Lott3Metz Architecture Site
MOCHIMAD was pleased to complete development on a new web site for Lott3Metz Architecture this week.
Developing from a design provided by Martin Cimek, we converted the look into a custom WordPress theme, enabling Lott3Metz to exploit the extremely adaptable WordPress platform. Though widely known by bloggers and blog readers around the world as a blog platform, we embedded WordPress’ Content Management System into a dynamic site without a typical blog appearance.
The full launch will be announced soon.

Between doing web sites for various firms and setting up presentations at Ford, we make stuff. Most recently, we produced several pieces in the weeks leading up to the holidays. This one makes us feel weird and happy. We like it.
MOCHIMAD made CNN with La Grande Bebe
On September 15, Sue Lott and Matthew Richards of MOCHIMAD traveled to Grand Rapids, Michigan to join a team of artists supporting Jonathan Haner and Teresa Holmberg in Haner’s entry for the world’s largest art competition, the Grand Rapids ArtPrize. The team built the world’s largest doll, La Grand Bébé—a 72-foot tall soft sculpture made of industrial plastic tarp and polystyrene foam. Sue Lott provided project management while Holmberg, still in Sweden, watched the project’s progress via Internet. Holmberg flew in for the final day of the build to stay through opening day at ArtPrize.
Thanks to Grand Rapids native, Jen Walsh, news media leader CNN took great interest and broadcasted ongoing reports on the big baby’s progress. Matthew Richards’ and Sue Lott’s photography was emailed to Holmberg as the events unfolded and published with each CNN report.
The Grand Rapids ArtPrize awards a grand prize of $250,000 and the winner is decided by popular vote. The city-wide competition is the first of its kind and runs from September 23 to October 10. We’ll be posting more as ArtPrize continues to catch the world’s attention.

The Craigslist Stimulus Plan
Craigslist can really be a circus of laughs when scanning job postings in the Art/Design/Media section. You will find scads of potential employers looking for complicated work that takes dozens upon dozens of hours to complete, for 8 bucks and hour or a whopping flat rate of $150. The temptation for me is to laugh and point, but what the H is really going on when business people completely fail to understand that goods and services cost money? Have they not paid vendors for supplies, attorneys for contracts or CPAs for tax filings? Don’t said business people want others to pay them for their goods and services?
My initial urge to howl at those unbelievable postings is always overtaken by offense. Did professionals like myself go to college and spend years cutting our teeth in the industry to be offered what wouldn’t cover the cost of a transit pass in most big cities? Judging from the responses peppered throughout the job listings, people like me are NOT laughing. The screenshot I’ve embedded here is the most gentle response to the lowball job posters I’ve EVER seen on Craigslist.
Honestly, Craigslist job posters, stimulate the economy by paying what goods and services actually cost.
Luder Album Cover Design
Sonoluminescence, the upcoming new album by Luder, is slated for release early this fall. We had the pleasure of providing the concept, the photography and the graphic design.
Best of Detroit
Real Detroit Weekly’s ‘Best of Detroit’ issue has hit the stands, featuring beautiful cover art by our friend Kevin O’Rourke.
Real Detroit Weekly also named him ‘Best Cover Artist‘ in recognition for the work he’s done since living in Detroit.
Check out our shot of Kevin used for the feature in print and on the interweb.
Our previous post shows more pictures from that portrait session.
