A quick sketch of a piece I’m about to do. 

Created with Admarket’s flickrSLiDR.

I FINALLY get to show everyone the 3D Motion Control Timelapse stuff that my friends Peter Chang, Brad Kremer, and Stewart Mayer shot in my studio. For those of you with 3D capabilities, this is available on YouTube 3D (yes, there is such a thing) here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0quUxvXtHPw&feature=youtu.be
This is part of a project that Peter Chang is working on. I’m so excited to be a part of this.

Video interview from Bay Area Maker Faire 2011. I won’t ever let hair like that grow on my face again. I promise. I will also stop using bacon grease as hair product.

Just finished!

I’ve been revisiting this look with sketches a lot lately.

This is a little clip put together by Doug Nichol of the progress on the penguin. This and more footage will appear in Doug’s upcoming documentary about typewriters, slated for release a few months from now. Thanks, Doug!

Penguin I. Just about done.

“I am aware that a

computer can’t create

a poem.

but neither can a

typewriter.”

– Charles Bukowski (via sweetpoisons)

My mind keeps coming back to this drawing I did exactly 20 years ago when I was 19. I put my latest sculpture next to it and it’s easy to see why. I feel like I’m finally getting to the point that I can do things with typewriter parts that I’ve always wanted to do with traditional sculpture methods.

Wait until you see what’s next.

Thanks! No solder, no welds, no glue, no wire- just reassembly using only typewriter parts. 

It’s assembly done without using any “hot” processes like welding or soldering. I don’t remember if I made it up or if I heard it somewhere.

I was going to wait to show this piece until I finished my book. The book is taking forever.

Here’s little movie I made about 7 years ago of Torso I, which lives in Seattle. I had almost forgotten about it.

I set up what’s left of my work at Nemo Gould’s showroom today to show it to a collector who’s rolling through town this weekend. 

Check out Nemo’s Tumblr page to see the very cool stuff he’s been making lately.
