Check out the link and if you can help me spread the word I would really appreciate it.
Go check this out, really cool artwork and poetry from Justine when she was back in her 20s.
Tech Tonic: This week I visited the new MOMA exhibit, ”Talk to Me” which explores how objects communicate with people.
Look who got a mention on Jim Power, aka ‘Mosaic Man’s’ latest pole-in-progress at 2nd Ave and St. Mark’s Place?!?
Thanks, Jim!!!
FYI, Jim now has a new blog on Tumblr, he’s on Facebook, and Twitter, too, @MosaicManNYC.

Killer post from Fred about the great DIY times we live in that allow artists like Molly Crabapple and Amanda Hocking to reach their fans directly, and make money, thanks to things like Kickstarter and Amazon self-publishing. Fred does a good survey (read it now if you don’t know Molly’s and Amanda’s amazing stories), then says:
What’s all this add up to? Well, to me it means get out of your own way. In the world we’re living in, if you don’t get something made and in front of an audience there’s finally no one else to blame but the person in the mirror. If you’re talented, don’t wait for someone else to tell you so. Go out there, find your own audience. They’ll tell you what they think, and after all, aren’t they more important than Viacom, or DC Comics, or Random House? You’ll have satisfaction in doing what you think is right, and if you hit the bull’s eye you’ll make some money too.
Fred would know. [Full post]
