Kong Rings in the New Year
Happy 2011, everyone! 2010 has been a great year for Mosaic Geek – from “going official” and becoming an LLC to having our first show at the Detroit Urban Craft Fair in December, and many other fun things in between. I’ve had a blast breaking, gluing, and grouting, and Will has done a bang-up job [...]
Adventures in Artland
I’ve been marathoning this giant mosaic commission for a couple months now, and it’s starting to take its physical toll. I swear there are days I forget how old I actually am (not in a good way). For me, pain often begets mishap — and both, as it turns out, beget lo-fi comics. Really, when [...]

Helping Put the "Geek" in Mosaic Geek
Greetings! I can proudly say that I am the first person ever to own a geek mosaic from my beautiful and talented fiancee Shannon. As she has continued making mosaics it became clear that I was not the only person geeky enough to appreciate them. The people, the geeks of the world have demanded that [...]
Mosaic Geek | Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony
Hello, and welcome to MosaicGeek.com! Today, June 26 2009, marks the official launch of the site – it’s a work in progress, so please bear with us as we get things up and running. Right now I’m working hard on creating enough mosaics to stock the gallery – and (hopefully soon) Etsy storefront! Soon enough, [...]
