UTENSILE
MONTGOMERY PARK
Montgomery Park is one of the biggest landmarks in Portland, Oregon. The giant red neon sign is a beacon to anyone driving into town on the Fremont Bridge. The building was originally a Montgomery Ward store, and Matt Groening denies that The Simpson's "Montgomery Burns" is named after this place. Sculpted variations of this model include Montgomery Park, Montgomery Dark, Montgomery Ark, Montgomery Dank, and Montgomery Pork.
THE BERESFORD
My cousins-in-law live in an amazing building in New York City. The Beresford is right next door to the American Museum of Natural History! And it features ornate towers on top like a modern castle. But careful observers will note that there are only three towers. WTF? Why didn't they build a tower on each corner of the building? The answer is lost to time. But I fixed this oversight when I sculpted this hot-sauce caddy.
PLASTIC BRICK
If you live in the south--and St. Petersburg in particular--then you have probably seen Augusta Block bricks like this. But not exactly like this! These are full size, they are sculpted and printed from plastic, and they are just for fun. Text is embossed on both sides of the brick, and each one features virtual "wear and tear" that is built right into the plastic to make it look legit.
FOOT BLOCKS
It's important to stand in the right place on a wing foil board. Instead of just guessing or using a sharpie to visually indicate where your feet go, many wing foilers use foot straps, so that they can feel the correct position without even looking. My new "foot blocks" provide the same tactile feedback as a foot strap, but when I crash and fall into the water, my feet aren't locked-in to the board.
SAUSALITO HOUSE
This residence in Sausalito has insane views of Alcatraz, the Bay Bridge, and the San Francisco skyline. I sculpted the whole model based on casual walk-around photos... and the simplified 3D renderings from Google Maps! Perched up on a hill, the house features huge windows and lots of glass. I illuminated some of the windows by building a cavity inside the model, and loading it with a small LED light.
