This summer I worked on a mural on 33rd street just off of Vliet Street. It was a collaborative project with Zenon Castillo who secured the wall, Ben Stark, and Eliot Patterson. Always a good time working with the homies. I was responsible for the gems and I also painted the grey scale lotus flowers.
A while back I did a quick mural for Blank Space, a great space for creatives.
I built a drawing machine based off of Makelangelo software. I think that I had a pretty nice solution to the problem and was able to make a very nice looking and working machine. I documented the entire process here. This includes step by step instructions to make your own machine, downloadable files to create all the pieces, and links to both the software and resources that I used.
And a couple of the drawings that I made.
My final design for the handle for Race Torch. The trigger lights up when the device is active and ready to use.
The door for the batteries open.
The handle opened up to show the electronics. Everything fits together easily, but with little room to spare.
All of the core components that make up Race Torch. The bluetooth receiver, light and audio generator integrate into a stand that is not shown.
In this project I was teamed up with three mechanical engineers and two electrical engineers. The goal of the project was to create a device that could replace a starting pistol in a track or swim meet. We had quite a few criteria that we had to meet, and a budget that we had to stay under.

I have been working on some new paintings recently that have been expanding on a number of ideas that I have explored before. One portion I have been loosely calling Shapes on Wood. (Super creative I know) these two went to the Art Pop event at Taylors Milwaukee September 27th 2015. The blue one happens to be the first pattern that I created a vector for and then laser cut the pattern, the other one features a hand cut stenciled pattern which is how I have been creating all the other patterns up until this point.
The blue pattern of squares is also a small test for much larger project that I have been working on. Photos to follow soon.
I made a set of silverware with stainless steel, anodized aluminum and nickle silver rivets. I learned a ton on this project. and it was my first time using steel or aluminum.
I love painting letters, so this project was a lot of fun. Earn The Day is the motto for the client,and it just so happens that I feel the same way, which makes it even better. 
These game pieces are the tools of the trade for the as of yet imaginary game “King the City” the graffiti monopoly game.
each of these was cast from carved wax and plastic. I think that I was really able to capture the grit and grime of the city, including the areas where you often find graffiti.
These were fun to make.
