Here's some pix from Lauren Casteel's show BEAR LOVIES at the PURE DETROIT DESIGN LAB...
1. Lauren Casteel just loves to draw bears on plates. The plates were very reasonably priced and I think that she sold a bunch!!!
2. This plate was painted with a can of INSTANT BLACKBOARD and drawn on with chalk. Don't spill your drink on this one!!! (I'm not kidding, there really is such a thing as INSTANT BLACKBOARD. Check it out at ACE Hardware!!!).
2.1 Here's what Lauren looks like. Look at those cool tights!!! That's Sarah Lurtz hiking up her skirt.
3. Lauren made a tea set too. Here's Sarah Lurtz and Crispy having a tea party. (Lauren's opening marked Sarah's last day as director of the Design Lab and Samantha Bullock's first day as director. Good luck to the both of them!!!)
4. They look nice but I think that Sarah replaced her tea with something a little stronger. Whoop's!!! You can see more of Lauren's work here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/toybreaker/.
5. The next day my wife and I decided to go to the artmuseum in Toledo, Ohio. Here's a supercool Sol Lewitt mural that goes all around something (maybe an auditorium).
6. The museum guards told us that we couldn't take any pictures of the Matisse ceramic installation or any contemporary art. That was really sad but luckily I snapped a pic of the Matisse before he told us that we couldn't. That's my story anyway!!! They had some really cool stuff down there, it's a fun Saturday afternoon trip. They have a great Stella and a really nice Morris Lewis and a bunch of other cool junk. Check it out, admission is FREE (well it's really "donations" but you know what that means...)!!!
