Lev’s featured in the premiere episode of BoingBoing TV today.

Etsy Labs, Create Digital Music, and Make Magazine have been holding a series of handmade music nights at Etsy’s Brooklyn headquarters, where people share the musical gadgets they’ve made.

Some of my vegevision has been featured in Edible Brooklyn magazine! More information about the project and about purchasing prints from the series can be found on the project page.

I’m happy to report that I was completely wrong. [...]
