KINEXTING


To all you wealthy Santas out there, I have some good news!  The top line item on my list this year is relatively affordable (a mere hundred bucks), the Xbox Kinect.  While my recent foray into the world of 3-D printing at the Museum of Art and Design this past October only ended in disappointment, the experience inspired some creative ideaers for future projects.  My body scan somehow left me with a third arm-- an impossible fix according to the kind folks at Shapeways.  There will be no miniature naked Colbys for sale anytime soon.  But . . . Perhaps . . . I could print off my own porn instead?  Frame. By fucking Frame. (literally)

That's essentially what Spanish artist Alejandro Gomez-Arias and his girlfriend did.  Using a Kinect, Alejandro recording himself fucking his girlfriend and posted the results on Vimeo.  Just think what Colby and friends could do with a scanner and, well, a much more costly Christmas present . . . a 3-D printer? :-)

MASHED PENISTOES


Casper the Friendly Ghost's castration mashed potatoes?  

If a holiday happens somewhere in the future between Halloween and Thanksgiving, I might serve something like this to celebrate.  From the series "Saint Sébastien" by artist Marc Alberghina.



Marc's work appears in the exhibition "Body and Soul: New International Ceramics" at the Museum of Art and Design in NYC.  Here are a few of my favorites from the show:

VAGINA DENTATA


I might also suggest "Teeth" if you need a good genital-themed scare this Halloween.

COLBY'S RIDE: POWER DRILL


Whose this lil' feller?  I'm normally the power drill!

"Rapid Racer", the world's first fully functional vehicle 3-D printed in one piece, powered completely by a cordless drill by Johannes Zäuner, Barbara Kotte, and Andreas Schulz, on exhibit at "Out of Hand: Materializing the Post-digital" at the Museum of Art and Design (MAD) in NYC.

COLBY CLONED!


Let the Revolution begin!

Solely slinging Kock-lish-wackovs and Samson-esque "locks of love" my army of Nano-Colbys will soon conquer the world!!!  But first they have to dry on the shelf at MAD.  Earlier today Shapeways released a 3-D print of my digital scan in the buff.
