My circuitry is showing.

The "illuminate Wall" is an interactive artwork inspired by "Living Walls" but made from paper, cardboard, paint, and Chibitronics LEDs (who were the collaborators on this piece). The simple materials and visible circuitry show that tinkering with electronics can be accessible, creative, and fun.

To illuminate the wall, viewers shine a light (either from their phone or from the provided flashlight) into each flower to set off a new light animation.

It really farts.

In Bob's Burgers, Gene and his toy keyboard are practically inseparable. So for Comic Con, I made a working keyboard cosplay prop by reskinning a flexible toy piano.

I rearranged the electronics to fit in a foam board case and soldered new buttons to keep the keyboard fully functional - including adding Gene's favorite "Fart" Sound effect button.

Gene also plays a keytar in his fantasies so I added an optional strap and magnetically attached a removable keytar handle.

Then, the marquee-style arrows point to illuminated boxes with product recommendations based on your standing.

"Bikes Can Take You Anywhere!"

Look! Santa Claus is flying through the night sky on a bike! (and yes, he’s actually pedaling!)

For this retail window display, I hacked an animatronic "Santa on a bike" to automatically pedal both wheels. Then, I set the rest of the scene with a giant moon, the Jersey City skyline, and added animated LED stars to the sky.

Animation On Wheels

I added LEDs to the silhouette of my bike for the BikeJC light up rides. 

The build features custom animations that are synced over radio between the bike frame, wheels, and helmet. 

I created a video tutorial series based on this project to share how to build portable, custom LED projects for bikes and beyond.

Burdened with glorious cuteness.

In the Loki TV series, a variant of Loki is an alligator - so I thought my dog could be a Loki too for Halloween!

By creating fake arms on the front, it looks like he is standing straight up, ready to accept his presidential nomination.

I also created some campaign swag for his human canvassers.

He ate the cake.

In Matilda, the character Bruce is served an extra large chocolate cake and has to finish the whole thing as punishment.

I created a collapsible cake to create the illusion that the entire cake was being devoured on stage. 

After the show, I heard a kid ask the young actor if he REALLY ate the whole thing - mission accomplished.
