I adore the video game, Hades. And I especially adore Chaos. So I attempted to make a clock out of the Chaos Gate design. The design part worked out well, but the actual clock part... Well you'll have to watch to find out. I designed and printed my own clock gear train, and added lights to mimic the colors of the Chaos eye. Is it a good clock? No. Was it fun to do this project? Meh. But did it turn out kinda pretty? I'd say yes!

I play a lot of tabletop-RGPs, so I made a dice tray for rolling dice in and holding a character sheet. I'm not much of a wood-worker, so this box is made from a bunch of laser-cut shapes stacked on top of one another. You can download the laser-cutter file (without the art on the top of the box) here.

I love the look of the classic NES, so I designed a shortcut keyboard around it. I added as many keys as I had key parts, to leave room for as many shortcuts as I might want to add in the future. The goal is to use this as an alternative to keyboard shortcuts while drawing on a separate tablet. I created 3d models, printed everything out, and put it all together with some code libraries and electronics from Adafruit.

I've always wanted my own neon sign, but lack the willingness to pay for the real deal. Besides, as an artist, I wanted to design my own. Luckily for me, you can buy pseudo-neon lights – LED strips embedded sideways in colorful silicone that effectively imitate an actual neon light. Using many of these strips, a 24V 5A power supply, some wood sheets, and a lot of soldering, I put together my own version of a neon sign.

The goal: immerse attendees in play and learning in a playground that takes the form of a human cell. Biology and nature create incredible shapes that are amenable to children's play and exploration. If they can be adapted to be educational as well, it could essentially be a playground and science museum.
