Not dead, I swear!

Just writing here to give a sign of life. Life has been very busy lately so I haven’t had time to sit and work on any posts here, however I’ve been doing a crap load of work on my Etsy store, particularly with my laser cutter. I’ll eventually post them all here, but right now just not enough time. I’m thinking when winter rolls around I’ll get caught up on thigs a little more.

Lard Lad stained magnet

With my previous Blinky design, I expanded the lines to give it a more bold effect. With this Lard Lad design I did not as I felt that due to this one having much more lines and closer together, the design would get a bit too “busy” so I left them as simple lines. Didn’t turn out too bad at all, but I feel bolder lines would still look better. Maybe next time.

Design #85: The Moon Shall Rise Again hat

This one goes back, way back, to the second episode of the first season call “The Series has Landed”. Fry’s first delivery is to the moon, and sadly he finds that it’s been heavily commercialized since the year 2000. They encounter a local farmer, who wears this hat. For those who don’t know, in the US south the slogan “The south shall rise again” refers to the civil war. I love that this implies that at one point the inhabitants of the moon rebelled against some planet, presumably Earth.

Here’s the link to the product as a pin, but you can view the design on multiple items if you’re interested.

Plow King logo wood stained magnet

While I know it’s not a massive step forward in expanding my laser engraving skills, this is one of the very first designs I completed testing the fill options as opposed to simple line engraving. I was ecstatic with the results too! Obviously you’ll know where this logo comes from if you’re a big Simpsons fan.
