Sorry for the radio silence. I’ve been out and about animating a big new thing for the big new Disney store in Time Square. It’s half awesome and half awful. If you’re ever in that neighborhood and happen to glance Disney-ward (not that I’d recommend it) you’ll be able to decide for yourself.

Everybody loves T-Rex, though the mix of tender admiration and outright fear can get a bit muddy at times. If you prefer your Tyrannosaurus dead, as opposed to roaming free during a tropical storm on a dinosaur island, you may care for these little T-Rex Skull pendants, cufflinks, earrings, and rings. They’re fancy and completely immune to the effects of chaos theory.
Remember the days of the enormous terrible lizards.

I adore stylish branding and packaging. I don’t often indulge in pricey products, being a starving artist and all, but satiate my object lust through ffffound, Notcot, and Core77. Now that I’m operating my own store, I figure it’s my duty to pump out as many sleek, addictive, catchy, and above all awesome things into it as possible.

I’m releasing a new design up on Sleek and Destroy. If you’ve ever wanted to adorn your wrists with something meme-tastic, sensational, and entirely geeky they might just be your bag. If cufflinks aren’t quite your style, you might consider courage wolf earrings, pendants, or rings.

It’s kind of exciting as I never actually saw Epic Movie and never had much of a chance to see the finished prop in action. Video after the jump.

While operating the laser cutters over at Eyebeam I came up with what I think to be my greatest idea yet. Who hasn’t looked at the world and thought “This needs a good riffing”? You can find my files on Thingiverse to cut out and enjoy.

A few months back I got an incredible set of printing blocks from my friend Liz. She’d taken a trip to India, bargained hard, and snagged these incredibly lovely ornate printing blocks for just a few dollars.
I have a huge collection of patterns. I visit Lost and Taken and Repper fairly often and have built up quite a store of resources over the years. I feel like I should give something back.

Here’s a vase I printed out using my Parametric Vase Suite. Bre Pettis was instrumental in getting this one to print. He fooled around a bit with Skeinforge and found that the intersecting shapes generated by the Suite could be printed using a single strand wall thickness. I’m mightily impressed with the results.
