STEAMPUNK DOUBLE-NECK, 2018-2019


 While I already made 2 steampunk guitars by now, I’ve dreamt of making a double-neck one, after seeing musician Mark Kroos creating amazing pieces on his. I was able to find a double-neck kit on eBay for $170 (which was still quite a bit, as I was fairly broke following my divorce a few months before). The kit was more complex than I thought, and so it sat in the corner for many months while I was trying to figure it out. I finally finished the decorations in June 2019, although I still wasn’t able to figure out the electronics, and so they are not actually connected, even though they are all there.

My first creative streak came about age 17, when I started getting deeper into photography. My high school had an art department, and even though I wasn’t in it (I was a Chemistry major), I was well known and liked by school staff, and so I was allowed free access to their studio, where I practiced developing film. I practiced various techniques for photo effects, some with just my camera, ...

AVENGERS LAMP

  Inspired by the movie “The Avengers”, this simple piece consists of a set of action figures, glued to a lamp I got at Goodwill, and then spray-painted gold. I got the idea from some internet user who came up with it.
