The Bright Bike is a retroreflective vinyl wrapped bicycle.  We used Scotchlight 680 vinyl.  When the bicycle is in the beam of a light (like a car's headlight, or a camera's flash,) it reflects back super bright.  When it is not in the light, it is just jet black.  Ideally, it will aid in nighttime bicycle safety.

The Takeovers and Makeovers conference was a hit.  I had a superb time speaking with Fred Von Lohmann and Jason Schultz. I made everyone laugh, and swore more than Tom McDonough, which is apparently no small feat.

On November 7 & 8, 2008, the University of California, Berkeley will hold a symposium on appropriation rights in the digital era entitled:

Takeovers & Makeovers: Artistic Appropriation, Fair Use, and Copyright in the Digital Age.

Oil Standard is included in the upcoming show  “Ours: Democracy in the Age of Branding"

Patrick Davison and I went to Ethan Benton's studio last week.  We talked about bikes, looked at fabric, made plans to do some retroreflective powdercoating tests, and he gave me two little scraps of 3M Scotchlite Removable Graphic Film with Comply.  This is the material he is using to make the ELVS co-branded Velocity deep-V's.

I just published a new Instructable: Laser Cut Stencil Letters

Though my site AfterSherrieLevine.com is the number one hit, I am not Sherrie Levine. I am fairly regularly asked for reproduction permissions and interview requests as if I was her, or was her agent or something.

I'm at Banff for the BNMI's annual Interactive Screen. It's official, I finally have a card that proves I'm an ARTIST!
