Eye Pop Art Commercial - "So good, it's almost illegal"

You gotta watch the first ever Eye Pop Art commercial!

This was created by my young friend Traver Danielson, who has an amusing youtube channel called trilleneum.

Traver is the son of Mark "Mad Dog" Danielson, who is my collaborator on the Mandala Pinwheels. Mark is the "dood" who engineered the design in order to make them super-duper-spinnable. He is currently prepping the records and steel rods for the Uncommon Goods catalog order.

Mark is a hoot. Here he is in my kitchen, with one of the prototype designs for the pinwheel:His son is pretty hilarious too. As Mark says, "The nuts don't fall too far from the tree..."

Please watch the video and let me know what you think!

Art Camp, Day 2: Mandalas

Here are some of the designs my students worked on during Day 2 of art camp. They are doing mandalas on vinyl records!

Bring on the Brightness

I've listed a bunch more bright new Eye Pop originals in my shop!
The painted record above became this Mandarin Orange Record Bowl:



The green and brown painted record became this Treehugger Record Bowl:


I've also added some colorful new cuffs like these two, called Jack of Hearts and Hot Pink, respectively:



Not to mention a whole slew of new Mandala Suncatchers, like these:


I made a new banner too! I had it "bubblized" by a shop that does that (makes your banners pop). It looks like this:
What do you think?

New mandalas in the works

I had quite a burst of creativity over the weekend, and made these seven new mandalas. These are all original designs hand painted onto recycled vinyl records. Three of them are getting ready to become clocks, and the other four will be bowls. The designs will also be used to make some new Mandala Suncatchers. You can see them for yourself this weekend at the Recycled Arts Festival in Vancouver, WA.
