This captures power conduits that draw attention through striking contrast and effective light usage, taken on Dempster Street. The interplay between the metal surfaces and shadowed bricks creates a stark urban aesthetic.
This is a first for me - a vape commission. First problem was needing some material to attach all the embellishments. I wrapped the thin magnetic side panels with brass strips and then sealed the brass and titanium panel with a thin resin pour. I then crafted two layers of balsa wood to fit snuggly in the form. If I had to do it over, I would have picked a stronger material - like a 3D print. Next time.
I wanted a window to add depth and reveal a gear train mechanism. That alone took hours of layering vintage brass gears in the ring. I want it to look like a real machine so I try to avoid "orphan" gears. I've used glow in the dark pigment in resin under the mesh grills, brass panels and in the glass tube. Easy to charge using a UV torch. The rest is a cacophony of vintage crowns, brass tubing, miscellaneous beads, screws, pins, wire, struts and textured elements. There is even a little glass mercury switch.
I've had to take time off this year so this was a real challenge to start building again. I'm happy to answer any questions about the project. My client is happy with the result but I warned him that it is fragile.

I call this art "After the Summit".
When I look at this creation of mine I remember about every time that I managed to overcome something and for there to be a bigger, much more monumental path ahead. Just about when I hit the peak for there only to be worlds of unknown territory that I would have to go through if I am to keep moving forward.
Here I am trying to make a path out in the dark abstract in order to find the light..Now go and listen to my "hidden throb" experimental music record that serves as context to these arts. Link Above.
Rizó nyomatok frissen a gyárból!
Gyár 1 - városi látképe és Gyár 2 - ültetvényvasútja
Mindig ki akartam próbálni a rizográfiát és végre sikerült! Az illusztrációkhoz a kedvenc témámat, az ipari látképet választottam, tele vonatokkal, gőzzel, füsttel és téglaépületekkel. Ha az egyiket vagy másikat, esetleg mindkettőt hazavinnéd a faladra, üzenetben érdeklődj. A nyomatok 4-színből állnak, méretük 17×17cm és a csodás Hurrikan Press-ben készültek.
Risoprints hot off the press!
I always wanted to try risography, and finally I've decided to give it a go and here is the result. I started with my favourite theme, industrial scenes. Full of tains, brick buildings, chimneys, one set in town one in jungle.
The prints are looking for a new cozy home, so message me for details if you would like to own one or both. Print size is 17×17cm.
Thank you for @hurrikanpress for these beautiful 4 colors riso prints.
