nooka sightings: sami-T (mighty crown)

i have to be honest with you, i never heard of this reggae artist, but i'm not a reggae fan. that said, the BKc nooka collabo is geting some serious airtime in this video! thanks sami-T for being a fan. you can learn more about mighty crown here. the model he is wearing is sold-out on our site but you may be able to find one in japan or the brooklyn circus shops still. other models available here. thanks to my friend yukinori for sending me the link to this!

shout-out from paola antonelli of MoMA

this really made me feel good. from an interview with paola antonelli, curator of the museum of modern art in nyc, in the luxury issue of metropolis magazine on newsstands now:

"Favorite tchotchke: I have one of Matthew Waldman’s fairies. It is so cute. It looks over me. My office is full with things that have their own characters, so it’s like a little city. But the fairy is particularly dominant in the city."

buy the issue of read full interview online here. it really reminds/inspires me to pick up my fairy labor union art project again [nooka eats all my time, but is equally satisfying, so not complaining].  photo inset is of the fairy on my desk, paola's is a pure white version.

nooka is available at fine stores and here. remember, you get a free copy of deastro's keepers with every online watch order on this link while supplies last!

objectified

last month i caught up on some documentaries i missed in the theater by seeing gary hustwit's "helvetica" on PBS and verymuchso's production, "crossing the line" on the sundance channel. helvetica explores the development and impact of a typeface and crossing the line tells the story of american defectors' lives in north korea – both incredibly thorough, educational, and surprisingly engrossing!

as many things in my life tend to seem magical, not 1 week after seeing helvetica, my friend sam valenti tells me, "i think you should meet my friend gary hustwit, you guys would really get along well"! as it happens, gary is finishing up his next film, "objectified" and needed to shoot objects in-situ at people's apartments to create the interstitials for that. it's unfortunate that i wasn't introduced earlier to perhaps be considered for the main part of the film, but i'd be such a minor player next to people like jonathan ive! that said, i have so much stuff in both my apartment and office – having a famous documentary film maker photograph it helps justify keeping these dust collectors in my life – and i was told that i definitely had the most "junk" of any apartment he's been to! needless to say, it was a pleasure to meet gary this past saturday, and hopefully be a small part in what will surely be an amazing film!
