I’m still tracing backwards to the source of everything and where I left off was drawings. How to translate drawings and drawing styles into the 3rd dimension and the brief obsession I had with this trying to get other people’s drawing styles translated into 3D physical objects. It had dawned on me that I needed more drawings to pull from for reference. What I hadn’t really clued into yet was it…
So working my way backwards from the end, I was talking about 3D printing and how the dilemma I faced was what do I 3D print? Well luckily prior to learning how to 3D print I had done quite a bit of 3D modeling using blender. I learned to take stuff I or others had previously made and repurpose it for 3D printing. Besides a few rare experiments here and there though I rarely could produce…
And of course just explaining a thing is not sufficient. Where's the history? Where's the back story? How did it come to be? Over the course of the next couple of posts I hope to outline the various pieces that shaped this project and the questions that lead to the next part. By the end of it, I will have some sort of gattai mecha (megazord) that is little weirdos. One lens to view this is via 3D…
I know this will take several post's to explain but lets do the elevator pitchy one and then move from there: Little Weirdo's is an exploration of the translation and transformation of hand drawn ideas into physical objects. This is what the original little weirdo's project was about and it had kind of strict rules and ideas behind it. The goal was to every week for a year come up with an idea via…
It feels like there's a lot of setup to finally get to the reason I started this blog, however, I am kindly reminding myself that all of this matters. All of this is the blog. Building a solid foundation is key and an awareness of what this is and what writing and interacting with the internet has been is super helpful to me. I want this to last and be a meaningful experience so looking at things…
Address Me Why I am I writing about demons again? Embarking on a new blog, it's important for me to recognize my relationship with the internet, to understand my personal flaws and demons so I can work on them and have an authentic experience writing from the heart. To remember what mistakes I've made and challenges I've faced, to let you and myself know that yes, there are elephants in the room.…
So now that I have one demon: wanting attention, as I discovered in my previous post, I can address it plainly and feed it. "Hello demon, you need attention let me give it to you." I think what I failed to mention in the previous post was the meal I like to cook for this demon is self love. Very potent for satiating this one. Now lets talk more about social media experiences, there are other…
To fully begin I want to address my experience with blogs in the past. Mainly focusing on why did I stop writing, what was the platform and the experience like, and maybe how this time will be different. I actually remember starting a blog in junior year of high school. This was on the platform Live Journal, which to my surprise, is still around and my old blog exists in its entirety, sans images.…
Getting the gears going here. This constitutes the flight check for the airplane that is already in the air and being built while it's flying. I wanted to start off by sharing gratitude as a way to ground this electrical storm. I am a certified grumbler sometimes so it's best if I challenge myself to express positivity and to be connected by it. I am grateful for having a body that is willing and…
We are so back! I love writing and I've wanted to try my hand at a blog again for awhile but it would always turn into a project of what the blog would look like, what platform would it be on, what features would it have... X platform doesn't have Y feature? I guess I should look into how to build my own blog. Wait what drama is going on right now on Z platform? Better not use that. This is…
