Hey 128... do you sell your prints?

Thank you

I just uploaded some new tracks to my myspace.

I don't really have too much art I've done this past semester because all I got to take were product design classes. Here's some stuff I did last year in design (not product design):







Sorry they're not "in progress" but I've got nothing else to show atm. My girlfriend took some photos of my paintings, so when I find them I'll throw em up.

Don't you dare call it art :


I bear no responsibilty for this, I just lit it is all.

I wonder if that excuse will get you out of a drug bust with the cops...

i actually went through all 11 pages. good good good stuff. i am suprised at the high amount of talent here.

so uh...i am a furniture maker/designer. here a few recent items. the first two are of a chair(duh), the others are prototypes for a letter holder. enjoy.

Wow, those are awesome! And you used felt too, that makes it doubly awesome. Is that wool or synthetic?

thanks! as far as i can remember the felt is F3 quality. which means that it has a higher wool content. i was trying to find a way to work within the realm of sustainability. wool is an excellent material for the job. the cool thing about felt is that it can go from being extremely stiff(think masonite) to floppy and all over the place(think dishrag)

Definately. There's also the recyclability factor, which could eliminate factory waste by continually carding the excess and refelting it.

Something I want to try but is completely unsustainable: wool biocomposite.

Probably would work best pouring the resin over a loosely knit piece rather than felt though...

i have some extras. pm me if you are interested in anything.

That chair's really nice. But is it comfortable?

comfortable? yes
ive read 100+ pages in one sitting on it.
i also use it to work do work from the laptop.
it looks very angular but it uses the easy 105 degree angle with about 1-2deg pitch in the seat to relieve your knees and feet.

My latest digital design assignment: create an image with over 150 objects

Kinda looks like Hans Bellmer's sketches, but non-representational. Beautiful.

@ kludge— love the thought behind those letter holders. I was trying to source some thick felt for some ID projects; where did you find yours?

it's nice that knowing rules of ergonomics/user interaction lets you pretend to break them— often leading to a 'eureka!' moment when a user realizes that the object is actually remarkably useful.

thanks a lot! the letter holders were my attempt at sustainable design. I have to bring this up becuase part of the reason felt became an attractive material to use was it's wide availability at a local level. I am in the bay area, the one place that has never let me down is Pacific Felt and Mnfg. I believe that they can go up to 2 inches thick. If you go over to them or call them up with your problem(if you get one of the more relaxed folks) they will listen and most likely provide more than enough samples to get you going(if you request samples). Another good place to check out is Darcoid Rubber and Seal CO. I dont know how they are for felt but they have the best prices I have seen for Die cutting. If you want to ship stuff, try US Felt. they are on the web. the only bad thing about US Felt is that you have to know exactly what you want(thickness, quality) or you wont get any where.

An easy solution is simply to make your own though. That's what I've done.

i wanted to post something here since i don't have myspace:<a href="https://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v641/SethSypko/maddogs.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a>

edit: i forgot how to do the image thing...

here ya go...cool too!

i ran across some old pics of my first attempts at performance... here are some shots of one of the components staged up. in the end there was a complete intallation of various object built around people this is the one i wore... so long ago... it was called inbedded

jinx4 - thanks for the help

View camera, or is there a progressive blur tool on PS I don't know of?

neither.

I'm a photo editor in my spare time, as well as o n my own time, for my own art. That blur effect was done in ps.
