A kinetic piece I finished in 2022. This doesn't have a title (yet) but it falls under an abstract 'Satellite-Jellyfish' theme that persists in my mind.

Finishing the octopus webbing between the arms. A few more details will get added before it's finished then onto a squid.

Sketches for a commission and a frame template that's coming to life. A few of the things on my plate this week.

Something a bit different; I’m working on an arduino library to quickly, and easily, generate a scrolling menu. You can define the labels, width, height, vertical/horizontal, colors, and a few more parameters that can grow.

Added the last bits to this Elk and Ponderosa Pine scene yesterday. This piece is a commission symbolizing triumph over challenge, past and present.

A better view of this freeform, sound analyzer creation.

The ear can be rotated, the sensitivity and rotation of the bar graph can be modified via buttons. 🔊

Hope to finish the soldering on this today so I can actually find out if it works.

Final assembly of this custom thruster test station / air quality monitor. This will become available in the near future. 🚀

Military chiefs from most NATO and EU countries met in Paris yesterday to discuss new security arrangements. The US wasn’t invited.

It was a closed door meeting and there’s been no announcement of outcome but with both Australia and Japan in attendance we seem to be seeing a new alliance forming.

Here is a Cosmosoma myrodora, or scarlet bodied wasp moth. I think I've seen these here in Georgia, but can't be certain.

I’m working on the Crooked Countdown Clock. It's crooked, it's hard to watch, and you can see right through it.

Here is a peek at the air quality monitor / thruster test station. I'll just leave this small morsel and will go into more verbose details when it's done. I've bounced on and off this piece since late last year.
