Birthday Wishes
This year Lucas had but one wish for his birthday – spray painting. We decided to prime some plywood, get paint and let him go to town. These were his very first attempts and everyone got in on the action.
Stitch-tuation
It’s that time of the year again when creative minds cannot be satisfied with off-the-shelf halloween solutions and custom creations are in order. What are our passions this year? None other than Pokemon and Rocky Balboa. Here is what we came up with.
Metal Crane
As you know by now we are bird fanatics and the Crane is one of those amazing creatures that we love to draw and represent in our art. We also love tools and to make things to surround ourselves with and thus was worn our Metal Crane, Siberian Crane to be exact. This is how we made this sculpture.
Mini Frames
We love documenting the small drawing gestures created throughout the weeks and it gave us an idea… what if we created mini frames to display our work? What if they were simple to make, easy to display and made of everyday materials? We started brainstorming and came up with a couple of ideas but this is how the bottle caps and resin became our latest obsession.Read More
Production Line
We have been working hard since September to be able to get a lot of our art print-ready in order to produce holiday gifts for many of the people that we know, appreciate, love, and work with.Read More
Tiles for Miles
One of the things we like to do is to experiment with new materials. Painting on tiles can be a bit crude because we used the bottle as our application tool, but it allowed us to synthesize our ideas and to execute singular concepts for each piece. Everyone created tiles as gifts for our loved ones.Read More
Land Sharks
We were lucky enough to take a trip to Cape Cod during the summer and much of the trip focused on water activities and looking for sharks. This studio is always on the lookout for real-life opportunities to connect with our inspirations. We all like animals but Lucas LOVES sharks. We visited the Chatham Fish Pier where the inspiration to memorialize the dogfish shark emerged (the concept of killing the little dogfish made quite an impression), we also saw seals which according to Alex are an example of endangered species making a comeback (very exciting news) and we also visited Lighthouse beach which is closed to swimmers due to the presence of sharks.
Pop Culture
While most of the work that BLAMM produces is inspired by nature, love and history sometimes the inspiration comes from pop culture. We enjoy seeing artistic interpretations of popular characters come to life.Read More
Custom Costumes
We have always considered ourselves lucky to have an open line of communication with our kids and no time of the year is that line wider open than during the weeks which precede halloween.Read More
Wood Experiments
Sometimes the subject matter brings us together and sometimes it’s the tools and materials. The moment that our artists heard the humming of the Dremel tool they signed up for the challenge. First they drew their ideas onto wood followed by sanding/etching and completed with a layer of watercolor paint.Read More
Wearable Art
One of the things we have always enjoyed is coming up ways of surrounding ourselves with art. The youngest members of our studio love to make wearable art for themselves and for their family. T-shirts are always on the list and while the process can be time-consuming and messy they get better and better in terms of thinking through what they want to say before they start.

Point of View
Clearly everyone sees the world differently, Alex has always seen the world in a different way. From the day he was born he would point this out to us. When a song would break from a pattern he would say it was “crooked” and he has been able to always express what he sees through his eyes.Read More
