Hi all
it's been a long while since i put something up here. First up, a little updating. Missotten&Frances is finally official. We do just about anything design based. Plus! We've got a little section selling some excellent stuff, so check us out at:

http://www.facebook.com/MissottenFrances

**All fans of Missotten&Frances receive a 10% discount off their purchase with the code, 'LikeM&F'** So hurry!

Holga got taken apart and put back together again.



Once upon a time, there lived a pretty red holga camera. That got taken apart because it was sick. It got put back together again like humpty dumpty did. His genius master made him into an invincible robot and programmed him to say, " I'll be back Bi*tches".


**Prints are available in custom colors as well. Email for prices.** Thanks for viewing!!

Lichtheid

These are pictures of a paper sculpture I made. The assignment was to visualize a word in 3D form. The choice of paper as material made the assignment at the first glance, hard because paper is such a fine material. But with such a neutral material as paper, it becomes such a malleable communicative middle.

The production of the sculpture was hours of bent over neck breaking precision work and replication after replication for the right curves and folds. I'm proud to show off the final pictures of the sculpture representing 'Lichtheid' (lightness).




The concept behind the sculpture is based on the movement of air.

Cheers all!
