This is a must see for all designers and anyone who likes good design in everday life.

Joe Smolinski

New Haven artist Joe Smolinski draws cell phone trees with very unique personalities. The details are really amazing that it's hard to believe you can get such great results from a graphite pencil. You can check out some of his drawings exhibited from April 10th - 28th at Artspace New Haven and even bid on an original at the Annual Gala Benefit Art Auction on Arpil 28th.

Bizarregoylz™

Bristol CT sculpter Jared Gagne came across the idea for his Bizarregoylz™ series while playing with clay on his kitchen table one day. The bizzaregoylz are all fully customized by Jared. It must be real sweet having an army of bizzaregoylz around the house.
