaborations), in addition to several of his commercial projects.  Please take some time to explore the site (and watch the videos!), and come back again - as it will be continually updated.

Blake will also have some more preview images of new work here on the blog soon.

AND - in the near future, there will be some more web-specific updates...
