Programatic Circular Mosaic Filtering

Inspired by some artwork consisting of overlapping circles shaded different colors I decided to write a program to generate my own interpretation. My objective was to create an aesthetic abstract picture from a source image as a mosaic where the pattern was constructed from overlapping circles. The software first takes a picture and generates a […]

Angel Tray

The ottoman in our living room made for a poor surface for drinks, games and such so I decided to make a tray that could sit on top of it. I went a bit overboard and ended up with an heirloom piece I am rather proud of. The warm wood tones, subtly reflective copper, mult-layered, […]

Building Mazes in Photos

I was leaning back in my chair gazing out the window last week looking for inspiration for a photo project. A small house across the street has so many surfaces and facets but it’s stark whiteness caught my attention as supplying a unique blank canvas. So I waited until sunset and snuck over there with […]

CryptoQuakes NFT

Further exploring unique possibilities for NFTs I decided to develop a system to create videos generated from seismographic readings! Substantial research and development was required to obtain the appropriate data direct from seismographic stations around the world, process it, generate the necessary data, imaging, audio and video. Even more work was required to implement a […]

4 Dimensional Morse Shadow Puzzle NFT

I have a very long history of studying, constructing and playing with higher dimensional objects and since they are naturally of an intangible nature it seemed to me that NFTs are perhaps a perfect medium to actually possess one. Not sure what a Non Fungible Token (NFT) is? Look into it and come back! To […]

Pandora’s Box

For many years I’ve thought about designing and building a puzzle box built around a poem. My vision was for each stanza of the poem to be written on each of its six sides and that when read in the correct order a secret compartment would open! In fact I created a prototype core that […]

Moon Orrery

orrery [ awr–uh-ree, or– ] noun,plural or·rer·ies. an apparatus for representing the positions, motions, and phases of the planets, satellites, etc., in the solar system. This endeavor has been the longest continuous build I have ever committed to so it is with great personal excitement to finally post about my Moon Orrery. The […]

3d Printer Laser Etching

This year for my birthday I stepped up my 3d printing game from my 3yr old Monoprice Select V2 to a new Ender-5 Plus; huge upgrade after many years of headache. I was left with what to do with my old printer, certainly too much potential to just throw it away. I thought it too […]

Framed Skull Relief

I was sitting in the study with my daughter and we were discussing art. After a while we decided we were in the mood to make something ourselves so we sat for a time looking for inspiration. My eyes kept being drawn to the fluffy quilt of talc-like ash in the fireplace and I started […]

Faerie Specimen

I created this oddity that purports to showcase an aged museum specimen of a faerie’s skeleton. I made the skeleton with the 3d printer using human skeletal models and bird wing skeleton drawings. I made the backdrop by combing various diagrams found online. All annotations reworked, positioned and (tediously) translated into latin. The museum placard […]

Squid Vambrace

With a plasma cutter now in my arsenal and a desire to make an edgy piece of wearable art I decided to attempt to make a piece of armor. After a number of drawings I settled on the idea of a squid wrapped around an arm where the tentacles (squid = 8 legs + 2 […]

Mushroom Specimen

I have a friend with a sizeable collection of spooky oddities that I thought might enjoy adding an evil mushroom specimen to it. I intended to make a hollow core in order to run blue LEDs in it so that the mushroom might have translucent spots that would slowly pulse a color. As I got […]

Scarab Bass Relief

I recently had a hall mirror fall and the glass and frame broke. After a couple days seeing it ready to go in the garbage I decided to embrace the Japanese philosophy of Wabi-sabi and in particular it’s common artistic form of Kintsugi. I repaired the cracked mirror with a gold seam to bind the […]

Melancholy Nude Charcoal

Still on a little bit of an art kick from the holiday time off in between a lot of work on an electronic device I am looking forward to finishing and posting about! Drew this on a little break today.

Painting of an Avenging Angel

I was motivated to break out some paints over the holiday break, here is one of the pieces I painted:

Themed Cocktail Menus

Occasionally bartending private themed craft cocktail parties I enjoy putting together appropriate menus, here are a couple:

Planets Made of Fat

Walking through the kitchen I stopped and became fascinated with the bizarre texture of the fat drippings in a pan my wife had on the stove… so naturally I made them into planets! Source material:

Imbroglio Board Game

I am a bit of a board game geek with a relatively sizable collection. I most prefer collaborative games and fancy a good dungeon crawl, so I set out to make a moderator-less collaborative dungeon crawling game. After a bit of tinkering I put some creative together and had a one-off prototype produced. After a […]

Hand Face

Scary face made out of my hand Source material:

Symmetrical Doodles

My preferred form of doodling has a symmetrical vine-like organic style to it; I scanned a couple and embellished them for fun.

Ukrainian Trident Bird

Someone asked me to design a tattoo that was Ukrainian and involved a Bird, this is what I came up with based on the Ukrainian Trident. I posted it a while back and I sometimes see it pop up on the web in the context of Ukrainian art which always surprises me that other people […]

Sketch of my Dad

After my dad passed away I drew this picture of him Here was the photo I based it on:
