Trash Lords Logo Design
This is a logo design I did for a local trash company, mostly as a joke...but I like the way it turned out. The fish is a rotting tarpon since the owners are big into fishing. I am proud of the hand drawn text since I usually struggle with drawing words in a way that … Continue reading Trash Lords Logo Design
3-D Printing Wood!
I recently bought some Wood-Based PLA to experiment with. It is made from 80% wood pulp, a little adhesive, and a little PLA.

Some of our … Continue reading Atlanta Maker Faire 2015

All of the pavers were made on the porch of my own (tiny) apartment from homemade silicone molds. You might recognize the fish art … Continue reading Designing and Making Custom Cement Pavers
3D Scanning a Turtle
This guy is a little critter I made to test out some more of our Makerbot Digitizer's functionality. I scanned him about six times from all different angles. The digital file still did not pick up all of the cracks, crevices, and surface features, but I think the overall model turned out cute. Clay sculpture … Continue reading 3D Scanning a Turtle
