Untapped Column: Art of Invention

 

In The “Art of Invention, ” sculptor Daniel A. Henderson explores the viral allure of technology and its unintended consequences. Henderson, an inventor who developed the wireless picturephone and holds 26 U.S. patents, believes that invention like sculpture, is an artistic endeavor. Through his work, Henderson shows us how the permanence of iconic products–from View-Masters to Princess phones–sculpted in stone represents the connection with the natural world and contrasts with the temporality of technology and the materials in which they are constructed.  For the full column click here.

Velocity Raptor!!!

Yesterday was Dinosaur Day!  "For those of you new to the holiday, this will be it's 4th year. The concept is as basic as the name: Draw A Dinosaur! Sketch, doodle, use your computer, however you want! Then nab a picture of it, and upload it to the website. Put it in the flickr group, blog/lj it, tweet it out, put it here, there, everywhere. It's all about the fun of drawing a dinosaur. And who doesn't enjoy that?"

I drew this "Velocity" Raptor back in college, 2004... I was in physics with ellen, and we were joking about something (and obviously not paying attention) and velocity raptor was born.  Probably one of the only dinosaurs I ever drew!
