From Elsewhere 06/05/09Frank Lloyd Wright Legos permalinkAfter decades of training young builders and designers, it’s only natural that Lego should start offering kits of famous buildings.

With more than 20 items ranging from vinyl pants to tapered jeans and brocade jackets, each piece was worn by Kim Gordon and comes with an autographed tag, complete with description of when and where the item was worn. All of the proceeds will benefit Community Resources for People with Autism, a charity of Gordon’s choice.

Send them here. |

From Elsewhere 05/22/09Tiny Art Director permalinkWhen a parent scathingly critiques their child’s art, it’s mean. But when Bill Zeman’s daughter (age 4) scathingly critiques his art, it makes for a hilarious blog. For example, of the above monkey drawing, which was done at her request, she said “Stupid ugly angry monkey. I hate him.” Chronicle will publish a book of Zeman’s collaborations with the Tiny Art Director next spring, and she’ll probably have rejected a lot more of his work by then.
