Thank you so much to everyone who supported and donated to my project! I am so grateful to be able to create my work and be the proud owner of a 3d printer. When I receive the money at the end of September I will be streaming the building of the 3d printer and the printing of the work. You can follow my progress on my USTREAM CHANNEL The Kickstarter is not over until September so there is still time and need for donation. Any money over my $3000 goal will go toward paying the people that are making this happen (my 3d designer and computer programmers) a little more money. They have been so generous helping me and I would like to be able to sweeten the deal for them!

Reddit Birthday Meme Inspired Party Supplies

Just picked up a few party supplies for my Reddit Bday.  The theme is leaning toward My Little Pony inspired by the upcoming new season to premier on Saturday September 17th at 9AM.  There are a few Pokemon and Spongebobs thrown into the mix for good measure.  Next week I have a date with Baked Ideas, a bakery I where I used to work.  I will be creating a Portal inspired Companion Cube Cake for my IRL guests and volunteers to enjoy.  I hope you all have your calendars marked for the first ever virtual internet birthday party!  Party favor will be provided for both IRL and virtual guests!  Don't miss it!

Roman Opalka

well well doesnt this look familiar...Roman Opalka

From his wiki article:
In 1965, in his studio in Warsaw, Opałka began painting a process of counting – from one to infinity. Starting in the top left-hand corner of the canvas and finishing in the bottom right-hand corner, the tiny numbers were painted in horizontal rows. Each new canvas, which the artist called a 'detail', took up counting where the last left off. Each 'detail' is the same size (196 x 135 cm), the dimension of his studio door in Warsaw. All details have the same title, "1965 / 1 – ∞"; the concept had no end, and the artist pledged his life to its execution: 'All my work is a single thing, the description from number one to infinity. A single thing, a single life.'

I found his work today while casually flipping through an old conceptual art book while on the phone.  I immediately ended the conversation when i saw his work.  It looks so much like my hexadecimal paintings its eerie.  Upon my discovery I quickly looked up his wiki only to find that he passed on only a week ago.  chills.
