The Lensbaby i used for yesterday’s thing was a x-mas gift, I also received a Holga medium format camera, i haven’t really had a lot of time to play with it, so it has been sitting in it’s box unloved since December. Yesterday I ordered a polaroid back (holgaroid) for the camera and to my surprise it arrived this morning along with a bunch of polaroid 690 and 669 film.

these are from first the pack of 690 that i shot, obviously i have no idea what i am doing

the complete pack can be seen here, but is probably not worth looking at.

(more…)

all of these things are under 1.5 inches, i photographed them using my canon xti and a lensbaby that i got for Christmas

this was the first time i even took the lensbaby out of the box and of course reading directions is no fun, so here’s what i got.

little robot guy from a $0.25 vending machine

the lid from my bourbon

a skull that i sculpted and printed using the same process that i showed for my previous thing, Guttstep.

i can’t believe it took me this long to think of this

NJ rotated and reversed 16 times on one point, Trenton.

in 2004 i made these buttons for a bunch of friends and i to wear to a party that happened to be the first night of the RNC in the same general area, the streets were teaming with zombies and we needed something to keep us separated from them.

so i’ve had the S.A.W. graphic sitting around for a while, but here are some bumper stickers to go along with the S.A.W. campaign for 2008.

thing

saturday was the first thing i missed, i had to check out of the hotel in the early a.m. and didn’t get back home until 6a.m. this morning

to make up for missing the thing yesterday and delivering sub par things all week here’s a look at what kept me busy this past week.

i spent all day Tuesday building the booth and setting up the aquatic displays.

wednesday i had to put on my “going to town clothes” and stand around all day and meet our vendors.

the booth was at the global pet expo at the san diego convention center

i run the design department for this company

i saw some dudes that looked like this at the zoo the other day

no time, trade show all day, dinner with the wife afer that.

it’s Bump’s cousin Stump

i’ll try to do more with bump and stump later

i spent all day building a tradeshow booth, my back and feet re killing me.

this is all i had the time or energy for.

his name is bump and he is guttstep’s best friend

i’ll do some more with him when i get home.

here are some things that flew over my head today.

I woke up this morning and looked out of my hotel window on the 20th floor and thought this was headed directly towards me.

we went out for a walk and these things kept flying over head

out on a boat and ended up under the flight path of these

and finally, this dude was just chilling over the boat for the entire trip.

    i am out of town with a new computer having a lot o trouble getting images off of my dslr. so here is a photo i took with my point and shoot hanging out of my window on the 20th floor when i arrived.

I spent the day getting ready for a trip to San Diego, packing running errands, etc.

Here’s a last minute thing.

i spent the day cleaning my aquariums

so i hastily slapped a coat of paint on Mr. Step

painting models is not really my thing and i really wanted to get this thing over with so i could move on.

first some black rubbed in to the texture of his skin

look at them choppers

word em up

NOT IN THE FACE

now he is all primed up and ready for paint
