I wanted a nice way to display rockets instead of my current block of wood with dowels poking out the top. Designed these in CorelDraw :)
18mm & 13mm rocket display stands cut from 3mm Acrylic.

Formatted personalization (text, for example,) does not need to be showcased through the graphics.
This close up view shows the intimate and subtle relationships between the external identity of the book's possessor and the internal thoughts held within the sketchbook.

Text integrated into the design retained a high resolution, and is an effective way to further personalize the piece.

We are developing a public makerspace in Tam High School’s state-of-the-art woodshop, to make things together and grow a community of makers, students and teachers in South Marin.
This week, I used the laser cutter to make characters for our City of the Future course. In this ‘maker art’ class, lower and middle school students are building futuristic homes with cardboard ‘wonderboxes’ and animated characters such as these. They will bring these wood figures to life with lights, sounds and motion, using simple electronics.
Geo Monley showed off ‘Maker Field’, the city his high school students are building with his help. Here’s their work in progress, which now features a variety of buildings, as well as animatronics powered with Arduino.
These projects are good examples of what we could support with more maker programs for adults and teens in this new Tam High makerspace. More on this later.

So this happened: James & Geoff are finishing up the build on the Rostock 3D printer and needed an extra part. So they made it themselves using Illustrator and our laser cutter. They even hacked the original design to make exactly what they needed. Now, that's what we're talking about! Remember the 4th Floor hours are expanding starting January 2, 2014 and we will be open 5 days a week M-F.
Hours: Mon-Thurs 2pm-8pm / Fri 2pm-6pm.
I just put up an installation of work at Eyebeam for Studio Visits. This is work I have been producing over the last 6 months.
The work is primarily old found books cut with the laser cutter, as well as some laser cut drawings.
This is "FDIC Insured" a collection of 130+ cast off investment books from the Strand dollar racks, engraved with the logos of all of the failed banks of the Great Recession.
The set shows a team building activity evening at the MUSE FabLab. The general activities have been focused on Digital Fabrication and personalization of an object designed by groups of people. The object has been first designed digitally and then fabricated using the laser cutter. As a third step, each group has the build up the physical object, basically for their office desk.
The silver ink worked well with the relief printing. Very smooth and picked up the fine details quite well. The one on the left had the cameo background cutout, leading to a cleaner print.

This work is called "Before and After." I wanted to call it "Before and After President Reagan Lost His Memory" but that seemed a little overdetermined. So I just write it here. It is books from an 1982 and 1992 World Book enscribed with things that were (Free Love, Analog, Prisoner of War) and things that are (HIV/AIDS, Digital, Enemy Combatant.)
