Tips for buying materials

Courtesy of Jenny in Honours:
... On Trademe....Art Shed (I heard people talking about this seller) selling a whole lot of their stock because their store was damaged in the quake. The sales said that their store was damaged and they are now trying to move and sell a whole lot of stock immediately. All their items are in perfect condition and are pretty inexpensive looking and you can go and pick up your purchases in ChCh. There are mostly painting supplies on the sales, a lot of pre-made canvases and such, but I did get a sketchbook and pencils and such for under $10 each. 

Awesome origami and papercraft

Shinya Kimura - motorcycle scultor

I like the finish of these bikes. The beauty is in the hand formed metals and their patinas. Of course, they are kinetic and audio works too. Check out his 'not motorcycle' works too, they're a synopsis of his aesthetic.
