John T Unger Studio: Art + Code

Hi There! If this is your first visit to the blog, there's a few things you might like to know. First off, there's a lot more here than you see on the front page. You can access different areas of the site by selecting from the drop down menu above or the Art by Category menu on your left.

I'm currently best know as an artist and designer, but I also get a fair amount of press these days for my ideas on business, marketing, technology and more. I also do custom code and consulting on a project basis or a la carte. If you're looking for info on how to get the most out of Typepad, you might want to take a swing by my other blog, TypePad Hacks.

On the way to a successful art career I've been a poet and writer, a tech geek, a print and web designer, illustrator, industrial designer, musician, teacher, actor, set designer and even a paid guru once. Now and then I still get to play some of those roles. Relaxing makes me tense, so I tend to put in a lot of hours on diverse projects.

It's all the same thing in the end— I wake up most days thinking about how I want to change, fix or improve some aspect of the world. And after a couple cups of coffee I get started on it. My specialty is impossibility remediation: if it can't be done, I'm on it.

Much of my work is done on a commission basis— If you see something in the portfolio that is almost, or kinda sorta what you're looking for, drop me a line. Chances are I can make exactly what you're looking for. I view custom work as an exciting collaborative process. For you, it's an opportunity to participate directly in the creation of a work of art. For me it's a chance to explore new ideas or techniques that may not otherwise have presented themselves.

Hey John,
I'm liking the firebowls. Kinda cool to see them in the space.
(just to jog the memory, I'm the jewelry girl from East Jordan show and the nursery at Pine Hill)
I'm not there anymore (been 5 years now), but I just decided to quit the day job and do the art thing full time.
I have a few shows lined up already but was interested in the Alden show.
Hooked up to your site when I googled it, so I'm on the need to know.
Do you know who I should contact?
Let me know. Thx, Laura
