Make Lincoln 2019

I will once again be at Make Lincoln. This year at my table I will have a bunch of my new technology based work display. I’ll have my praying mantis busts, heads, and tomb. I will also have on display the first batch of full size human faces I am working on for a show later this year. I will be in the indoors part of the event.

Make Lincoln is the coming Saturday and runs 10a-4pm at Trago Park in Lincoln

Finished 3D print and Make Lincoln

Finally finished this one.  Print has been done for awhile but I had yet to fill and the sand the base.  As a result of the expense of the 3D printing I get some of these printed with a low density.  This makes them rather unsatisfying in heft but this can be ameliorated by having it printed partially hollow.  I then fill this cavity with resign giving the model a satisfying heft.  It also makes them much more stable.

The mantis in this model is an Indian Flower Mantis or Creobroter pictipennis.  It will be on display at Make Lincoln on Saturday September 30th, then at Omaha Bug Symposium on Saturday October 7th, then it will be at Gallery 72.
