Say Hello To Our Little Friends, Part II

Filed Under Array

As some of you may already know, we have an affinity for these lil guys. It’s probably a combination of the bright colors, elfin size, and limited production that make us go gaga for toys… Yes, I said toys. There is much debate in the designer vinyl industry (did I just say industry?) about whether or not designer figures ought to be termed “toys.” The fact that these little objects are often designed by renowned artists & designers with plenty of self esteem has warranted the term “designer vinyl” to trump the usage of the otherwise lackluster and embarrassing word toy. I say f-word that idea. The moment that these things stop being considered toys is the moment that I loose interest in the whole thing. What’s wrong with toys? What’s wrong with grown-ups reminiscing about opening the box of a new toy? Sure, these figures are often a form of collectible art, and sure they are not approved by child safety hazard requirements, but they are still toys: Small, ornate figures collected and adored for the purpose of fun and personal enjoyment. I’m an adult, but I’m not embarrassed to be fascinated by small plastic objects with absurd faces. I laugh every time I look at my dusty shelf of creatures and all of their silly expressions. Leave them alone, they’re just toys. – Kelly D. Williams

Featured above are C.I. Boys designed by Kelly D. Williams & Distrikt for Red Magic. These will probably no longer come to fruition. But do not fear, there is a limited edition Distrikt x Kelly D Williams toy coming soon. More details to follow.

Atticus and Jedidiah along with the awesome folks Punk Rock Social… are sponsoring an art show for me in LA. I’m usually way too busy trying to not miss a deadline and avoid the sun to have time to exhibit my work.

The $10 goes to pay the bands. I’m offering $5 off, on any posters/ prints to help offset the admission fee.

Google vs. Blackle

Filed Under Array

Did anyone notice Google’s dark side coming out over the weekend? Google turned the lights out as a response to the theory that a “black” website uses less energy than one containing high keys of color. For the short period of one hour (on Earth Hour), Google displayed a blacked-out image, while still offering their normal search engine service. Did it work? Well, since they only dedicated one live hour to the event, it is doubtful that a verifiable conclusion was made. Regardless, if you like it dark, you can switch to www.Blackle.com.

According to Blackle’s website, “Blackle saves energy because the screen is predominantly black. “Image displayed is primarily a function of the user’s color settings and desktop graphics, as well as the color and size of open application windows; a given monitor requires more power to display a white (or light) screen than a black (or dark) screen.” Roberson et al, 2002. In January 2007 a blog post titled ‘Black Google Would Save 750 Megawatt-hours a Year’ proposed the theory that a black version of the Google search engine would save a fair bit of energy due to the popularity of the search engine. Since then there has been skepticism about the significance of the energy savings that can be achieved and the cost in terms of readability of black web pages. We believe that there is value in the concept because even if the energy savings are small, they all add up. Secondly we feel that seeing Blackle every time we load our web browser reminds us that we need to keep taking small steps to save energy.”
