Mundo Neón

Sweet neon world by Bon Yurt.

Light Graffiti

Jane Parviainen is a Finnish artist who specializes in light painting, the art of prolonged-exposure photography. Basically the shutter of the camera stays open for much longer than a regular photo in order to capture movement (in this case, a light source) intended to create specific shapes. I remember it being very difficult to create a light-car around a friend. Hence, why these are so impressive. The neon colors don't hurt, either. Dope!

Tron Legacy Premiere - A Light Session by ENESS - the continuation of the TRON: LEGACY post from a couple days ago. Created for the premiere of the movie. Genius!

Ivan Navarro - this one was sweet because the neon letters were only half-letters that reflected off the different sections of the drum kit to become whole words.

I'd also like to point out that there was some Antony Gormley (the guy who created the series of statues on the rooftops around Madison Square Park in NYC) as well as some Larry Clark (the guy who photographs teens and their sexuality).

ZSO x Sara Blake

Check out these incredible paintings by ZSO - and that's not all ! there are plenty more HERE. There's a very pleasant balance between the realism of the portraits and the effects created by the colors and imaginative add-ons such as paint drips and notes of neon lights. Very cool!





Song of the day: Rihanna - Te Amo

Disco Chair!

The Disco Chair is the brain child of London's own Kiwi & Pom and can be set at both continuous and strobe light settings. I don't think there's much to say regarding the awesomeness of this piece. Turn on the bright furniture, play a little Haddaway and dance the night away. Sweet!




Song of the day: Haddaway - What is Love

Le Printemps

A sneak peak into the near-future visuals being created for Le Printemps Haussmann in Paris.

PINK! It's my favorite color - not because it's girly but because I think it's easy on the eyes and happy on the the heart! Corny!

No, really though... the color makes me happy, and so do the neon lights and designer names. I'm excited to see what this will all turn out to be!

Neon Lights

Framed neon by Porenstein.

Neon lights are very bright. They are also very pliable and can be molded into any shape (such as the magnificent neon pink flamingo above) and any letter (even the @ sign - which, interestingly enough, does not have a grammatically correct correspondent word; it's just called the "at sign" (although some have tried - and failed - to make "asperand" or "monkey tail" the general consensus)). I plan on having a couple in my home but have yet to decide in what shape. If you decided to go for lettering or - even more daring - wording, you must choose the right letters and/or words - so many give off the wrong impression. For example, if you put up your own initials, plug them in and light them up, you are a conceited imbecile. If you wire in the word "Love" or "Peace", you become the fake hippie i.e. hipster who thinks this is the "cool" way to show that they care about the world. ish. Either way, I like them and I plan on finding the perfect technique to both not looking like a pretentious idiot and having some sweet lighting fixtures.

Some plain, long neon bulbs standing in the corner at my brother's apartment in Paris. Tres cool.

Sweet fixtures.
