many unofficial LEGO gadgets have been on the market for some time now, but next month will see LEGO themselves release a digital camera and MP3 player developed together with digital blue.

LEGO worked with the atlanta-based company who specialize in children’s tech-products for a range of gadgets that includes walkie talkies, boomboxes, alarm clocks as well.

the vessel

the vessel angelo tabije

i like this a lot. carlo’s brother, angelo, did this and it’s currently on exhibit at the kaida gallery in timog quezon city. dubbed the vessel, the painting depicts probably the last virgin in this fictional technoethnic tribe from daangbakal. or at least that’s what we call it  🙂  we’re thrilled angelo is getting the attention now with this current series. a few months ago 3 of his works were sent to singapore for a show and were sold out on the first day.  below is his painting he sent to the metrobank art competition where it was judged finalist.  hopefully next year he’ll bag the grand prize. then maybe he can work on a 1-man show. the future is bright with him  🙂
