olook, Eric on TV again
http://www.ctv.ca/CTVNews/CanadaAM/20100825/rubiks-cube-art-100825/

I saw the video about cubeworks. I'm glad they finally realized it isn't just Eric, and Sarah is part of the team too.
We both do the work equally, but ofc the news reporters wanted him to be the star since he's had speedcubing national records and his 11/11 multi was shown on Oprah's show. The graphic designer wasn't even mentioned at all, and he's the one who pixelates images to put together the maps that we follow to construct the images. We don't really mind that Eric is getting all this attention and not us, as long as the company is mentioned somehow (it's free advertisement.) :p
Disclaimer: I built the Mick Jagger Piece and the Clint Eastwood piece that they were referring to in the above link.

But your one of (if not the) top female cuber. Doesn't that count for anything?

Also, Waste Management had a rubik's cube commercial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gpX_FNQxoQ

I saw the CTV clip last night. I wouldn't be surprised if some little kids try getting into cubing hoping to work for you guys XD

I never realized how many portraits you guys actually make. Out of curiosity, how long does it take on average per portrait?

How 'bout making some pieces with an image on both sides?

Makes the setting up of the cubes a bit more difficult but still fully doable (provided the pixel guy makes sure all scrambles are possible)

"That's why I couldn't do it! I didn't have a loose cube!"

Yup, that makes sense. Makes me wondered what kind of crazy stuff I would've thunk up about the cube had I been introduced fully to the speedcubing world.
