The very first annual sticker designers meet up. All these guys had their sticker designs selected to be printed by the org and inside the greeter packs.

Shot with Tom H and Tei P in a goat shit filled tunnel in Dinorwic Slate quarry. The only place the midges dared not to enter. About the 5th attempt to get a circle roughly circular. Cheers to Tom for lending me his light tools and Tei for all the aperture changes and lens capping. Happy days.
So if you've been following along with my Fishing Boat, the Koroleva Rusalka you would have seen the recent video
I posted about taking it out to the beach. As I said, I learn a few things way back when, i tested out the boat in my tub. It was quite clear the boat was back heavy. So the modification I made to the ship was as followed:
1. The crew quarters in the hull has been raise by two plates to make the interior removable.
2. I added some bulkhead hatches to some of the doors to keep the water out.
3. To further bring the weight up to the front, I switch out the old Ice maker and Refrigeration unit with a couple of modified weighted bricks used for older boat sets that I inherited from my brother. These were original details I had in the old build, but I forgot to take a picture of them beforehand.
People watching at the park. Don't often see anyone carrying a musical instrument along this hiking path next to the Mississippi River.
Just a tiny bit of painterly effect.

Last night these pretzel makers were in a Japanese food court in my dream. All female employees wore their strawberry blonde hair in a pouf like Marie Antoinette and all male employees had short reddish-blond hair and triangular beards and moustaches. Some of the men had short hair and others had a George Washington style. You can't really tell the age from the drawing but all the employees were in their 20s.

In this week’s art maker class with Natalina, we started with a bit of qi gong, then had a conversation in french about objects around us in our home and garden. We then switched to Arduino programming and learned how to make a servo motor move. She assembled the hardware, reviewed the servo code and updated it to try different speeds for the motor. She keeps getting more fluent in both French and Arduino — two languages she wasn’t very comfortable with before. I think these weekly lessons are helping, and I am really happy with her progress.
We also discussed our next steps for Violet’s Journey, the fairy tale video that we are creating with her art ducks — which we have turned into poetic robots. We reviewed our options for the backgrounds that the ducks will glide in front of, and decided to start by printing one of our photo backgrounds onto a large vinyl banner, then shooting some test scenes against that backdrop, to see if this type of physical compositing with printed scenes will work. We also talked about the need for ’skirts’ to cover the robot bases, and looked at different ways to give Violet rainbow-colored feathers, using illuminated fiber optic strands that just came in from China.
Here’s our Arduino Guide for these classes: bit.ly/arduino-workshop-guide

A productive afternoon making art together at Pataphysical Studios.
Doctors Canard and Rindbrain completed an illuminated painting that is constantly changing, as the light box around it cycles through the colors of the rainbow. This creates an ethereal experience, as the brush strokes quietly shimmer and transform, to the sound of Brian Eno’s Music for Airports (see video: vimeo.com/151282015 ). Nicely done, doctors!
Our visitors this week were Michael Easton and his son Kyan, who seemed to enjoy themselves. A friend of Dr. Figurine’s, Michael is quite an accomplished artist, inventor and engineer and showed us some of his cool creations, including magical mushroom lights inspired by this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5LjGFkpApw
Doctor Fabio showed a Chinese New Year wonderbox prototype he is building for his upcoming maker workshops (bit.ly/wonderbox-overview ). Doctors Really and Igor worked on bringing sound to more wonderboxes. Dr. Rindbrain showed his new Universe cards about Mamie. Dr. Figurine worked on a Neopixel badge for her lab coat. Doctor Zboon showed some of his new pataphysical talismans. A fine time was had by all.

We had a blast at the first meetup for Tam Makers, our new makerspace in Mill Valley. We hosted this free event at the wood shop at Tamalpais High School in Mill Valley on June 8, 2016.
A diverse group of people came to the visit the shop, learn about our classes and discuss how to grow our maker community. Participants ranged from experienced artists, technologists, makers and woodworkers, to people interested in learning new skills, as well as high school and middle school students and their parents.
We opened the shop at 6pm and folks started to connect right away, checking out some of our demos, showing off recent projects and touring the space. At 7pm, we gave a presentation on Tam Makers, and talked about our first courses, meetups and tools for adults and youth. We then discussed these programs as a group and received some really helpful feedback.
Most people were very interested in participating in Tam Makers and using the makerspace regularly. They also liked the mix of classes, ranging from maker art to technology and woodworking. Some people signed up for classes on the spot and most wanted to join more meetups. Many offered to volunteer as well. One person said this event had a great community feeling, unlike more commercially motivated makerspaces.
We’re really happy that this first meetup went so well and that so many folks want to participate actively. We look forward to collaborating with our new maker friends very soon!

This relatively simple model was repurposed later in the third season as the Aurora in the episode " The Way to Eden " and can be seen as that ship here:

Teacher Geo Monley and his high school students are building an animatronic city at Tam High: Maker Field. Here’s their work in progress, which now features several tall buildings and multiple levels.
Geo and I are also teaching a similar class for middle school students: City of the Future. Children will combine arts and electronics to make a model of what our world could be like in 100 years. They will build a futuristic home with a cardboard ‘wonderbox’ and animated characters, bringing them to life with lights, sounds and motion.
