Stefan G. Bucher is a wonderful graphic artist who among many things has created hundreds of lovable monsters.

I got the opportunity to model one of his creations along with his input and turn it into a tutorial mini publication available on SketchUcation, model included.

This guy was a blast to model. Here is a rendering with Twilight.

I got a new (used) C trumpet yesterday. I have always wanted a C trumpet and now I have one. No longer do I have to transpose while playing out of a hymnal or looking over the shoulder of a piano player. Playing hymns with my family yesterday was worth the purchase price alone.

That is my dog Sadie checking it out as well.

Here is a link to a test animation created in SketchUp, rendered with Twilight and compiled in Windows Live Movie Maker.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5M3Ha5zJFok

This was an exhausting exercise in layer management that only produced a 2 second choppy animation. For a smooth 2 second animation I would need at least 60 layers, this only had 20. Still it was a fun learning experience. I learned more about SU and Twilight as well.

Ceiling

2011-09-01T19:00:00.003-05:00

About 14 years ago I did a ceiling painting for one of my best friends. He had a basement in a rental that he used for his drum set and a party room. A full basement with a bathroom and all. He allowed me to paint whatever I wanted. He eventually painted it over when he left as it was just a rental.
Being a huge, dare I say the biggest, Van Halen fan I knew what I wanted to paint immediately. Combining the Van Halen Hand Sign with the Frankenstein paint scheme on Eddie's guitar, I came up with this. During the unveiling I marched him blindfolded into the basement, had him lay on the ground face up, put in his favorite VH song, blasted it on and he went nuts.

Ah, good times.

Continuous 08

2011-08-31T13:40:00.000-05:00

I have been battling depression all my life. I am in the middle of a pretty bad bout right now and have no reason. Furthermore I don't see this Continuous theme continuing much longer. The inspiration is just gone. We'll see what plays out. Maybe I will go back to doing borders. I have a feeling the Angry Tubers are all done too.
Sorry for the mood.

Bookcase Clip - Corners

2011-08-24T08:02:00.003-05:00

I really don't have plans for these pieces I just wanted to share an idea I had. Not too practical IMO as they would not be sturdy enough to hold much weight, unless they were made from titanium :)
