I've been playing with 2 part epoxy resin for a while now, but here's my attempt at a 3D baby sea turtle hatchling, made by painting on a thin layer of hardened resin, letting it dry, and repeating for 8 layers. What do you guys think? To give it an ocean feel, I used a large lion's paw seashell, which would hold the resin. I then sketched out how I wanted the turtle hatchling to look. I wanted it to feel like you were holding a real turtle hatchling in your hand. I used tran

This item is for sale at my Etsy Store! Also available at Redbubble. As a lazy person, I found it annoying that I was never sure if the dishes were clean or dirty. So to procrastinate actually cleaning the dishes, I made a graphic that is magnetic to my dishwasher and reversible. One way it reads "clean" and the other way it reads "dirty". Here it is in action: And a few more detail photos: Just to show the scale of it: At work on my dishwasher!: It took a lot of trial and er

Since I was in High School, I liked making little painted animal rocks based off of art found in the book The Art of Painting Animals on Rocks by Lin Wellford. Some farm animals that I had available for sale at a local trade show. A replica of a family's kitty A replica of a family's new puppy Likewise, I created painted rocks of Disney characters:

This suggestion came from my parents, who had a vintage carousel whirlygig as decoration in their home since I was a kid. After all the laser cutting I've been doing recently, they suggested I recreate the Historic Carousel and Museum in Albany with laser cutouts of the animals they feature. It wasn't difficult to set up the design, and once it was cut it was only a matter of printing the animal designs onto the pieces. Here's how the pieces looked before I printed the art on

The coolest part of Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild for me is definitely the dragons. They're immense, powerful and mysterious, and I wanted to create art of the dragons that I could hang on my wall. I've had a 7"x7" block of wood laying around my house, wondering what to do with it, and finally it clicked that I should make a trio print of all the dragons. Starting with Dinraal, I made a vector outline, which I would use as a base for creating the other dragons as well.

Eeyore is the famous donkey from Disney's 100-acre-woods, and one of the best friends of Winnie the Pooh. You've maybe heard of people painting their pets on rocks, or other various animals - why not paint animals from various movies? Eeyore one of many Disney characters I've immortalized in stone.

If there's any homage to Wall-E, it should include something from the garden. And while a planter would probably be more appropriate, a birdhouse fit his shape better. So without further ado, here's Wall-E as a birdhouse.

It's quite a bit of nostalgia to sit and watch the trilogy of the live-action 90's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies, and what else does one think of when those turtles come to mind? PIZZA! With just 3 Digiorno Pizza boxes, I created this scene featuring Michelangelo, Donatello, Raphael, and Leonardo, in front of the iconic New York skyscrapers. Here are a few detail shots: Curious about the creation? Here's an example of one of the boxes with their shapes cut out:

If Skyrim masks existed in the real world, it would only make sense that there be Mountain Dew cans involved. I decided to deem this mask as 'Rahgot', because of the +70 stamina...and it's green. A template to make your own can be bought at Etsy.

Sometimes, when stuck in a slightly irritating situation such as a verbal disagreement, or becoming stuck in a traffic jam, I'll ask myself, "What would Michael Weston do?" While it's never likely that the answer is ever to peel out, blow something up, or kidnap a drug mogul, it's at least nice to acknowledge the super cool spy lifestyle that only exists on television and USA's Burn Notice.
