Recovering tech founder making neon and plasma art ⚡️ and other fun things 🎨

Also, I just got some new color phosphors to play with, and my kid got her Bluey potty training sticker journey..

Forgot to post this earlier because I had to figure out how to get under the 50MB file limit without looking blurry, but here's a little behind-the-scenes vlog of how I made the rainbow plasma panel! 🌈

Check out this crazy magic I discovered in the studio today! 🤯

Neon with blue and green phosphors! Phosphors are not as strong as they’d be with other gasses but you can still see it and it’s really rad.

One fun thing about plasma art is seeing how different pieces can interact with each other. I’m not science-y enough to fully explain what’s totally going on here (especially within the character limit), but it’s super cool!

Plasma mystery! 🕵🏻 This concha seems to hold a vacuum and it powers up with a single electrode transformer. However it doesn't power up with transformers for two electrode pieces.

Maybe the path is blocked in the glass? I'm a bit stumped.

It may not be as exciting as finished work, but the experiments are still important.

Now that I’ve made a few plasma panels on my own, I’m figuring out different ways to make the process smoother for myself. We’ll see what happens! 🤓

I made a backup of this piece in case one went awry, but both made it and I filled this with krypton gas!

I love how twitchy krypton can be. I'm looking forward to adding more phosphors to my work since that adds more color possibilities.

📢 Just listen to those raw buzzy sounds. ⚡ Filled the second (back up) anime piece I mentioned yesterday! This is a mix of krypton and neon.

While I like the look of the first piece better, I like how much more interactive this second one is.

Another work in progress: my second/backup anime panel. If all goes well going to play around with a different gas mixture with this one.

Work in progress: Concha (Mexican pastry) version 3. Love working with the pink glass! Hoping to fill with neon gas, maybe will experiment with krypton too.

Anatomy textbooks have included and excluded this body part over time, so I figured I’d… uh, point it out to them again.

Glass screenprinted an image from an old medical textbook, then lit the whole thing up in neon.

My favorite plasma piece yet! Ever since I saw boro beads in plasma panels I’ve been wanting to experiment with creating a manga/comic book feel. Pretty happy with this one. Hoping to experiment with different characters and expressions.

New year, time to vacuum test some pieces.

Another oldie but goodie for #ArtAdventCalendar Day 16: That time I photographed a bunch of greek houses at Dartmouth and some of them got published in the alumni magazine.

This is one of my favorites from the Panarchy basement.

Day 15 #ArtAdventCalendar is an oldie but goodie, a large-ish (2'x3') charcoal drawing of two teapots. 🫖🫖

This was part of an assignment to experiment with inanimate objects. I enjoyed playing with the reflection from the super shiny teapot.

Day 13 #ArtAdventCalendar by request from the kiddo I’ve added the humble donkey to the animal bath tub crayon mural.

Just got some green sapote seeds and going to try to grow a tree… maybe it’ll eventually fruit, maybe it’ll die. Who knows if you don’t try right? #exoticfruit

Day 12 #ArtAdventCalendar is when I got a chance to learn how to make plasma art from Wayne Strattman, one of the OGs of plasma.

I made the glass figures inside and Wayne made the container using a glass lathe and filled. Gas mixture is his secret recipe, what he uses for his giant plasma globes.

Day 10 #ArtAdventCalendar is "Head in the Clouds", an early neon piece—argon gas, x-ray image, and acrylic paint.

If you see the close up image, the argon is actually beading in the tube!

Also I'm realizing that a lot of my art lately has been brain or fish related... 🧠🐟

Day 8 #ArtAdventCalendar didn’t have time to post earlier because of kiddo’s birthday, so here’s a goat wearing sunglasses under a rainbow that I drew for the growing crayon animal mural in the bath tub.

Day 7 #ArtAdventCalendar is my first time rug tufting. Image is Oliver Hibert's "In Her Own Rainbow Of Doom" because I wanted something I'd hang on my wall—and I wanted a challenge because the person at the studio didn't believe I'd complete it in under 3 hours 🙃

Day 6 #ArtAdventCalendar is more fishies!

This is a fused glass panel filled with krypton and argon gas. There are also glass beads in-between that are painted with different color phosphors that glow. Powered with an 8KV transformer. 😎⚡
