This weekend is quite special.
Tonight I get to shoot Digitalism and tomorrow Swedish House Mafia twice, first at a private party and then on their huge national gig. I had to travel a couple hours here to Mexico city.
So this will pretty much be my workspace for the next couple of days. I will get drunk and creative here.
I'm so pumped!
Got my hairpin legs back from Champion Powder Coating. Still not sure about my decision about straight hairpin legs since my last ones were angled. But I'm sure it's just a matter of me getting used to them. Tabletop is an IKEA Hilver, legs were welded for me by someone in SJ using IKEA Adils mounts.
As for the workspace, this is slightly different than what I posted several years back. It now has a dusty (sorry haha) 2.3ghz i7 Quad Core Mac mini running 10.10.4 with 8gb of RAM, a 250gb Samsung 850 EVO SSD and a 750GB WD Black that's plugged into a 27" Cinema Display. Despite it's age, I've been pretty happy with the combo and don't see myself replacing it for a while. Mobile devices are a 5s and a Mini 2, both 16gb and running jailbroken 8.3. Would get a Mini 3 just for the Touch ID's visual consistency with my phone (I can be a little obsessive compulsive lol).
Sound still mostly comes out of my mini toslink connected iPod Hi-Fi that I probably will never get rid of, but I also use a Meridian Explorer paired with Grado SR-325s (classic flat cups, with newer drivers since one of the originals blew out last year). I keep the remote on my desk so I can adjust the volume and change tracks while I'm reading in my Modernica Rocker (hey, at least it's fiberglass). The long USB cable on the floor is for when I want to lay in bed and read with my headphones on.
My Aluminum headphone stand and mouse pad are Elago, which I think are better looking and better built than my previous Just Mobile ones. The OWC Mercury Elite Pro HDD enclosures contain 1TB 7200RPM Travelstars and are rotated with one being left at work. The Magic Mouse and Bluetooth Keyboard are incredibly old. I also have misc. peripherals and what not on the side, like a wired keyboard and mighty Mouse, a bare DVD drive with a SATA to USB adapter (for Netflix movies) and an iFixit toolkit.
And for those wondering, the beer is 21st Amendment Brew Free or Die IPA on a Supreme Fuck Em! Coaster :)
Got some goodies from MacWorld. Rocking my new Macbook Pro mStand and iPhone Glif kickstand. As you can see I'm a bit of an Apple fanboy. I just love how everything matches.

Not staged. I just liked the light on the desk as I was about to knock the Mac off for the evening. Not sure what the clutter says about me.
:::
I took the computer out of my bedroom because, even though it's large enough to accommodate a desk and home office area, I couldn't get any work done in there.
I put it here, in my sunroom overlooking the lake.
It - and I - work well here.
(Duane - DRP - gave me his G4 Cube and monitor and accoutrements, because my old souped up G3 was dying. A parting gift, of a sort, I suppose.)
:::
transforming the work space at the casa. with one big long desk and a his and her side. will be much better for drawing and some other art projects. still need to finish it out.
Finally decided to throw up an updated photo of my desk. My 13" MBP is under the table sitting on the mini table(you can make out the legs), my rarely used printer is sitting down there too. I usually sit on my Yoga mat. While I don't have anything really at all powerful, I'm fairly happy with what I have, and think it will do just fine as I try to put my comics together this summer. I really don't see me changing anything anytime soon. I think it's gonna be like when I was younger and would use my Macs for years before I upgraded(then again, I wasn't paying for them). The only thing I might consider down the line is a Wacom tablet depending on how much I get into illustrating.
But as for what I have:
-2010 13" MacBook Pro(there's hardly anything pro about this lol) 2.4ghz C2D, 8GB RAM, 80GB Intel X25-M boot drive, 1TB Western Digital Scorpio Blue backup and storage drive. It's nothing special but it doesn't feel slow or anything for what I use it for.
-24" Apple Cinema Display. I like this a lot. I can do w/o the glare though. It's mounted with the Apple adapter(only available online) and a cheap tilt mount from monoprice. I'm gonna see what some friends can do about turning this into a 27" soon :D.
-Apple iPod Hi-Fi which was previously hooked up to my Airport Express(powered by AirFoil), but now is directly hooked up to my laptop via mini toslink since I don't work away from the table. I know people aren't a huge fan of this, but I got it for a fraction of MSRP, like most of my Apple gear, so I couldn't complain. My only issue is Apple dropping 12v charging from their portables. If I want to charge it on the speaker I need to use Scosche's passport adapter.
-Apple Bluetooth Keyboard. Nothing really special about this.
-Apple Magic Mouse. I'm not sure why people hate this so much. I think the problem with most people using Apple's touch input devices is that they use their index finger to scroll, when it feels much more natural to use your middle finger and ring finger to do so. Try it. Only point and click with your index, and use your middle and ring to do scrolling. YMMV though.
-Comkia FW800 enclosure from Central Computers with a 1.5TB 7200RPM Seagate Barracuda. The case was on sale for like $50, and isn't bad looking. The hard drive is loud though. I've had this for years so I'm thinking of getting some WD Greens to replace it(one to store and one to keep connected).
-iPhone 4. I'll be honest. I'm very happy with my phone and see no real reason to upgrade in a while. I'd dig a slightly bigger screen, but it's no deal breaker. There are a lot of other more impressive phones out there, but I'm getting to the point where specs don't mean as much to me as my daily experience. Hardware can only do so much. My only complaint is the lack of coverage in certain parts of the city.
-iPad. This has really replaced my need to carry around a laptop. Especially since I just tether off my iPhone. But then again I'm not some sort of power user that requires much. I don't really care about the cameras on the iPad 2, but I'll admit I'm jealous of the case design. I think the A5 would be helpful in playing back my 720p MKVs too. It's just photogene(with iPhone 4 images at least) and sketchbook pro seem to work just fine as it is. I've yet to test out the HDMI adapter with some movies or anime as I don't have a TV, but if it works out, then cool(EDIT: Found out XBMC won't output video from my iPad :\ ). I'll admit I think the Xoom is really nice, and if I hadn't already invested a lot in the App store, I'd get it over the iPad. I do find the whole Honeycomb deal to be kind of funny. But I get it, if I was Google, I'd protect my stream of money too.
-Apple Airport Express(not seen). I used to have an Extreme for wireless HDD access and 5ghz N, while my Express was used for wireless audio, printing and 2.4ghz N/G. Now that my laptop is just sitting around, and no one comes by that can't use 5ghz N, I sold the Extreme, plugged directly into my speakers and have the Express set at 5GHZ N.
-Apple Remote. I have the aluminum one on my desk, and the older white one by my lampshade to change songs at night.
-Cobb's top. This was a giveaway at the Inception Panel last year.
-Canon 24-105mmL mug. I forgot which website I bought this from but I love it. Even has a lens cap lid :D
-Canon MP600 under the table. I hardly use this, but I have it for those rare occasions.
-RCA Comcast Cable Modem under the table.
-Eneloop charger and 8 batteries for my input devices.
I don't know what else to say really. I'm an Apple fanboy, but I'm not afraid to admit that I think Android is pretty cool. Windows 7 is nice and the best Windows has ever been. My short experience with Lion has been enh. I've suggested to most of my friends looking at notebooks to consider HP's Envy line if they're not a Windows-Phobe, and only get a MacBook if you absolutely feel you need OS X and really prefer the Mac design over HP's. I continue to tell those who want a desktop to just build one unless you have no space and need an all in one.
For the most part though, this setup is mostly used for media consumption, but I'm slowly working to change that and will be putting out content in the upcoming year. Thanks for looking.
Started med school last week. Started moving into my new place.
Knowing that I am probably going to be shackled to a desk for a majority of my free time, I thought it would be fun to bring in some of the greenness from the outdoors.
I used the living room to create an open workspace. Purchased a 10' x 10' piece of artificial grass to serve as an area rug. The grass has a 1.5" blade length, very enjoyable to sit on or feel the grass between your toes while studying.
Table and shelf are from Ikea, I made the frankentable by joining two tables together with the legs in the middle, along with a cable organizer between the two.
I used an extra strip of artificial grass over the center of the table to hide all the cables going from the computer accessories to the power cable organizer underneath the table.
Shelf was used to hold the printers and books.
Additionally, I cut a small hole in the artificial grass so I could feed a power cable underneath to run to the wall outlet unseen.
Finally I got my desk cleaned,I must say that I´m very proud of myself while watching this.There is still some parts that are not shown in photos including most of my slopes,baseplates etc.
I hope that I´m not only preson in flickr who enjoys seeing other peoples workspaces.
So I challenge EVERYONE to do this. ;)
All change - I've gone from working full time in an office to part time freelance at home. This fits in so well with being a foster carer as I get to work flexibly when time allows and I can commit to the foster caring as needed. I'm nicely set up with a mobile workspace so that I can pick it up and work where ever I am. I have to say it is fab and I should have done it years ago.
My computer is running a AMD Phenom II 6core at 3.2GhZ, 8GB ram and a Sapphire radeon HD 6950 GPU.
The rest is fairly self explanatory I guess.
I've made many minor tweaks to my workspace over the years, but two things stand out.
1. A PC. I completely removed having a standalone PC on my desk and instead now just rely on using VMware Fusion to run Windows on a separate desktop space on my iMac. Has felt very liberating but I still get Windows use when I need it (which isn't often).
2. Multi-screens. Including an iPad I got up to nine screens at one point, it was just crazy. I now feel comfortable having just a second screen for each device (excluding the iPad) and use multiple desktops within OS X. One for my main workspace, one for Windows, one for editing tools, etc. Works beautifully.
Lastly, yes that is a PS3 hiding in the corner for 2012, a guy needs some downtime doesn't he? The screen I use for the MacBook Air also has a HD TV tuner, PS3 and Apple TV attached. Perfect for whatever my needs are at the time.
(And of course the CD/DVD drawers are long gone. Who use them anymore?)
Here's a picture of my workspace.
Also, I'd love to invite people who enjoy personal workplaces to join the new website www.inmyworkspace.net and add their working spaces with descriptions to the site. Thanks :)
My workspace. Sorry about the cramped pictures, but the room that has become my office is tiny. I needed a desk that would be usable for design work, music, and gaming.
My solution was to build a very shallow desk (it's about 9 inches deep or so) with a sliding drawer that could be puled out when needed, and tucked away
The whole thing is bracketed to the wall, is a work in progress. The best part is 95% of the materials I had sitting around my house.
And if i need to make a modification, I don't feel bad about taking the jigsaw to it.
This is my current setup. Subject to (constant) change.
Roll over the image for notes about equipment.
Scanner. Epson Perfection V30.
Speakers. Audioengine A2 White.
Laptop. MacBook Pro.
Time Machine Hard Drive. Toshiba Desktop HD 1TB
Regular Use Hard Drive. Iomega 1.5TB
Coffee Machine. Senseo
Mini Fridge. Magic Chef

TV. Vizio 42inch
Updated my workspace to include some additional storage and a stand for the MacBook Pro. The laptop screen is a lot more usable after raising it and I use the dual monitors a lot more now. I also swapped the iPhone 3G for a new iPhone 3GS and installed a 500GB drive into the MacBook Pro.
Well, this is where I spend my time – Mon-Fri 8:30am to 5:30pm, most days of the year. It's where work happens, and also where creative thoughts happen. It's my little world of inspiration. One of my favourite desk accessories are my monster lights that hang above my computer.
If you also have a space where creative thoughts happen, I'd love to hear from you. I have started a blog called 'Creative Nook.' where people can submit their workspace pictures along with their name and location.
It's always fun to have a sneak peak into other people's world's... don't you think?
Sorry to say that this is actually my desk in one of its cleaner states. Compare to the old dorm room desk and the old studio desk.
Another Workspace Wednesday!
The shoes I ordered for the Dasia girls were too small, unfortunately, even after measuring their feet =_=. So, I’m delving into making some simple pumps for them. I carved the heels out of Super Sculpey and blasted them with a heat gun. They still need a coat of paint. The sole/insoles are made out of some pieces from a vintage purse I had laying around. I’m going to attempt to make an ankle cuff for the black pair.
This particular Dasia is finished, faceup and all, just waiting on shoesies. I also experimented with some lead free solder to make her jewelry nice and spiky. I am beyond thrilled with how the earrings, necklace, and bracelet turned out. Her clothing is Unoa size, believe it or not, lol. I ordered a few pieces from SproutyBJD on Etsy and requested that she make the leggings ankle length. They fit perfectly! The shirt is a bit of a tight close in the back because I thought it would be stretchy fabric, but it’s still a great fit and I love it for this girl.
Finally I managed to finish [or almost] my workspace. Bought myself a pair of sawhorses for $50, sanded them, and put a door on top, which I got for free from a friend, as a bench. Pretty good, hey?
I still want to wrap the table with some special architecture plastic to look neater.
This is from an ongoing project I am doing entitled "reflectives". It is exploring the idea of reflections in relationship with perspectives. In an ever-growing divisive world I'm always intrigued by the variety of perspectives people have.
