Art, Nature, Engineering, & Making shit up as I go

The juxtoposition and combination of these interests relaxes me, opens my mind to new possibilities, and keeps me sane.

I have created many things with 3D printing. However, below I am showcasing things that I both designed and printed. Some simple, others more complex. All however, were created to solve a problem.

I print mostly in PLA, for the best results with my printer; which is a Monoprice Select Mini v2.

Backup Camera

Designed a magnetic camera enclosure to provide a zero-drill solution for ease of installation.

Printer Mods

Designed and built a more accessible LCD and control knob enclosure for my printer.

Drain Extension

Needed to design and fabricate a fitting for our shower to raise the level of the drain to sit flush with the tile.

Settlers Game

Snap-tegether variation on Settlers of Catan that could be easily played in moving vehicles.

Shelf Brackets

Whipped up a couple of brackets to create a shelf nect to our front door.
Simple, but functional.

When I have the time and energy, I love to experiment with food. Here is an example of one that I made up as I was going:

In addition to three-dimensional making, I also enjoy letting my imagination run wild through other mediums.

I have, and always will, love art.

Concept Art

Created concept art for a fantasy novel I want to write. I am in the process of writing/drawing out the backstory.

The general setting here is a set of three Earths, where each has an intelligent dominant species analogous to humans. The magic system is based around physics and organic chemistry; related to the manipulation of solid and liquid matter.

Plot premise:
Roughly, the idea here was that alternative earths are found in order to provide the humans of Earth Prime non-renewable resources that we otherwise may have already depleted. In the process, discovering magical capabilities on these worlds which does not and cannot exist in the world as we know it.

The plot of my story is set within the third earth discovered, and will detail the journey of a family of human colonists on a strange new world.

Pictured here are some of my sketches, these are rather incomplete drafts of how I think some of the caracters will look. I am a very visual person, and I want to be able to picture what I write about before I start writing.
The Tree-folk pictured inhabit the third earth. Inspired by primates and humans, but more the size and build of a halfling.
Humans are as we expect them to be. the side-by-side image shows what I had towards the end of 2021 vs the beginning... it's not perfect, but my drawing skills are improving!
