The Annotated Fuld - by Geoffrey Raymond

admin — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 04:58:38 +0000

Raymond completed a portrait series of various financial CEO’s that have been in the news lately. This one is of Richard Fuld, CEO of Lehman Brothers. Raymond took to the streets and exhibited his work outside the Lehman Brothers headquarters and select spots on Wall Street. There he allowed the public to include their message on the painting.

Here is a closer view of the Fuld painting where the signatures are visible.

Another round of upgrades and ehancements complete

admin — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 21:54:18 +0000

Whew! I hate upgrades but this one went about as smooth as I could ask for. I really wanted to get on the latest system so that I could begin a new design. This one has been up for almost a year now and it is time to freshen it up a bit. The upgrade included a new backend for folks that have blogs here, a related posts feature to make it easier to browse through the work and a Community News section in the sidebar.

Please let me know if anything is wonky or if you just have a suggestion. Thanks!

The reference above is to this image in case you do not know it. I found this work on The Obama Art Report. There are many to choose from but this one quickly stood out to me. There are many works around the web dedicated to the elections. If you know of any please share them with us in the comments below.

I have been a fan of these guys for a couple of years and the first project that I found was the LED Throwies. Not only does their work rock, but the projects are also open source. (ie - they tell you how to make them, for the non-geek readers)

Resin, aluminum sticks, stainless steel wires, springs and oil paint

Lee imagines what the skeletal structure of cartoon characters might look like. Pictured here are the three nephews of Donald Duck, Huey, Dewey and Louie in case you do not remember.
