glowing hair

The pieces are finally starting to come together for our Glow installation, "Soft Underbelly". We've been working on this for 6 months now... only one more day left. We made a last minute decision to paint all of the hairs with UV glow in the dark paint and I think it was well worth the effort.




We're almost there! Glow is this Saturday

I've been hard at work lately working on our installation for Glow 2010 in Santa Monica this coming Saturday.  It's been an intense past week weeks and I haven't had the time to update this blog with our progress. This morning Joshua Howell and Aaron Zeligs were quoted in an Los Angeles Times article about Glow. Here is the link: Glow 2010 
Also please check out our new website for more project images, plus some other projects we've got in office. Popup Design
If you are in LA this weekend, come by and check out the event! I'm sure it will be a bit crazy, but there are some cool projects.

Coke Zero + Mentos rocket car

This video shows a special trike that is "rocket propelled" using nothing but Coke Zero and a few Mentos. Kind of the same idea as the baking soda and vinegar volcanoes that I would make as a kid, but of course significantly more awesome. They did a great job on the film too.

new popup website launched

The PopUp website has been offline for several months, since closing down the food business aspect last year. PopUp was intended as a design based company since the beginning, but I just never found the time to get it up and running.  Well, the wait is over... we have new partners, a new business plan and we hope to go public with everything very soon! In the meantime, I have put up a new PopUp website, which will feature our collective design work, a blog and some research projects.
