MoMA asked us to create a website for their annual after party for the Armory Show. In addition to selling tickets, they decided to introduce a micro donation campaign this year; for those that want to contribute but cannot attend the event. We were delighted when they liked our pitch for creating digital bobble heads as a gift for donating. There will also be a live stream of the event.

The website is a pretty straight forward e-commerce site, but we got to use Stripe as a payment processor for the first time. I love them and so should you. We created a simple admin interface that allows MoMA to manage orders.

As for the bobble heads, we implemented it with a little JavaScript + Canvas magic. Unfortunately, in order to support InternetShitExplorer version < 9; we had to create an additional Flash version. Thankfully converting most of the JS into ActionScript was trivial.

We got Luis to do all the illustrations for the bobble heads. It was great working with Luis. It felt like being back at the lab, PLW style. This may turn into a new startup

Anyway, check me out! And see you at the party on March 7, 2012! I’ll be there. Will you?
