From Audriono to Zoopraxiscopes.

I decided to build my own arc reactor, as the ones made by others online were either too bulky, or required some silly way of attaching it to the chest.

For the past few days I have just been fascinated by Audriono microcontrollers and using them to make awesome sweaters or shirts like this iron man inspired one in the video.

and zoopraxiscopes where you can have different frames of animations on a wheel and spin it around to give the illusion of movement which gives me some inspiring cd design ideas.

T-shirt design for Charity: Water contest. Based on the water cycle and African prints. Wanted to create a unisex shirt design that people will buy because if it wins 100% of the profit goes into building water wells in villages without access to clean water. Frankly I think it's a damn shame that in our developed world full of time wasting "technology" that most people don't even have a water that is sanitary and safe. I have donated to water.org last year and now charity:water recently and here are some other sites along with my design that you can vote, check out,or give feedback! :)

(These sites not only build wells but teach people how to maintain it if breaks just like the saying: "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.")

I'm gonna see this movie. Reminds me of "Where The Wild Things Are. The overall setting reminds me of my dad, his family in southern Louisiana, and stories in broken creole french my grandma Evelyn and great grandpa Gallow told us when we were little. I hope it's good.

I chose the name SepiaLights after it came to me looking at a hanging light fixture in the dining room. It has these small glass specks and each light is cupped into a glass light holder facing up. I wasn't wearing my contacts or glasses at the time and the reflected light in the glass specks look similar to the bokeh in the picture. Reminded me of some sort of romantic enchanted rustic fused with steampunk idea I once had lol!
