I wrote an article for this months issue of MAKE Magazine (http://www.makezine.com/) about folk artist Martin Sanchez and the environment he created out of found objects (including a beer-bottle chapel) and I’m going to be featuring some of those photos with commentary this Thursday 4/10 at See Sound Lounge on 1st and Blanchard in Belltown at 6pm.
Pecha Kucha Night was conceived in 2003 as a place for designers, architects and artists to meet, network, and show their work in public, and it has spread virally to over 100 cities across the world.
Give a mic to an architect or an artist and you may be trapped for hours. The key to Pecha Kucha Night is its patented system for avoiding this fate. Each presenter is allowed 20 images, each shown for 20 seconds each - giving 6 minutes 40 seconds of fame before the next presenter is up. This keeps presentations concise, the interest level up, and gives more people the chance to show.
Pecha Kucha (which is Japanese for the sound of conversation) has tapped into a demand for a forum in which creative work can be easily and informally shown, without having to rent a gallery or chat up a magazine editor.

Artists and presenters for the evening are Marlow Harris, Alex Steffen, Cameron Hall, Sage Saskill, Elizabeth Buschmann, Karen Lorene, Jesse Harris, Dawn Clark, Ross Leventhal and Michael Franz Horner

Jamba’s unique breakfast menu offers nutritionally balanced yogurt blends, organic granola blends, all-natural baked goods, and freshly squeezed juices and juicies which will help put the GOOD in your morning.

The theme of the Seattle Times Peeps contest was “Newsmakers” and this year’s competition proves that scandal and marshmallow Peeps go together like Easter and bunnies. View Britney Speeps. Amy Winepeep. Larry Craig Peep and more on the Seattle Times website.
Obama was a favorite with this depiction by Seattle artist Mike Leavitt.
Click HERE to view a slide show of 22 winners.
Another favorite is The Jesus of Peeps (JoP), created by SeattleTwist contributor and artist Janet Galore, is 4.5 ft tall x 3.5 ft wide, from 6 colors of Peeps. What a lovely way to commemorate the death and resurrection of Christ.
