The View From Our Window
I had a few minutes to spare and used them to weld up the supports for the vehicles and also hook up the wiring to enable the LED lighting on the levitation devices. The upper portions of the piece are now ready for the fun sculpting process.
I decided I would also add one last red light in the rocket cockpit - just for fun.
The internet has changed many things in profound ways. It allows the sharing of ideas and images instantly around the world. I was recently contacted by Emily from Brisbane, Australia. She's a stand-up comedian and asked me for the one time use of an image I had posted to our blog some years ago. She understood I held the copy write and that she needed permission to use it which unfortunately is rare these days. The image was the concept art for the town crier which I had designed for a sign at the Fox and Hounds Pub. I granted permission for the single use and sent her the high resolution file. Today, she kindly sent me a file of the poster she had created. If you happen to be in Brisbane on November 20 check them out. :)
In our shop we are always trying to push the boundaries of the things we do, explore new techniques and grow. We especially go there on the samples we create. Matt has brought in some great samples of gnarly wood from his travels. We asked him to weld up an intricate frame and then carve the best and gnarliest wood he has ever done, using that piece of wood he brought as inspiration. Today was the day for the beginning of the concrete work. It is very cool! Awesome Matt!
