Just finished this custom carpet tufting frame for a friend!
Definitely the biggest thing I've built in my balcony workshop. Fun project, but definitely going to have to keep things small for future commissions. 😅

You are probably one of the few people that can actually see what I did here, in fact!

Hey BlueSky!
Here's proof that I do, in fact, still make games. =3
This relaunch marks my return to tabletop games. This time without crowdfunding.

It's a big milestone and it will enable me and my business partner to finish more cool stuff we have been sitting on.

Here's another peek at some furniture. I worked on #macbeth at A Noise Within theater in Pasadena!

I drafted the technical drawing, performed the finish carpentry, and painted the wood grain. The full set is four of these, one longer bench, and a matching table!

Quick crafting project using some of the refuse from the windstorms here in Pasadena.

Work in progress on a frosted LED cross for a local production of Macbeth.
100% of this is my design, build, and engineering based on the set designer's rough sketch.

Painting will be finished by me after install.

A little throwback to my sculpting work for "The Piano Lesson" at A Noise Within theater in Pasadena.

I did all of the concept art, drafting, sculpting, and painting for three custom panels panels carved out of rigid foam for the titular piano!

As the resident set designer of the household, I'm the one that cycles out our table decorations every season. (With input from the rest of the house)

This was my very simple, very cheap setup for the winter holiday season.

POV:
You are a scenic artist, so you need to Set Design your living space.
...and you make your own shelving and furniture because nothing in the stores goes hard enough for your fantasy tavern fever dreams.

A little bit of 20 minute concept sketches for a #shortfilm I'm chipping away at.

It is the story of a humble #bard doing their best to bring joy and hope to a #postappcalyptic #fantasy #wasteland .

Greetings, Blue Sky!
My name is Aven. And I make stuff. Usually #boardgames 🎲, #scenic art 🎨, and #props 🔫 in that order.

I am also an accomplished #bard 🎸, which is to say I play and compose music for LIVE audiences and interactive shows. Crowd work is my jam. 🎶
