Rooftops + Sidewalks show at My Plastic Heart
August 6th, 2016 by Mr. C
Boundless Brooklyn started as a company that had an idea to create a DIY water tower model kit that would be fast and easy to assemble in 10-15 minutes. These model kits come complete with everything you need — no scissors or extra glue are needed. All of their products are made in the U.S.A. from chipboard, a 100% recycled material. The fun comes in when you customize the kits with paint, markers, acrylics, oils, water colors, & maybe other creative ways that I can’t think of now! The water tower model kits did so well that other “canvas” kits were created such as mailboxes, billboards, half pipes, lifeguard towers, & lighthouses.
With that background, a group of 25+ leading and upcoming illustrators customized Boundless Brooklyn water towers and mailboxes for a show curated by Leo Espinosa called ROOFTOPS + SIDEWALKS on display at My Plastic Heart, a designer toy store located on Forsyth Street in the lower east side of Manhattan. All works at the Rooftops and Sidewalks exhibit are for sale! I stopped by today to check out these creations! All of the water towers & mailboxes had amazing designs,eye-popping colors, & crazy detail on them! I can’t wait to start my own water tower creation soon!
The Rooftops + Sidewalks show runs from August 5th – September 2 at MyPlasticHeart.
