Rainbows and bright colors are celebrated in Boop! The Musical (now showing on Broadway). 🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜 I was thrilled to be able to contribute some lighted costumes to this project, including this robe with ~3000 individually addressable RGB LED pixels. #rgbled #boopthemusical #broadway #rainbows #pride

The Glow Gala room at Madame Tussaud’s NYC features several of my LED dresses, including this outfit I made for their RuPaul wax figure. The lights are programmed in sync with a multimedia experience (including rainbows!) 🌈 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ #pride #pride2025 #rupaul #madametussauds #uniquelighting #rgbled

Here are some lighted pride flags I made for Coldplay, demonstrating just how durable this work can be! The lights are revealed near the end of the song, before the flag is spun around and tossed into the air. Happy Pride! ❤️💛💚💙💜 #pride2025 #pride #coldplay #peopleofthepride

Lighting and Sound America has an article about Boop! The Musical in their May 2025 issue. It covers technical aspects of creating the scenery, video, lighting, and sound for the show. My work on their lighted costumes is discussed on p. 45. link.lsamedia.com/may2025boop

I make light up clothing for all kinds of rock stars, including engineers! I had the pleasure of attending a 50th anniversary celebration for Computers and Structures, Inc. (CSI) hosted by founder Ashraf Habibullah who has worn many custom Enlighted jackets over the years.

On episode 499: This Is Your Problem( embedded.fm/episodes/499 ), we hosted Janet Hansen( @flashingjanet.bsky.social ) to discuss professional costumery (with electronics) and becoming an artist. Here's Janet's parting message: #art #Mudder #embedded #engineering #electrical #electronics

I made a few pieces of lighted clothing for Boop! The Musical, now showing on Broadway. This robe and jacket (with nearly 4000 RGB LED pixels!) are used to illustrate a magical transition from Betty Boop's black and white cartoon world to the full color real world.

This was such a massively great and fascinating interview with @flashingjanet.bsky.social - it was awesome to hear about the multitude of technical challenges involved in making high profile wearable LED costumery and to hear about what she had to do 20 yrs ago before WS2812s were invented. 🤯

Reception this Thursday April 10th, 5-8pm for my "Kaleidoscopic Comfort" series of sound-reactive LED art. Part of the new Mirror Mirror exhibit at the San Diego International Airport (T2 East near baggage claim). @spiveycopperfield.bsky.social #ledart #sandiego

The Mirror Mirror exhibit is now fully installed at the San Diego International Airport - my pieces are in T2 East (pre-security), east of baggage claim. Please come see it next week during our reception on Thursday April 10th, from 5-8pm. I'll be there with @spiveycopperfield.bsky.social

Here's a great cause supporting electronics education - check out the great work @lasermistress.bsky.social is doing!

I guess some of my illuminated faux fur pieces are pretty natural-looking, after all!

Kaleidoscopic Comfort has been installed at the San Diego International Airport! (T2 level 1, east of baggage claim) I'm one of 16 artists selected for their Mirror Mirror exhibit. Sound reactive effects are demonstrated with custom music by @spiveycopperfield.bsky.social #art #techart #sandiego

Some highlights from my portion of the LED wearables showcase from February 2024, during New York Fashion Week. It's hard to believe this was already a year ago! #wearables #rgbLED #ledart

25 years ago this week, I quit my day job as an aerospace engineer to focus full-time on my new adventure creating LED art. This video shows a recent commission - a lighted logo suit jacket for a corporate event where they were also celebrating a 25 year anniversary. #ledart #wearables

Here's my LED pillow with a sound-reactive flame effect

Another sound reactive demo of my Enlighted Pillow

Another pillow demo, running different patterns (there are 20 options), with different music. This was part of the #makergiftexchange that I did with some friends, and the first sample is shipping out today to @geekmomprojects.com
