And me and my anger sit folding a paper bird,

Letting the curtains turn to beating wings...

 

You are a radio. You are an open door.

I am a faulty string of blue christmas lights.

You swim through frequencies. You let that stranger in

As I'm blinking off and on and off again.

We've got a lot of time. Or maybe we don't,

But I'd like to think so, so let me pretend.

These are my favourite chords. I know you like them too.

When I get a new guitar, you can have this one

And sing me a lullaby. Sing me the alphabet.

Sing me a story I haven't heard yet.

 

The Weakerthans, "My Favourite Chords"

Song of the day

Folding plate camera by Contessa Nettel AG Stuttgart, manufactured in 1921 known as Tropen Adoro 34. Plates measure 6,5 x 9 cm. Teakwood, with Tessar 4,5/105 in Compur shutter

Folding rare en France. Exemplaire n° 56726, doté du "Combination Back" permettant l'emploi du rollfilm 118 (6 vues 80x105 mm) ou de plaques de verre 9x12. Modèle C avec filetages pour pied. Aucune information ne figure sur l'objectif ou sur l'obturateur, on peut voir que l'objectif dispose d'un diaphragme à vanne (petite tirette permettant de placer un trou plus ou moins grand sur le trajet de la lumière, que la mise au point se fait par simple tirage du porte-objectif, avec curseur se déplaçant devant une échelle graduée et que l'obturateur permet l'instantané si on appuie sur le bouton du haut, et la pose en deux temps avec le levier de côté. Le viseur orientable est équipé d'un capuchon de protection qui joue le rôle de pare-soleil lorsqu'il est relevé pour la visée. La tirette que l'on voit sur le côté gauche de l'abattant est une béquille pour le cas où l'on voudrait poser l'appareil horizontalement sur une table.

Last post was was on the 10th, currently its the 28th! Approaching 6 months. Thats how difficult this stupid thing is. Maybe not to fold, but to make (there were many thickness & alighment issues). Now about 5 test folds later: I decided to completely refold the inner flaps section. Thus implementing a longer stretch, they now touch better. A slightly new sequence was devised for the inside of those flaps. This also lays farely flat for the most party which is good, although the model is 3D. (This refold ended up working out partially by chance).. Lastly, the final annoying thing is figuring out how to shape the center. Its also impossible to shorten the ratio. It may not be easy as its set in place with all the bottom flaps. So I would likely just have to valley the flaps in somehow at this point. I am not doing any major redesign to it, as it was tedious for me to get to this stage.

   

The Cult Trike with New Transportability

Good news for trike travelers: With its innovative Quickstick hubs, Hase Bikes has found an ingenious solution for transport problems. The rear wheels of the Kettwiesel can now be easily removed in just a matter of seconds.

 

The Hase Kettwiesel guarantees fun to the power of three: The nimble cornering machine from the German specialist bicycle manufacturer is always ahead of the pack, be it slalom or offroad. Until now, the only Kettwiesel activity that wasn’t pure thrills was trying to fit the trike into a compact car or a tight space in the garage.

Now Marec Hase, engineer and designer of all Hase bikes and trikes, has found a remedy: Thanks to its “Quickstick” hubs, the Kettwiesel can go from flagship to flounder in a matter of seconds. Just remove the front wheel with the quick-release mechanism, fold down the seat and – pull off the rear wheels.

All you’ll need is a 6mm Allen key: Simply loosen a screw in the center of the hub – easily accessible from the outside – and the whole wheel can be effortlessly removed. After the Kettwiesel has reached its destination, remounting the wheels is just as easy. And the good times roll on …

An accordeon fold triangle book

 

The booklet measures appr 4 x 8 ". There are 2 accordeon folds on the spine in which I attached 2 sections.

 

The cover of the booklet is made of Tyvek. Tyvek looks like paper but is in fact a synthetic material. It is very strong and difficult to tear. It's easy to write or stamp on, even easy to cut. I was able to make crisp folds as well.

I stamped on the cover with Distress Ink.

I think making the door be at one or the other end of the system will be stronger, since the door is the weakest panel of them all.

The hands of my eighty-nine-year-old grandmother, photographed while she napped at my cousin's home. She's currently living with my cousin and aunt; they moved her to their home after determining that the assisted-care facility she was in was just too depressing, and they've assumed all the responsibilities that come with caring for an aged relative at home.

 

The ring was my grandfather's wedding band. She's worn it on her own hand now since his death in August.

When it's my time, this is how I want to go out.... I want to be colorful, unique, worn, ragged, loud and memorable! I'm coming in fast, hard and sideways!

 

I want my friend John, the town Undertaker, to look at me and say, "This guy is spindled, folded and sort of mutilated.... "Wow, this guy looks like he really lived!"

The only folding bike everyone part-folds as a matter of course. Flicking the back wheel underneath allows the bike to rest on its three little rollers (four, if you fit the rear rack).

 

My super clean Brompton S6L didn't stay standard for very long! The standard pedals were swapped for my SPDs; the foam grips, while quite nicely shaped, made way for Ergon GP1s; the handlebars were changed for carbon fibre risers along with a stem extension; a pair of bar ends added more reach; and the brake levers became my vintage Dia Compe SS5s. The two plastic cone-shaped rollers turned into Eazy Wheels, and an aluminium frame over the rear wheel carries two more Eazy Wheels for rollability.

 

Original DSC_1785

I enjoy creating paper dolls by using rubber stamps in unusual ways and I could not resist creating a folding fairy to ATC just for the fun of it; so here she is and I hope you like her.

 

The paper doll was made from a doll template I created and printed on my computer then I decorated her us using various Blockhead Rubber Stamp Images.

 

The background, folding street lamp and hair/crown were from the Blockheads rubber stamp half-sheet titled Architecture AR501. (the hair and crown on the doll was created by using parts of the column found on the lower portion of one of the collage images). The Dress was created by stamping the butterfly wings from the Blockheads rubber stamp half-sheet titled Faerie Wings WH502 several times (7 times total. 6 for the skirt and one for the bodice)

 

The poseable doll is able to fold compactly within the dimensions of the ATC for storage due to its construction with brads. (The brads allow the doll to be displayed in a variety of positions.) The street lamp has two bends placed in it so it can easily be opened or folded closed on the ATC.

  

Ok here’s a photographic Zine

This sweetheart of a mini Zine includes photographs I take that inform my drawings. Looking for patterns, grids, and interesting combinations of marks.

 

Photography is an important part of my studio practice. I document what I see and how I see it. Sharing these images helps you see what I see.

 

These books are very simple for you to make once you download them. I I'm happy to share this short video that gives you an idea of what my Foldable Dispatches books look like after they are printed, folded, and cut.

 

Become a patron and download and make your own.

My year-long project for 2021 is a small single-sheet artist book/zine collection. This collection will be available to all patrons including the $3/month Studio Journal level. It’s like buying me a cup of coffee each month. Or level to VoxBox and get some buttons and other goodies too.

 

Inspired by numerous single sheet artist's books out in the universe, I have decided to make works that can be digitally shared with my patrons and collectors. I will be attempting to creat one single-sheet art book a month.

 

I have been behind due to so many issues but I'm continuing and hope to get the first series completed soon.
