So.. I saw all sorts of cool stuff! There were electric Cars, MIDI Guitars, a computer built out of an old oscilloscope, a computer submerged in a fish tank, instruments you play by waving your hand, touch sensitive music controller, fire drums, a fire truck with a built in solar stage, self propelled skateboards, a city of legos and MORE!!!

As well as some awesome art including: 3D Portraits on the spot, beautiful digital prints with welded frames to match, some really nice HDR photography, trippy 3D art, beautiful photoshop compliations, a guy who carves peanuts and even some amazing hand carved leather art by Moses. Moses even showed me how to make my own leather art and I think leather carving is going to become a new hobby of mine.

I also talked to so many cool people: a couple that sells funky art online, a Texas handmade art dealer, a guy setting up community workshops and labs, and my favorite; a couple that walked around talking to people and giving them inspirational cards. I talked to them for a while and ended up getting three of them, the first one read “birth” the second “bounty” and the third “peace”
I think I know what they mean….

Maker Faire!
This Saturday and Sunday October 18 & 19 at the Travis County Expo Center!
I will be out there with the 8D crew and I think were going to be showing people 3D art… so check it out!

also while I’m advertising… check out the new and improved
Subliminal Phoenix (dot com)

The site still needs some IE debugging but it looks beautiful in Firefox

So while your checking all this new stuff out let me recommend an awesome website to you for Photoshop tutorials and techniques. Its hosted on an online video website called Revision3 and the show is called Pixel Perfect The host Bert Monroy is kinda like the Bob Ross of digital painting. If your just starting out learning photoshop or an advanced user who wants to learn new techniques I would highly recommend watching all of his episodes.

Well thats it for now guys…
