Footstool (as birthday present)
Featured
One of my roommates had a birthday recently, and when I thought about gifts it ocurred to me that she reclined in her family’s old armchair pretty often. She’d told us a story of how it had once had a matching footstool, but nobody in the family could seem to remember what happened to it, so I decided to make her one. Full of figuring and learning the lathe (yay!), this project brought some challenges, but was an overall good learning experience. Continue reading

Instructable: Creepy Halloween Day For Night Photomanipulation
Wonderful public-submission how-to site Instructables always has all kinds of contests going on, and with Halloween approaching, they unrolled a whole lineup of Hallow’s Eve themed contests. From costumes to jack-o-lanterns, they’ve got it all. But mostly, the photomanipulation one caught my eye. The deadline’s tomorrow, so sorry if you’re getting late notice, but I’ve been working on my entry for the past two weeks or so. Check it out after the jump.
Short Film Script: Need Help!!
Hello World!
… One of my majors requires (not explicitly, but very implicitly) that we develop a practice of making our own stuff without external forces pushing us to do so. While this is awesome, and probably one of the best things to have going on in art school, it really means we have to step up and tackle the world and ourselves in a serious manner. (Not always serious, but at least as far as taking ourselves serious as stuff-makers goes).
So, one of my projects for this year is a short film. Starting with the guidelines of some cool, fast-paced cinematography, some simple, flashy effects work, and a bitchin’ fight scene with weapons and unique choreography, I banged this out in a few weeks near the end of August, and would looove some feedback.
Originally I wasn’t going for heavy story or even fully-fleshed emotional tones, but now that I’ve gotten out the first draft, I’m open to developing that stuff and really the whole thing in almost any direction. That said, I like the piece as it is now, and I do want to keep things short and concise, while also trying to pack a punch (both metaphorically and literally).
So, please attack this with fervor and excitement, and I’d love to hear what you’ve got to say in the comments.
