Vladimir of Vladmaster was featured in the New York Times Magazine on May 13, 2007. Quote: "Presumably not even Gruber [who created the View-Master in 1938] could have envisioned the results: hundreds of people in a theater, simultaneously clicking their View-Masters as a soundtrack cues them to the next image in, for instance, a story called Lucifugia Thigmotaxis."

Christine Claringbold of Eye Pop Art was hired by Manhattan's Henry Street School for International Studies to work on three large mandala paintings with three groups of seventh graders. She traveled to New York in the first week of May and had a great time leading the kids in designing and painting their beautiful mandalas. Before her visit, the kids had all studied Christine's work and the history of mandalas, and they each had made their own peace mandala on a recycled vinyl record!
