    SEA BLUES is here!  

    Wow.  This has been a really long and crazy ride and now finally the books are in our hands.  We could not be more excited to show them off, so take a look!

    SEA BLUES is available to purchase online here.

    Wow, indeed! Cait Opp and Yael Malka’s Sea Blues, the photo book formerly known as Too Much Information, looks incredible.

  4. carolynmappleton: Judy Jensen ~ A Visit to the Studio Back when I lived in Austin in the mid-1980s, I acquired a small work by renowned glass artist, Judy Jensen. I have enjoyed having it in my home all these years. While in Austin on April 27 for another meeting, I took time to visit Judy’s studio before returning home to San Antonio. I brought with me her small early work, which Judy had not seen since those days. It is shown lying on the table closest to the viewer. We have both come a long way since then. Judy and I reconnected on Facebook, and it was through Facebook that I learned about her Kickstarter, “Sacred Glass: The Wat Chong Klang Project.” The project involves replacing glass paintings destroyed in an earthquake in a 19th century Buddhist temple in northwestern Thailand. At the time of this writing, she is two-thirds toward her goal of raising $15,000. Investors at all levels are welcome! The video posted on Kickstarter provides an excellent overview. Today, Judy’s art is found in numerous public and private collections, among them the Royal Ontario Museum, Smithsonian American Art Museum, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, McDonald’s Corporate Art Collection, and the Washington Art Consortium. For the past eight years, she has worked almost exclusively on commissions. Judy had her studio open on April 27 as part of the West Austin Studio Tour. It was a perfect time to stop by and say hello (and yes, I am one of her Kickstarter “backers”). Shown above right is long-time friend Jane Pulaski of the Interstate Renewable Energy Council. After visiting Judy, Jane and I took her recommendation and enjoyed lunch at Madam Mam’s Thai Cuisine. A quick but delightful day in Austin! Great story on the journey Judy Jensen’s art has taken through the years. Check out her latest project here.

    After a much longer than anticipated break, I am finally resuming the construction of the 1/100 Saturn V.II rocket.

    Since my last post:
    -Posters and prints were silkscreened
    -Hundreds of packages were sent all over the planet
    -There is a…

    Last year Paul Sahre ran the Saturn V Relaunch project. As part of it, he’s been running this project blog, where he shows you how to build your own rocket.
