A tetradecahedron is a 14-sided polyhedron, sometimes called a tetrakaidecahedron, we can extrude it to build a snowflake.

In the style of this Disney app I decided to make a "color script" for Danny Boyle's scifi thriller Sunshine. This is a single wide, thin image where each vertical stripe represented one frame of the film, start to finish.

I was at Coachella this year, it was an amazing time! Aside from the music - Lana Del Rey was a goddess, Outkast reunited, and new groups like Chvrches, Haim, Chromeo, etc... there were some mind-blowing exhibits.

René François Ghislain Magritte was a Belgian surrealist artist. He became well known for a number of witty and thought-provoking images.

This holiday season the gift arena was dominated by merchandise from the new Star Wars movie, and I was given an adorable BB-8 robot by Alex :)  Well a great place to look for nifty Star Wars themed art and other designer vetted products is one of my favorite stores: Touch of Modern. I was looking though TOMO last night - they maintain a unique inventory of discounted artistic sci-fi renderings and prints like these:

I spent 10 amazing days in Iceland during July with Alex. We saw the midnight sun, explored an extinct volcano, crawled though ice crystal caves, and vacationed at the best hotel in the country - the Ion Luxury Adventure Hotel, as reviewed in the NYT and featured in the Design Hotels Book. I for one thrive on unique experiences and the interior designs of the world's most inspiring hotels.

I started following a photographer named Seph on Instagram a few years ago. I found his battered American landscapes grim yet beautifully surreal.

George Hart creates exquisite crystalline objects with 3d printers, here's one of his unique stereolithography models. I imported and discretized his prototype into a 3D simplicial complex…

I came across some brilliant digital paintings of alien land/star-scapes on deviant art.

A tribute to some of my favorite photographic artists: @ajbaker50, @dariszcahyadi, @mattfrench.

Tree maps are a great ways to view breakdowns, and are used to great effect in many sweet applications such as Stocktouch (on right). However I've never seen a tree map that does labeling of groups very well, everything typically uses nasty overlays. 

In academia, your father is your dissertation advisor and his other graduate students are your siblings. The Mathematics Genealogy Project keeps track of all this data like an ancestry.com for math phd's.

California-based artist Tim Hawkinson was born in 1960 and earned his MFA at the University of California, Los Angeles in 1989. Hawkinson is renowned for creating complex sculptural systems through surprisingly simple means. 

I attended the Cochella Valley Music and Arts Festival with my dear friend Nataliya from grad school. Inside the Spotify tent there was a booth that would take your photo and then built a photo-mosaic of your Facebook profile picture using your favorite album covers as the tiles.

Inspired by my new favorite site thetypefight.com, designed a mathematically inspired font (just for fun) called Re-cursive.

Eleven new canvas prints are up for display and sale. If you're not in the area, you can purchase prints on my site, they're all on sale.

The earliest example of computer-generated text art was created by H. Philip Peterson in 1964. He used a CDC 3200 computer and a “flying-spot” scanner to create a digital representation of the Mona Lisa. The image contained over 100,000 pixels that were plotted using numerals, sometimes overprinted, to approximate the required density and took 14 hours to complete. 

An emotional conjurer. His use of strings isn't even fair!  The ambient/electronic tracks from icelandic multi-instrumentalist Ólafur Arnalds use strings and piano with loops to wondrous effect. Some of his melancholy ensembles have been used in film scoring and his wintery soundscapes can manifest the arctic beauty of his homeland. I use Ólafur's songs to fall asleep.

A massage for your brain - a cinemagraph is a product of still photo with minor elements moving on.
