Lovehorns
I’m just putting the finishing touches on Lovehorns.com. Kyle Jackson an artist from Nova Scotia Canada has been in the studio developing his latest series of interactive art called the lovehorn.
The Lovehorn is an interactive art sculpture offering a fun and imaginative way to express yourself and start conversations. Honking this happy rubber horn, housed in a custom carved and painted box sculpture ( 1 foot sq. x 4 inch deep), makes you smile, transmits your emotions and sends out a charming, colourful, and contemplative message.
This is the ultimate hug maker, honking this horn can mean any number of things, from lets get silly to I need some loving. Have a look at the site and let me know what you think.
