Language casts a shadow in Stephen Doyle’s paper sculptures Stephen Doyle’s vision unites words and images in unforgettable ways. The design firm of which he is a principal, Doyle Partners in New York, creates acclaimed identities and all means of conveying them (and he always gets the colors right). He’s also recognized for his visual contributions to the Op-Ed page of The New York Times. Q What motivates you to do this work? I make these things as an escape from the world of problem-solving. Q How did you start doing this work? I studied painting, sculpture and design at Cooper Union. The idea was to make fun of hypertext on a computer — how a line will lead from here to there, thereby changing the context of every other line. Q Is this purely personal work, or is some of it done on assignment? Sometimes it’s commissioned, which is ironic, because as I said, I want to ask questions instead of being expected to provide answers. Q Why work with paper and books? Books are where ideas come from. Q Many of the pieces look fragile.

Shock Collars for Dogs | Training Collars & Reviews | K9electronics Tom Sepe's Steampunk Motorbike An Interview By Meredith Scheff Wandering through the industrial neighborhood of West Oakland, You'll find more than a few warehouse art studios, each one filled to the brim with all manner of projects; from giant robots to huge metal art - and of course steam machines. A few days ago, I was fortunate enough to be invited into the studio of one of the artists that reside there; a fine chap by the name of Tom Sepe. After sending out a call for willing subjects (aka, interview-ees), Tom contacted me and, with but a few words, lured me into his studio. Those words were simply: "Want to come see my electric-steam hybrid motorcycle?". What self-respecting grease monkey could possibly refuse? SteampunkWorkshop: Whoa! Tom Sepe: The frame is 1967 Tote-Gote, so it was one of the first off road motorcycles. TS: I had a small motor lying around my warehouse, and I tossed that in. TS: But I had to stretch the frame to fit the batteries and still have room for my backpack. About the Author:
