Brendan Monroe

Below is a photo of the upcoming Sour’s collection by Brendan Monroe. And below the quote are a few more similar sculptures which can be found on his site.

“Anthropomorphic creatures rule Monroe’s work. With an affinity for the flora and close observation of human activity Monroe helps reconnect the fading dots between us and our primal selves. The elements play a feature role in scenes that aren’t referential to a particular era instead fusing a timeless atmospheric quality with a contemporary receptivity. A muted earthy palette unifies the show visually which extends beyond the paintings and sculptures to the walls of the gallery.” – Mike Kelly, Junc Gallery

Not only is Jeremy Fish’s work stunning, but if here were to start a vinyl toy line, there wouldn’t be a penny in my checking account. Or would there be?

NeKo Windows/Keyboard Hybrid
October 25, 2005

Open Labs’ NeKos are powerful keyboards that pack a full-blown Windows PC, tuned software, and control surfaces into a single musical instrument. They’ve got some heavy-hitting celebrity endorsements, and they’re rugged: one NeKo managed to continue functioning after being being beaten with a baseball bat and set on fire by DJ Richard Devine.
This month, Open Labs unveiled the next-generation NeKo keyboard: sexier looking, more features, and cheaper. Porsche car paint, faster processors (up to a dual core 64-bit AMD CPU), Pro Tools software, and even Borg-like ability to clone your hardware synths and automatically create multisamples. Priced for mortals, too: US$2,295 gets you all the basics, up to US$5,995 for the absolute top-of-the-line. More after the jump.
