2015-2016

I'm asymptotically approaching these being the only posts I make here, but I'm not giving up!

From September 4, 2015 to September 4, 2016 I...
...fabricated and installed two permanent public art pieces.
...visited Japan, rode the Shinkansen, slept in a capsule hotel. (And got to see slantiness!)
...took a letterpress printing class, designed and 3D printed a hand-mold for casting type, and finally found a better home for the printing press.
...read roughly 1/3 of the Great Books series.
...flew to NYC just to see Hamilton.
...received my first patent.
...built another bar bot, and a commissioned for piece Burning Man.

After the initial successes I had last year applying to public art opportunities, this year has rather been a disappointment. If I ever can make that my full-time job, it's going to take a lot longer to work up to that point than I was starting to hope. But the process has been pretty fun, and if nothing else it's funded some really great shop upgrades. And I was able to pay off a car loan using art revenue, how often does THAT happen?

Instead of an art car, art for a car.

Very cool. May the road to FT art stuff continue well, and more swiftly (if that's what's desired). Do you have photos up somewhere so we can enjoy your art from afar?

All the big stuff gets listed at attoparsec.com. Semi-regular project updates on @attoparsec on Twitter and Facebook.

Congratulations! Both on the artistic opportunities and being able to pay off your car loan therefrom.
