My latest coaster experiment of silver spray paint with black gesso. It's so much easier to handle and apply than the Minwax black wood filler, which was not even close to true black. This will be my new go-to method for silver and glow-in-the-dark batches.
One failed experiment with hi-viz green and glow-in-th-dark spray paint. I used the wrong urethane in them which is why they look like radioactive green tomatoes! These will probably go to a bar I don't like very much!
I got my performer's license for another year, presuming arthritic pain doesn't have other plans.
My latest batch of glow in the dark coasters that'll go out before the end of the summer.
Glad I caught the gig at The Hotel Vernon this past weekend. I got to reconnect and catch up with an old MassArt friend and another from Worcester. Oh yeah, my stickers are still up! Check out the music of Bastion Void and Neptune if you haven't already.
My first track is published on my Subvert page! Look for me on subvert.fm
So I tried glow in the dark paint, now I wanted to see what high-viz green would do. It works, but kinda disappointed in the wood filler, though.
Of course, I had to ask AI what its take on it was. It either agrees with my take and/or has been spying on me long enough to build on its LLM.
Here's the first batch of glow in the dark coasters that will most likely make their way out to Cambridge before the end of the month!
First, the good news. This is what glow in the dark paint looks like in the dark with this design. The bad news is this is what it looks like when the lights are on.
I made some experiments with glow in the dark paint with a new design, and I think I just found my limited edition coasters.
Here's the go-bag I put together for homeless people, including the soap container I designed and 3D printed. I remember staring destitution down in the face, and you never forget it.
I got out to JP Open Studios this weekend, and got coasters and cards around! Cambridge and Somerville are next!
Here's my new and hopefully improved 3D printed soap dish that will go out to homeless folks made with glow in the dark filament!
I had some fun with the step sequencer in Logic Pro X that I didn't even know it had!
I got some laser cuts done, and these will be getting it there before the month is out.
I got a dozen of these out to Want List Records, and they were very happy to receive them before walking to Wanna Hear It in Watertown. I'm hoping it will open the doors to a more regular exchange of upcycled schwag.
I got this year's license to play on the T, and I think I'm done trying to get a flattering ID photo.
Another weekend where I got to make quick work out of scrap material!
I just liberated another stack of coasters of their painter's tape. Gonna sand and get them urethaned before the end of the weekend.
I got a lot of laser cutting done this past weekend, and gonna get back to work on actual music now that I'm ahead of that curve.
The next batch of black satin stained A101 coasters got their final top coat of urethane on them!
I got my amp back from the shop, and I'm ready to play out again, presuming the weather, back pain, and sciatica don't have other plans.
Been working on this over the weekend, and I'm aiming to get it done and uploaded in the next month.
I got three more pieces of scrap plywood with the black satin treatment ready for the laser cutter!
I just got it, and I'll never leave home without it. Thank you American Atheists!
I made the owner of a local coffee shop really happy this morning on a cold, shitty Monday!
