Project: LED Blotter
As a test of the boardhouse's willingness to drill a ton of mousebites, I designed these breakaway LED boards in the style of LSD blotter with the notorious Orange Sunshine blotter art in the silkscreen.
Project: GITS Inhalers
In the live-action Ghost in the Shell movie, club-goers were using these inhalers. They showed up on the Propstore auctions and I saved all of the photos instantly.
I re-drew the label graphics in Inkscape (I still have the vector files for anyone interested) and transferred them onto aluminum spray cans from Amazon using a packing tape toner transfer method. I built the rest from flame-distressed 3D printed parts and a cheap oxygen mask.

Project: Lord Canti Head (FLCL)
This was my second Canti cosplay for DragonCon. Made from foam, lasercut acrlyic, PVC pipe, wire, and a curved acrylic screen made by slumping acrylic in a laser-cut frame with a heat gun. I put this together in an incredible time-crunch and re-used the display electronics from my first Canti cosplay. Everything still smelled like paint when I got to the hotel.
Project: Animal Skin Speakers
I made these speakers from natural drumskins in the style of wooden drums. I built the drum shells from oak and welded my own rings to tension the heads. The coils were wrapped on cylinders of goatskin. I used huge neodymium magnets to make them work. Drums obviously make terrible speakers because they're designed to be resonant at a single frequency. They still sounded pretty good for what they were.
The stereo one used a hand carved cross as a cap-touch on/off.
Project: Occult Pokémon Objects
These were some things that I 3D-printed, distressed, and painted to explore the idea of occultism in the Pokémon universe. An engraved Cubone skull and an engraved bone pokéball.
Project: Laser cut leather stitched masks
Leather is an awesome material because it's dimensionally stable and easy to work like wood, but malleable like fabric. I designed and stitched some masks using veg-tanned tooling leather. A classic plague mask and this ornate little deer with carved wooden antlers.
That's probably enough spamming the timeline for now. I'll add stuff later if I find anything vaguely worth sharing. Some of this stuff is on my Instagram which I never use anymore but never got a proper write-up.
Hope you were inspired!
