Today in 1907 architect and designer Charles Eames was born. He and his wife Ray had a dramatic influence on design and their aesthetic technique is still celebrated today. The unique shape of their “potato chip” chair seen here depended on new molding techniques that the Eameses developed during World War II for producing plywood splints for wounded soldiers. This chair and many other Eames designs are in our cooperhewitt.

The Smithsonian has a long history working with the Eameses, partnering with them in the designs of exhibitions and even in creating our first film unit. Our Museum of American History details that history on their blog.

Aaaaand we’re back! I missed you guys!
Triumphant ninetales is excited that I am painting pokemon again :D

Guuuyyys! I painted again :D 
Long dry spell…not sure how ‘over’ it is, but this felt great. I started this new job with EA and life got (pleasantly!) busy…but honestly I think I was mostly afraid to draw poorly. The skethbook just freaked me out with it’s silent judgement, and I stopped painting for a while because you know…what if it wasn’t perfect? BUT SCREW THAT I love painting :D
