Like all the other cool people in the world, I have Moo MiniCards that I use as business cards. I suppose they’re not the cheapest, at about 25¢ each, but they’re so wonderful it’s worth it. Below is a scan of all the ones I’ve made so far. A few of these are out of print (I’m on my second order). Yes, it was a royal pain to arrange them all on the scanner glass. And the order is random, cause I couldn’t be bothered to work out an arrangement; funny how certain things seem to have clumped together!
Moo is very pleasant to deal with, and if your images are already up on Flickr, ordering is a breeze. The only hard part is figuring out how to crop some images into the right proportions. I had to give up on a few because they just wouldn’t look right.
(If by any chance you don’t have your own images, I recommend ordering the wonderful pre-made set by Andrea Joseph!)

The Glass Bees will be performing on Saturday and Sunday, June 12-13 as part of the FIGMENT festival of arts on Governors Island, just off the southern tip of Manhattan, and a stone’s throw from Red Hook, Brooklyn. Even if we weren’t participating, you really shouldn’t miss this one-of-a-kind explosion of creativity at one of the most spectacular locations in New York City.

Our interactive, site-specific performance “Reading Governors Island” will combine sound, images, and audience-contributed spoken word. We’ve compiled historical and contemporary texts about Governors Island and invite FIGMENT attendees to be photographed and recorded reading excerpts. Later in the day, we will present a performance mixing the voices and faces we’ve collected with other sounds and images from around the island. This project is an exploration of the location and the context of FIGMENT, bringing past and present, environment and human intervention, and performers and audience into play.
We will begin recording participants’ voices at 10:00 AM and perform our installation at about 3:00 PM each day. Come early, let us record you, enjoy the festival, and then come back later on to hear what we’ve come up with.
We should also add that if you’re a parent, FIGMENT is a great way to experience lots of art in a setting that young children can totally enjoy!
Maps of the festival will be available at the event. We’ll be set up between Building 555 and the harbor, near the intersection of Craig and Clayton. Please note this is a different location from what was originally announced.
You can reach Governors Island via ferry from the Battery Maritime Building (located just east of the Staten Island Ferry in Manhattan) or Fulton Ferry Landing in Brooklyn. Here’s full directions. And check out all the other interesting exhibits and activities on the Island.
We hope to see you there!

We’ll be performing with Ranjit Bhatnagar on his handmade instruments along with other instruments (mostly made in factories in China or Japan) at the opening of the ScrapCycle show at Devotion Gallery In Williamsburg.
This performance will be more open-ended and expansive than our March performance which was dedicated to demonstrating some of these instruments.
Bora Yoon and Tom Vanderwall will also be performing.
The opening opens at 7:00 p.m. on May 7th at Devotion Gallery, located at 54 Maujer Street, Brooklyn, NY, 11206. The price of admission is a used water bottle, which they may be using for some project or perhaps to serve you the complementary refreshments.
ScrapCycle places an exchange-value on upcycled and reused materials, in order to probe the environmental effects of economic perspective. By presenting concrete implementations of reuse and recombination, ScrapCycle(reUSE/reCOMBINE) serves to liken the small pervasive effects of social sculpture, environmental activism, and economic perspective to a fine-tuning of interdependent parameters with global results. ScrapCycle(reUSE/reCOMBINE) references complexity science as it relates to political economy, ecology, and methods of reuse and recombination (i.e., small-world networks, social systems theory, ecological systems theory, evolutionary computation, genetic algorithms, neural networking).

They look fantastic!! I just ordered some myself—-so inspired by yours. Congratulations on your great month of daily drawing and painting. I got waylaid from my daily visits to your blog toward the end of the month. I’m going back to look at the last ones now.

fanks, Andrea!

Sweet! Those are really beautiful.
I’ve gone through two sets of mine so far. [http://flatbushgardener.blogspot.com/2007/05/bling-minicards.html] I found the horizontal images work best.
25 cents a pop adds up quick, so I haven’t made up a third set.

Thanks for liking, Xris! I like how yours were color-themed to make a rainbow of sorts.
