Glued! Cut!

Water jetted, to be precise. The foam is already glued on to the back by now. I'll put a vid up tomorrow...till then, here it is cut out...

...now all that remains is to finish painting the back and sides black, and adding the mounting brackets.

Painted!

Well, paint started. Painted the holes on the foam first, prior to gluing onto the perspex...

Some Work on Carbonmade...

I resurrected and old Carbonmade site and out some more of my work up there...

...if you're really that bored, go check it out ;]

Printed!

It's been printed for a while now, but only just getting around to posting the pics - still need to scan the old sketches too.

Waiting for a quote from the laser cutters to cut it out - looks like it's going to be cut by water jet, so I'll have to be careful about what glue I use and what exactly I do on the back.

So, next post will either be all cut out, or of the old sketches. Not quite hanging on a wall yet, but we're getting there!

Sod it, while I'm up and in the mood, may as well post one of the final images up - this is the first design that I'll be getting printed - looking at options and getting quotes right now - next time I post this, hopefully it'll be a real photo of it hanging on a wall?!

Ok, here's a few images from the early stages. Just to get the ball rolling. I'll try to get around to scanning the initial pen sketches in, since they were where it all started....

Yeah, scanned 'em, about 6 months ago, so now I'm going back in time to post them into this post, so it looks like I have my five h one t together or something....

First post

So, I've been calling myself an 'artist' for a good 20 years now, but it's only recently occurred to me that I've not once in that time ever produced anything that I would even consider calling a 'work of art'.

I've decided that I'd best sort that out, and I've nearly finished my first piece, just a matter of final production now. I'll be posting a load of the prep work for that, along with the final piece(s) once it\they is\are finished!

Then, hopefully a load more!

Thanks for listening.
