Excuisite and Moderately Priced Klockwerks by Roger Wood

My first reaction to Wood's clocks was how pretty they all are, my second was that they were probably very expensive (and rightfully so, these are some inspired clocks) so when I saw that most were under $400.00, well there was a little jaw dropping. There is supposedly (supposedly because their web link seems dead but sometimes the internet is a fickle beast) Tacoma based store called The Art Shop that carries some of these gems which means an upclose gander may be in the near future. In the mean time I'll just gaze at klockwerks.com and wish that Santa

Silver Urn & Pewter Frog

For the next 6 mos. - 1 year I am working on designing and building a miniature museum that ultimately will be a cross between P.T. Barnum's American Museum and Hearst Castle. The museum will have 4 wings or rooms and a main lobby.

Silver urn with yellow roses (one of the set of two that will adorn the great fire place in the lobby of the museum, and a pewter frog which will reside in the pharmacothea section as it has an over all frog based theme. I have a second of the frogs
and think I may turn them into door handles.

35¢ plastic urn, sanded and repainted with DecoColor liquid silver and then "polished" with my Dremel.

One 15¢ rubber frog, painted silver and then sprayed with satin clear wood finish.

Itinerary Music Video

2009-01-06T22:37:24Z

So it may have taken me three times longer than I anticipated but I finally finished the music video I have been working on. It was quite the learning curve seeing as I did not know how to use Flash (Thank you Matt Stein, you're a gentlemen and a Flash Master) before I was asked to make the video, but I think I did pretty well and loved the process, it also helped that the song the video is for (Greg Connors 'Itinerary') is a beautiful track that I hope everyone will take a listen to as he really is a great songwriter. Hope you enjoy!

The Many Flavors of Metal!!!

2008-06-25T05:25:48Z

Here is an amusing (although in my opinion a few of the questions are a bit on the needless side) quiz that will determine what flavor of Metal you are...as indicated below I am Old School...which seems about right, I like metal in the form of Iron Maiden and Motorhead to be honest with some delving into things like King Diamond cuz really who deosn't love Danish metal operas covering such classic themes like the undead unborn, grandmothers and mental asylums and historically accurate accounts of witch trials. I should warn you this is a bit of a long quiz, but I was especially bored when I stumbled upon it.

You scored as Heavy Metal/Old School

You are a normal die hard metal fan, you love old school and will support metal to the death, Death to false metal and to other genres apart from metal!!!

One of the best fx men ever in my opinion passed away yesterday, Mr. Winston was responsible for the alien fx in 'Aliens' and the make-up fx on John Carpenter's 'The Thing', which are still two of the scariest movies made, sadness. I dug up the original trailers to both and here they are...

Thanks for all the scares Mr. Winston

Sneak Peek Alert! Although it will be several weeks before they are finished due to my move back to Seattle in three weeks, I thought I would show a little bit of what I have been working on. Yes, it is indeed a talking board set, which when finished will come complete with spooky hand planchette to help you decipher the messages from beyond! Finished boards will measure 12" x 15" and have wood planchettes. Anyone with and early interest in obtaining one of these please drop me an email as I do believe these will be a limited run although that could change.
