Hot damn day! heading to the pool at 2 which i hope will be a lot cooler. doing laps though so it wont be a leisurely cool down.

Didi some new tweaks to the portfolio this week. No big changes however made things more consistent with my homepage. Now the portfolio looks like it fits a lot better. also the homepage has 2 new random images… need to keep clicking to see them all!

Its here! Finally after 5 years of blabbing about it the robot tattoo is underway. Getting done by Chad down at Sanitary Electric Tattoo. Love the design… asked for a retro / steam-punk type robot and that’s what i got! Outline and shading done… next session’s the color.

Fractals & Quotes

admin — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 02:01:48 +0000

Went to the Pecha Kucha presentations the other night and had a great time. My friends who do Rollout custom wallpaper nailed their presentation. Another presentation that stood out was Sergio Toporek twist on spiritual / scientific directed art. Not some much into the spiritual stuff but quite the interesting perspectives in the flows and fractals of physics driven art.

It also could have been he worked in one of my favorite quotes (laws) by Arthur C. Clarke “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” Good talk and strange ideas! Heres another great quote (from Star Diaries) by my top author to read;

“The whole plan hinged upon the natural curiosity of potatoes.” – Lem.

As most plans always have in the past!

Camping 09!

Just got back from a rainy camping trip to Mount Robson. Didn’t see the sun at all… but it was still ok… lots of huddling around campfires and beer. Plus one hike. Here’s some flickr action; http://www.flickr.com/photos/rand_w/

Aside from the weather the place was a really good camping spot…

Glass Rayguns

Check out this amazing glass blown rayguns by Joe Blow… he does a lot of nice work! I love that blue stub nose gun with the mirrored surface inside the guns core… nice stuff!

Sweet, sweet vintage!

admin — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 07:42:57 +0000

Had some good book scores as of late. check out these two vintage covers; Lem’s Memoirs of a space traveler and Starburst. Lem’s is pour eighties goodness and about as bizarre as the stories within. Starburst is even older… got to love the retro rockets…

the biggest find however was Fiasco another rare Lem. Been looking for it a while know… some small book shop had a copy for $3. Ha think the guy didn’t really know what he had.

Sweet cyberpunk

Can’t wait for this show to come westward…
Sleep Dealers looks to be a fine merger of a future world and Haldemans Forever Peace (with out the full military thing happening). Much better than that crappy looking The Day The Earth Stood Still remake. Blah horrible.

And to top things off feast upon
Dr. Grordbort’s assorted steampunk rayguns. There’s a pistol for all occasions.
