All pieces from the Seattle show are available for viewing/purchase here!
“Thought Processor leads a mostly sentient existence. It is available to bounce ideas off of, also has been known to just float and listen. Beware! Don’t try to play mind games! For it ALSO has been known to cause brainstorms. Or worst yet, roll all over you and your stuff with its think tank.” – PHONETICONTROL
Eric “PHONETICONTROL” Broers is the robot-friendly artist out of San Francisco who created the “Thought Processor” character and subsequently, the traveling exhibition. He collaborated with artist Sjors Trimbach, who designed the template for the paper sculpture.
For the Seattle show over 15 local artists were asked to use digital media to create their own Thought Processor colorway, which came to life as it was folded into a 3D robot. All of the colorways are available for free download at www.phoneticontrol.com. Print out and assemble your own Thought Processor! Each artist has also created an accompanying 2D piece of art for the exhibit.
Thought Processor is focusing on collaboration one city at a time, showcasing local artists in their respective cities at local galleries. The tour thus far includes San Francisco www.super7store.com , Los Angeles www.munkyking.com, Chicago www.ohnodoom.com, Seattle urbanlightstudios.com / halogengallery.com, New York www.myplasticheart.com, and Manilla. More are being added all the time.
“THO PRO” is designed by PHONETICONTROL and sculpted by Sjors Trimbach

bethie sent me a new music book! the pages are slightly larger, but the quality of the paper is delightfully similar :) did a couple new ones while here in SF… this one is available here.

2010 has started out fast … we closed the gallery at the end of the year… settling in to life without it, and our new apartment… and a trip to SF for a week and a half. Some work, some fun, some visiting people and places… always amazing flying in. Cloudy, foggy, sunny, rainy, hills, water, homes and sun rays… it is great to be back :)

pack of four 1″ ninjagrl buttons in the shop now :)
2 are new! created from 2 of my favorite paintings, “Don’t go” and “not from around here”… The other 2 designs, the digital ones with turtle, are back by popular demand!
