I’m working on some new things, all digital because I’m getting ready to move again and all the best painting and sculpture ideas are really large right now. It’s probably a good thing, though. I’m trying to break the cycle of write program // save program // never open program again. I love the option […]
As indicated by the title, this project is proof of a concept above all. I started with a 3D model (courtesy of mckoss on thingiverse,) trimmed it down in Blender, and imported it into 123D Make. I expanded it by ⅛ inch, sliced it for ⅛ inch stock, and exported it for laser cutting. Lasered, […]
I have loads of sketches and files for projects that I’ve never made the time to turn into physical objects but I’m trying to work through more of them. This is one. I like it because I think this is interesting, and the project could scale into larger and more elaborate versions as well. […]
This business card case holds a stack of business cards (obviously) and up to a dozen Micro SD memory cards below a false bottom. It’s made from hobby stock – the kind in craft stores that comes in weird sizes like 1/32 inch thick – which willingly accommodates designs that hinge on having accurate dimensions. […]
This is one of those ideas that I’ve had for a while and just committed to reality. They’re created by using a laser to burn the lines into the surface of the paper. It’s a delicate balance between enough power for the lines to be clear but not so much that the paper is cut […]
I recently worked on another project at Radar Studios, and while I was there I met the very talented Tucker Barrie. So, of course, when Tucker called me a couple weeks ago to ask for help on a project I said yes. And when I say I “helped him” I really mean I “pressured him […]
It’s only recently that I’ve reached the point with 3D modeling that I can just open up Blender and make what I want on the first try. I’ve been doing some sort of 3D off and on since high school (Video Toaster on a Commodore Amiga!) but it’s always been project centric – hyper focus, […]
