About Me

I make toys for kids who don't want to grow up. I'm on the lookout for new projects. If you're interested in commissioning me to build something ridiculous, shoot me an email.

Upcoming Appearances in the Real World

I'm still neglecting my bloggage, but in case you follow me here I figured I'd let you know that I've got a couple of things coming up that will get me out of my cave.

First up, this weekend will be the Bay Area Maker Faire over in Vallejo, California at the former Mare Island Naval Shipyard.  Last year I set up a modest display: 
2025 Maker Faire

We also had the whole crew there to answer questions, demonstrate a few techniques, and tell you all about all of our build projects over the years.  This year will be similar, but bigger and better with more people walking around in costume.  Stop by, say hi, get a signed copy of my book, and see what we've been up to.  Details about the event here: LINK

Then I'm off to Wasteland Weekend.  If you're there, you'll see me out and about on this contraption:2024 Wasteland Weekend LACC 098

Flag me down and I'll let you ride my red rocket.

If you've never heard about Wasteland Weekend, you've probably lived a bland and unfulfilling life.  Get yourself right and upgrade your sad existence by clicking here: LINK.

Then, shortly after I get back, I'll be one of the panel of judges for a cosplay & costume model design contest being run by Snapmaker during the lead up to LA Comic Con.  You can see details here: https://space.snapmaker.com/en/contest/3?name=cosplay-costume-model-design-contest

Design your printable cosplay parts, set them up as .3MF files for 3D printing, and show off the finished result.  You get a chance to be judged by me, and there's also prizes including cash or a Snapmaker U1 3D printer and two free passes to LA Comic Con.

Lots of projects in the works lately so hopefully I'll sit down long enough to actually tell you all about our latest builds for Magic Wheelchair, Games Workshop, our own goofy prop and costume projects, and all the other madness along the way.

Stay tuned...
