At last the Olympians Festival gallery show has been taken down and I’ve retrieved my pieces from the curator. This means that I finally have the opportunity to take better product photos than my rather sad rushed attempt during my hand-off to the gallery. As I already have a buyer for Dionysus I was rather […]
The design for my holiday treat boxes has finalized, the materials purchased and all the cutting and printing completed! With the date so far past christmas I ultimately decided to completely redesign the look of them, cutting out the christmasy striped pattern I’d originally settled on and moving on to a cloud pattern. Initially I’d […]
It’s been a while since I updated with an Evil Overlord’s poster so I thought it was about time to add another. At this rate it’s gonna take me quite some time to get through all 100 rules! Rule 26 is up next and for this one I decided to play up the femme fatale […]
With the craziness of the Holidays I somehow completely lost track of time and haven’t posted in over a week! As usual when it comes to the holidays I’m behind schedule.

Still working on those Treat Boxes I’m hoping to finish in time for Christmas. A few days ago I spent some time laser cutting some prototypes to get the cut on the boxes just right. My initial design had a shocking number of flaws in it. Some of them were more subtle and expected […]
I have a huge obsession with hand-pies. Sweet pies are wonderful but my love extends even into savory pies that can be had for any meal. I started with more traditional hand-pie, half circles stuffed with filling and baked on a cookie sheet. Last year however, after promising two different pie flavors to my friends […]
Every year I get a little crazy for the holidays. I love to give gifts and my aspirations always exceed my time, budget and abilities. Usually what happens is that I make some grand plan for a homemade gift I’ll make for everyone I know, obsess over all the details right up until it proves […]
Some of my coworkers at Techshop participated in the recent Flugtag event here in San Francisco. As part of the event they gave away T-shirts to everyone who came to support their team- Pthe Ptechshop Pteronuats. They also wanted to add a little something extra to their costumes. Carlo is a great designer so he […]
