Carbon Ark

This is a little something I put together during down time. Years and years ago JD, my closest friend and business partner of 10 years, and I interviewed for a job at Disney. The position was theatre technician. Another mate of ours (a more experienced tech who had worked for Disney in the past) told us that if we fib on our resume and say we have experience with operating a Carbon Arc spot light that it'd give us and edge over the other applicants. There I sat at the interview, pimple faced and barely 18. Sure enough it came up "I see you have experience with a carbon arc spot? Could you operate one today?" Oh the discomfort. Might as well have said that I could operate a nuclear sub. Today if I'm ever out of my element I call it "Carbon Arcing". I avoid it at all costs. 

Makes a great name for a production company though. 'Specially when arc is spelled with a K. K is the new X, man. Ekstreme!

New 3D project


Thought I'd post a work in progress. Still working on the lighting and texture but the modeling is almost done. Eventually it'll animate and slam through a brick wall. Cool. (click image to see it larger)
