		<title>really heavy coffee&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
jonathan thought that making a coffee cup out of bronze was a much better idea than a cassette tape. i disagreed, but made him a coffee cup anyway and surprised him for christmas.
this is a starbucks cup cast in bronze. it weighs around 15 pounds.

		<title>{circa 1983}&#8230;.via 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[



a bronze cassette tape.
once temporal&#8230;.now permanent.
this was created by carving a cassette tape into a block of plaster, then creating a sand mold, and finally casting it in none other than bronze at the generous hank kaminsky&#8217;s foundry. exciting.
-fantastic 2010 to you!-
