I love designing and 3d printing lithophane nightlights using lithophanemaker.com. I try to make nightlights that look good both lit up and turned off. High contrast with flat backgrounds seem to be key for that. I have experimented with some that came out amazing but are not pictured. The last two photos of flowers were […]

Time to change stuff up. I was on an unsustainable path before. I built this website with a friend editing my blog posts and helping with the business plans and I am very grateful for their help. My personal life took some major turns and stuff went on pause for a while and now that […]
We are in a world where we don’t need to consume or dispose of any more trinkets. Man made materials now outweigh all life on Earth. Plastics double all animal life on Earth.
