Cyborg Kisses

I took the night off of programming in order to work on some unfinished art projects. I finally bought the material needed for the elmwood banner. Unfortunately, I am not all so sure about how to cut out the letters or sew them. I have a sewing machine but I have no interest in it any more.

I went with rip-chord nylon flag material. I decided on a whiet 12 ft x 3 ft banner with black courier font lowercase "elmwoodstrip.com" It will look like a newspaper headline. I'm probably going to simply hang it off the house.

I also worked on some modeling projects I had put off.

Here are some new renders of cyborg kisses. I am thinking about making larger posters of these masks.

>>update - I never intended this to look like spiderman. In fact I really did not know what spiderman looked like. I just thought he was red. Matthew says it looks like him and now I feel dumb, if everyone thinks that is what I was going for.

Go Away Television

I think this would make a great advertisement for the site. The map in the background is of deleware park and elmwood area. I want a remote control like this that would zap televsions dead on contact. Kind of like an overpowered remote or a TV taser.

I really believe most of the problems that we experience as a society could be dealt with if we would just throw away all of the televsions.

I am Officially Jealous Of Julie

You all know how much I love it here on Elmwood but I am quite jealous of Julie [inlink]churchofjulie,31[/inlink]. I would like to be traveling in Alaska. I remember my travel days in Europe. It was so fun to see another side of the world without any sort of fitting it in to any one else's schedule. Argh, I wonder if you will ever come back.

Old Style

Every week I mow the lawn at my nonna's house
with this old machine. Two years ago, I had it sharpend but it didn't
make it any easier. Last week, I added sewing machine oil. What a
difference, now it mows again.

How is it that I am the most high tech man I know and I am cutting with
this old machine. Nonna calls it old style. Sometimes, I like it
because its the only physical labor I do. It makes me feel strong is
some way.

I mean, I could high tech it and bring over some fancy, electrical,
cutters, but I won't, I need something to ground me

More Fun from class

Today went well, I think everyone seemed interested in the cemetary idea and excited about 3D modeling.

Here is my test render from class.

I am starting to teach a new class

Starting this morning at 11, I will begin teaching a new class I created called DMA 386 - Modeling Physical Environments for Real-time. I am going to be teaching the students to identify important data when exploring an environment with the intention of recreating it digitally.

image

The physical location I have chosen is Forest Lawn Cemtetary which has a really lame website by the way. We will eb traveling there and measuring, taking phtos, grave rubbings, scans, sketches, etc. Then we will collect all the data and rebuild a specific site in 3D. It seems like it will be an exciting class to teach.
