GUITARI, 2017

 

Another laser creation based on a busted electric guitar I found at Goodwill. I ripped out the neck and electronics, and cut a minimal “body” out of a piece of black 10mm-thick acrylic to hold the pickups and bridge. I then took an old and busted Atari game I bought on eBay for $10 and put this together. Despite the weird shape, the guitar parts do work and the guitar plays!

STEAMPUNKED ACCORDION, 2016

  Shortly after moving to the US, I met a guy named Lenny Luzzi, a graphics designer by day and accordion player by night. Knowing how much Lenny loved accordions (he had about 10 of them, last time I checked), and after a series of steampunked guitars, I decided to expand by making this instrument, which I gave Lenny. This was quite a complicated paint job, as I had to take a very foreign instrument apart to paint it without damaging the internal parts, and I also had to make sure the various pieces I stuck in there wouldn’t cause an air leak, as the accordion is a wind instrument. Good looking piece, I think.

I did sell a few pieces, but ultimately, this didn’t really go anywhere. This is because I realized that listing these online might be a copyright issue, as the logos and symbols are all trade-marked.

TO SERVE MAN

  This book, inspired by the iconic “Twilight Zone” episode “To Serve Man” (Season 3, episode 24, 1962), in which aliens who visit earth carry a book with this foreign inscription. Later in the show, it’s revealed that it says “To Serve Man”. Initially thought to mean that the aliens want to be our servants, it is later discovered it means to serve a dish….it’s a cook book. To make this, I lasered the design onto vinyl to create a stencil, and then spray-painted the letters.
