SOTO’S BOOK IS HERE!!!

09.03.08

By: Alex Henry

Jeff Soto’s new book, Storm Clouds, published from Murphy Design, just went on sale at noon PST today. His previous book, Potato Stamp Dreams, sold out and is so difficult to find. You have to get Storm Clouds! We just ordered our copy. The hard cover volume features 154 pages, specialty printing techniques and over 264 high-quality, full color images with featured commentary provided by David Choe, Peter Frank (Senior Curator of Riverside Art Museum), Jeff Soto and Mark Murphy. I just peed my pants.

All About The Composition: iPhone Photography

09.01.08

By: Justin Cline

I’ve been getting into photography lately, I have seen the amazing images one can capture and create… and the amount of money you can invest. I own 3 cameras now and this lil gem is about the “lowest-end” one.

Since the iPhone came out, one of the cons was its rather poor camera. While I can support that claim, I have to admit I have gotten some ‘descent’ images out of it (if I don’t move, and the lighting is perfect, and, and…).

I just came across this site and love the idea. Check out Just What I See: The iPhone photography of Greg Schmigel.  He has produced some amazing images with his phone; It’s been very inspiring to see what an artist can do w/ a *cough* basic camera and a great eye.

JOSEPH SHAEFFER X SOFT&FURRY™

09.01.08

By: Todd Berger

Our studio mate and regular collaborator, Joseph Shaeffer just wrapped up his contribution to the SOFT&FURRY™ exhibition at the Plastic Chapel.  Gotta say it’s one of my personal faves.  Joe spent a couple days clamping and aligning GROOND on the mill, machining out some recessed little nooks and crannies and integrating a number of custom accouterments.  His backpack (not visible in the photo) is frikin’ amazing!!!

09.01.08

By: Todd Berger

Jan Willem aka Zeptonn via the Netherlands just shot over some sneaky pics of his toy for the S&F™ show.    This week is starting to feel like Christmas and Hanukah had a baby and that baby had some SOFT&FURRY babies…  What a holiday that would be!

SOFT&FURRY™ toys - 100 completed.

09.01.08

By: Todd Berger

Over the weekend we finished makin’ our 100th member of the S&F™ family.  The studio got pretty torn up, and out of respect for Joe and Chris (our studio mates - that have been super chill while we made a massive mess) we spent some time cleaning, and in so doing organized all the materials we used to mold and cast our not so soft and furry friends.  Here’s pretty much everything you’d need to hand-cast a whole bunch of urethane toys and a shot of the studio relatively cleaned up.

MY EXPERIENCE AT THE DNC

08.31.08

By: Mark Siebert

I was fortunate enough to witness Barack Obama’s acceptance speech in person during the DNC event at Mile High Stadium. My brother did video work for the DNC all week and hooked us up with floor passes that granted us access almost everywhere. We even went inside Mile High stadium to see all of the production trucks and the private offices for the major networks. We shared the floor with the media, major news networks, and the delegates. I met a lot of interesting people.

Mile High was electric, especially when Obama spoke!

Below are the photos that I took. It was a truly unbelievable experience.
