Manzorz...


So yeah, It's getting closer and closer to Roctober. It's getting crazier and crazier in the house. Sadly, (so very sadly) we are losing our EPIC houseguest Baci(who I nicknamed the Goblin and Leia nicknamed Batman) the cat to a more permanent and capable pet owner, but he was an awesome guest who made sure we were made aware of his digestive abilities, and that we were warm and furry every night.
The library has been stripped of books, the garage sale has come and gone. now comes the exciting demolition, construction, and painting phase of the creation of the babeh room and Leia's new office space in the house. plus I will finally be getting bookshelves in my computer area, which will make for nice easy reference and probably a lot less exercise running up and down the stairs. yay!

Other news of interest;

The biennial is being de-installed this weekend. thanks to everyone who checked it out and for all the nice things everyone said! I enjoyed the experience thoroughly, and everyone at the museum rocked their socks making it a good atmosphere and an educational experience. Many thanks go out to the Installation crew for all their patience and late nights, Quala Lynn for the education, and walk/talks, and of course Inger for curating. Thanks to the other artists for being bad ass and interesting too!

I may be doing a show of my skateboard decks at the end of the year. It's still in discussion phase, but I am stoked!
I dunno what else is going on.
I started a group in flickr.com for homeless robots! Yay!
and ummm oh...yeah Facebook. BLEAH.

Welcome to my stuff.






By now you might have guessed that I'm Cade Roster. Good. moving on, here's what's up with my junk.
I recently participated in the 2008 Biennial at the Contemporary Museum in Honolulu. Pretty fun. Do I have pics? yeah I have a few. One of the pieces I built for the show was a series of characters based off of a single mold. Not unlike the Munny/Dunny figures. I used a basic form with an anthropomorphic edge to it, for heightened cuteness. (Fig 1) I then took the basic form, made a silicon mold, and cast the form in several different materials including plastic(Fig 2) and resin.(Fig 3) I also pressed paper clay in there to see if it would work. Awesomely, it did.(Fig 4) These images are a few of the series that I did. I also made a larger scale installation piece based on characters that have been lurking in my head since about 2000a.d.(Fig 5)
So yeah, that was the art thats been on display so far this year. You can also check my flickr page for more pictures of my work. It might be easier than re-cataloguing everything here hehhe. If you click on the "picha picha" section on this page, it will take you to my photostream. Awfully damn convenient, no?
for more information regarding the Biennial you can always take a peek at the museum.
anyways, I will be posting more adventures as soon as I have them.
