The trench that Adam paid for

2011-07-18T20:21:00.000-07:00

Hey all Saw here with some new goodness for your eye sockets. This was a commission for a fellow named Adam, and I have to say I like the way it turned out. It is a dessert style trench board with lots of tight corners, for super close combat. It is for a game system called infinity, but is scaled to play with any 28mm game system ;But enough of my babbles, here's the pics....

I am happy to present to you "SS-107"

Ah yes, the last one has your truly messing with something. Once again I need to thank Adam for his patronage and faith in me as an artist to complete this project. Thank you also to all the folks who have been giving me comments and emails, it is both flattering and humbling to have so many people interested in my work..... Thanks!

Wow!!!

You caused so much pain, you got what you deserved, I just wish I could have been the one to pull the trigger... Hope you enjoy your table by the fire!

So my art stuff is blowing up & I have not been keeping up with you; I have been really backing up, on all my updates for my cyber life... I'm sorry. I Just completed a fantastic build, and will post pics as soon as I can take some decent shots. It's a city fight board that I really had fun tricking out. Here is a link to a set of pics from my gaming group I belong to: http://www.meetup.com/Warhammer-Denver/photos/1321089/ I also have some more paintings I need to put into deviant art. Look for me to start writing a tutorial for a huge build I will be doing over the summer (ya, ya I know I need to write more, I get it, you miss me....) Thank you to all my readers, my supporters, and my fans. Without your help, your job$, and your just being good people, I feel I'm getting better. I have grown exponentially as an artist through all this turmoil over the past 2 years, and am glad to finally be able to take a breath. I hope this doesn't effect my art.....lol just kidding, or am I? Stay sexy world, S

Old spice, German music and beer, your same old clothes, Jack Benny and all your old radio programs, spreadsheets, your love of movies and building things.....these things I miss about you. I had a beer for you today, Happy birthday.

I miss you,

Happy New Year!

Hello all,

Sorry it has been so long since I checked in with you, I have been busy painting! I have a new show opening this Friday. I will get you more info as soon as possible.

Thank you to everyone who has given me support through these hard times since the passing of my Dad, it means more to me, then you could ever know. It's still really hard, and I will always miss him, but with supporters like you, it makes it so much better....Thank you.

Hang me on a wall

2010-10-25T12:15:00.000-07:00

I'm very proud to announce that I will have 30 paintings on display for the month of November, down at McKinners pizza bar, located on beautiful main street in downtown Littleton.

I am both excited and nervous for this as it is a very intimate glimpse into my soul, but as an artist I do want to tell my story to the world.

If you can, I invite you down any time in November to see my stuff. Let me know what you think :)

Humbly yours,

The journey we take standing still

2010-10-21T12:54:00.000-07:00

Life and death, good and bad, right and wrong, light and dark; it seems there is duality everywhere.

As I am dealing with a loss, I guess I am more hypersensitive to what I have. I am so thankful for everyone's support through this difficult time for me and mine. From the bottom of my heart...Thank you!

Through these hard times I have been creating some intense art. It seems that art really is pain, or through pain you can get some really deep work, another duality there. I invite you to take a look at my deviant art page to see some for yourself.

We are all striving for balance.

I will keep up the good fight, and try to continually keep you guessing on my crazy life and where it is going. You can get RSS updates when I post a new entry, by clicking the button on the bottom of my page. Also if you would like to contact me, my email is on the side.

As always I remain your humble Servant,

Tonight a good man died

2010-09-30T21:01:00.000-07:00

He was a friend, a mentor, an inspiration, and the toughest guy I knew...

Goodbye Dad.

Storm Front

2010-07-14T15:33:00.000-07:00

It seems in life like there are times when we are tested. It seems that this is the case right now for just about all my close friends. I painted this for you to remember that storms always pass. I believe the greater the person, the greater the storm, but that is what makes you all so special.

Hang in there!

"The fishermen know that the sea is dangerous and the storm terrible, but they have never found these dangers sufficient reason for remaining ashore."

OMG I'm Back

2010-06-23T13:58:00.000-07:00

Wow.....

Let me just say having a virus on your computer is totally lame! I was hit with a whopper, but fear not, your intrepid artistic adventurer Saw, is back. Stupid Virus!

Sorry about this pic, I needed to post it online for something, and I guess you all have to pay..... my bad!

Any who, talk at you soon, and stay away from the free porn...... trust me!

I know, I'm lame....

2010-04-10T12:14:00.000-07:00

I totally know it, sorry....

I'm not dead, and I haven't quit, thanks for the emails & concern. I'm working on a super duper top secret project, that I have to have finished by next weekend. After that I will have a TON of pics! Also be looking for stickers & t shirts....Coming soon!

In the mean time, I invite you to look over some of the stuff I have posted in the past, you know get back in touch with your earlier Saw madness. See where it started, where it grew into awkward puberty and it's voice cracked, the emergence of the ugly punk rock butterfly that became the current Mothra known as Saw. Along the way you can play a little game I like to call, make fun of Saw's grammar. Oh well, we can't have it all.

Ya, ya....stalling, I know, but hang in there, your going to like what you see!

Your ever faithful,

here you go

2010-04-02T13:18:00.000-07:00

Hello minions,

Sorry I have not been posting, I have been neck deep in alligators, and that's not fun! Since I really have nothing of interest today to share, I thought I would share something I found that made me giggle.... enjoy!

Blizzards suck for mining

2010-03-13T16:03:00.000-08:00

I'm back, and I'm sharing....

Here's some pics from my latest build. It was a rewarding and challenging set for a blizzard world, with an abandoned mining complex. I built a mining station, a hab, a dice tower, in the shape of a surveyors mountain, and some hills and such. It was a blast, but I am sick of the smell of baking soda...lol

Please enjoy my madness....

here we see a perspective shot of the main piece. it is a giant. it has the feel of an abandoned fuel depot, as well a small supply station along with the massive drill.

Here we see a front shot, with abandoned crates and such...

Here is a close up, from the fuel line walkway, by the boiler, that lights up!

Here is a back shot, with one of the control stations. The roof is removable so you can see the detail, below the grates better.

Here is my hab. Ah.... Hab, sweet Hab. No wonder they left!

Here is a front shot.

Here is a shot of the sat dish on the hab.... Even when freezing your boys off you still need to call home.

Here is a back shot, with the loading dock.

In other news, i have finally set up my prints, on deviant art, so now you can purchase prints of any of my artwork.If you haven't checked it out yet, please do!

Humbly,

I miss you Battlestar Galactica

2010-03-12T10:28:00.000-08:00

Check this out......

Someone cool edited scenes from B.G. to the "Beastie Boys" song "sabotage". Not only is it cool, it also mimics the actual video for the song.....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoQ0bqsJSJ8

In other news, Sorry I haven't been updating as much lately. I finished a terrain set & have jumped right into the next project. I will post pics soon, I swear. Jump on over to my Deviant art site to see some of my new paintings.

Humbly,

New video for "We Are The World 25 for Haiti"

2010-02-22T17:09:00.000-08:00

Hi all

So I just watched the new video for "We Are The World 25" for Haiti and it is awwwwsome!

Check it out......

Just because I wanted to, I am sharing a poem to my wife, with all of you, for valentines day.....Don't forget fellas! I know I'm early, but what can I say, I'm ahead of my time...lol
...sorry for that.

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways

by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

I love thee to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach, when feeling out of sight for the ends of Being and ideal Grace.

I love thee to the level of every day's most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.

I love thee freely, as men strive for Right; I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.

I love thee with the passion put to use in my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.

I love thee with a love I seemed to lose with my lost saints,—I love thee with the breath, smiles, tears, of all my life!—and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death.

Thank you for being....

Haiti and how you can help

2010-01-24T23:41:00.000-08:00

I'm here to do my part.

I feel for the nation of Haiti, and could not imagine having to go through something as tragic as what is going on right now. I have seen refuge camps, and let me tell you these poor people, especially the children are living in hell right now.

Imagine your life turned upside down, separated from loved ones, with no way to know if there ok (your own kids), living where there was nowhere to go to the bathroom so your walking in feces and piss, no where safe to sleep, no food, disease/ injuries in a tropical environment with little medical help and little to no medical supplies, contaminated water, and little to no hope.

How sad.

If you want to help, here are a list of charitable organisations currently working in the country. If you are religious, please say a prayer for the suffering.....

If you don't have money, you have a voice. Tell others how they can help, start a donation drive wherever you live or work, make flyers, sell cookies, hassel golfers on the way in to the club (because we know they have money...lol), if your in a band, do a benifit show, go to your local hospital and/or clinic and ask for donations of medical supplies, anything. Rally around the goodness in your heart, and make a difference. Even though this didn't happen to you, does not make it ok to ignore the suffering going on, take action and please help.

R.I.P. Tom

2010-01-20T02:55:00.000-08:00

Born- October 16, 1973

Passed away- January 8, 2010

Tom Karsell was a friend from way back. I was saddened to hear about his passing. He was part of a pack we used to have, always watching each other backs. I got into a fight the first night I met him, as well as being in my first punk band with him, called "Bad Influence", and he played a mean (and loud) drum! We had some crazy times.....

My sincerest condolences to his family, and anyone else grieving over his untimely loss....

So long Tom go easy brother,

He had a dream

2010-01-18T09:56:00.000-08:00

On this day, we remember the birthday and legacy of the good Dr. Martin Luther king Jr. , who with a vision of equality & love, strove to right the in balance and inequality of the African American through non violent ways. Today I make a pledge anew to be kinder to my fellow man, and care more, where it might be easier to just ignore the inconvenient events around me. We are all equal in that we all are human, and as such we all deserve love and respect.

Happy B day Dr. King!

Your humble admirer,

Bring it

2010-01-02T14:12:00.000-08:00

Happy New year 2010!!!

I hope this year brings love and prosperity to you and yours!

Now on with the show...

Just a nice shot, by the water tower to get you started. Now onto the mine...

Here are the 3 sections put together. There slowly making progress into the mountain. Click on the pics to see a bigger image. when I get this done, I wonder how big it will be? The image above, is approx. 2 feet right now!

Here's a shot with the prototype piece put in as well, I'm really pleased with how this project is coming out so far.

The only problem is I'm running out of Styrofoam...lol

Here's a gate I built that can be placed any where in the mine, as a barrier, or as an objective. One side is painted as a danger gate, the other side is marked for rescue.

Here is a T section, complete with supplies and a map. What good is a mine without a T section?

Here is an end cap piece. I wanted this one to look like they were getting ready to blast in deeper, building the mine. Always building the mine. No rest for the miners. sorry, I feel like I've been digging the mine, oh wait I have.... moving on...

Here's the last thing poor engineer 3rd class Peterson saw, before he was killed by a terrible metal monster, that just would not die....

You better watch out 2010, I'm ready for you. This year is going to be a good one for your old buddy saw, I can just feel it.

Happy new year, and game on!

Sorry I have not infected your eye sockets lately, with any good saw madness, I will have some for you soon. Tonight I thought I would post some pics, from some box cameras we just got developed. I hope you enjoy......

I hope you enjoyed a look into some of my adventures.....

Great Forum

2009-12-09T18:02:00.000-08:00

Hey all,

Just wanted to let you know about a awesome forum I am a new member of.

Great bunch of guys, who really bring it with some great models. They have other game type sections as well. The thing I like most about them, is there very fiercely independent, have a more mature group of members, and know more then just Games Workshop stuff.....

The only drawback is that there in the UK, so I don't see any tabletop battles happening...lol

Check them out, I put up a link under "places I think are cool".

Baby it's cold outside...

2009-12-05T17:51:00.000-08:00

Welcome to another installment of Saw Studios. First off I would like to compliment you on you taste in blogs, no seriously... Thank you!

So I Had this Idea for a satellite receiver station way in the middle of nowhere. So at some time, it was destroyed, and now the snow has started to erase it from the landscape.

It is rather bland, as any fine detail, was covered by the snow (goodbye precious bits). I found the easiest way to achieve the kind of snow I see around here, I mixed white glue/water at a ratio of 60/40 respectively. It was also a challenge as I had to actively sculpt inclines in sections, as the glue was drying. I found that baking soda works well, with some sugar mixed in lightly for sparkle/grain.

Up close I am really happy with the access panels, as I made them look like they were shot, and or pry ed open. There is rust forming on the exposed parts, and a hint of frayed wires sticking out.

Another view of a second access panel structure.

I hope that you are not to cold to let me know what you think. In the future, I'm thinking of making a mountain terrain, like huge glacier area. Great views, little cover.....

As always, thanks for reading, and send me a note if there's something you'd like to see on here.

Mining Rig #619

2009-12-01T18:38:00.000-08:00

Well hey howdy, and welcome to another post from your friendly underground artist Saw. I have been getting alot of compliments on my mining rig...Thank you. With that theme in mind....

You were picking up what I was putting down..... alright! You wanted more pics of the rig, well here you go, you animals!

That little baby was a 6 Mo. labor of love. I would be stumped for a while on how to build something, then work it through, only o get another challenge. I was partly inspired by the TV show " The deadliest catch", as I thought they would live on these rigs, as well as work on them for long periods, in harsh conditions. Almost like a land boat... A really big one, built on a super heavy Tank chassis.

Here is the MULE support mining car.

It fits in the mine tunnels and does all the heavy lifting.

Now I'm off to work more on the mine sections....

Soon the Necron will break through... poor miners!

I'm thankfull for art

2009-11-25T17:01:00.000-08:00

Hello and welcome to another post from your good buddy Saw. Tonight I have for you a new set I have been working on....

Behold Mine #4, soon to be infamous with tales of silent death and horrible medal beings that just will not die.

On patrol you see my new scout on an ATV. Oh the lonely life of a scout.

Model is Games Workshop, the ATV is from Eureka.

I am starting a whole set of mine pieces, as well as some more death world scenery. Stop by my deviant art site to see it all, as well as some of my new paintings.

Utill next time dear readers, stay low...

Well hi again,

I know I have been absent of late, but for those of you who don't know ( shame on you!), I also have a deviant art site. I have been painting most of this summer, to get some stuff out and I made a little video for you:

As for my 28mm compulsion, I have not forgot about you. I will upload some good pics soon, of a new terrain set:)

The scenario is mine shafts of the future.... complete with heavy mining rig, and a whole lot of Saw goodness! Think space hulk deep underground. They were looking for minerals, what they found was something completely different!

Don't give up on your old buddy Saw yet, because I haven't given up on you...

First of all...

Cogratulations to Dana & Charles Monroe on there wedding! It was a great celebration of there love, and I had a blast. We stayed with Dozer & his beautiful bride ( nickname coming), and it was awsome! We went on ther ghost tour and that was fun as well!

I was really hoping to get a ghost encounter, but I guess it was there day off...

Stay tuned for more Saw madness!

Sorry I have not been keeping up on this....

2009-09-04T10:51:00.000-07:00

To my loyal Saw minions:

Life is happening full force for your good buddy saw, but I promise to have something new up as soon as Murphy quits kicking me in the balls.

Thanks and check back soon, or sign up at the bottom to get an alert when I post.

Shots without the hangover

2009-07-02T12:33:00.000-07:00

Well hi there....

So I have been painting everyday for a while now, as much to calm the demons ( stupid demons), as to release the creative energy, and the pictures trapped in my soul.

Not to worry my loyal miniature lovers, I am still painting the Little's as well, they just take longer.....

So one of the things I like most about art is how everyone see's something different. As I'm an abstract artist for the most part, people really see different things in my stuff. I think it might be because I'm totally crazy, or it could be some weird Rorschach inspired, personality telling, psychological rule, that you have to know in your 1st year psych classes, then you forget it, as you stuff your brain with other golden bit's of wisdom. Anyway, I digressed........ sorry.

So for this post I have another guest photog.....

Pictures courtesy of the lens of Mr. Relax.....

More coming soon. I now have batteries ( just a little update for my peeps in the know), so watch out retinas, because I'm going to be coming at you soon, with something cool....

Word!

Still Saw till they take it away from me......

Remember stonewall

2009-06-28T08:57:00.000-07:00

It has been a while my loyal readers, since I have infected your eye holes, with some saw goodness, and for that I apologize. It is a combination of sleep deprivation, combat induced psychosis, and a lack of batteries, but that's a story for another day. Today I was moved off my "poor me" throne, as well as my lighter side of all things miniature, by a higher motivation..... Friendship.

I consider myself lucky not only to be friends with both gay and lesbian individuals, but also that I am not chained by a prejudice, or blind hatred for people that want nothing more then the right to love who they want.

As a 2x veteran of my beloved country, I have always believed in the principals of freedom. We have overcome much in this country in regards to civil liberties, but I feel saddened that the gay rights movement, has continued to be shunned. For what?

We all have the right to love & be loved.......

Humbly,

Big 6..... Done!

2009-05-26T16:28:00.000-07:00

Wanted to give a shout out to my man Little C, for his continuation along the path....

Well done!

There's more. but blogger get's all weird if I try to put too many up. I think I'm too brutal for blogger.... sorry blogger, we are who we are.

So since Monday of last week, I have been manically painting to vent different emotions.... Here you go, let me know what you think....

I have a bunch more, but i guess I'm to brutal for blogger, because it keeps freezing up, if i try to put more up..... anyways, enjoy and as always,

Humbly,

The battles we fight

2009-04-13T14:59:00.000-07:00

Well a big hip hop happy howdy to all my beautiful little bunnies out there. I figured I owed you so here's your visual Easter basket of saw madness......

And some random bits of my past and my mania....

Ah yes, the mythical saw studios scale...

World domination bitches!!!

-Your humble servant,

2009-04-09T12:11:00.000-07:00

Did you think I forgot about you?

Fear not minions, I'm just having a mental breakdown right now; as well as rebuilding my shop to better serve the masses. I have some stuff to show you & I will get some pics soon....

Hiya

2009-03-14T12:34:00.000-07:00

I finally made it over here.....hi everyone!

Life...

2009-03-09T13:26:00.000-07:00

Hi there my beautiful minions, it is your friendly neighborhood underground artist, with another dose of pure Saw- Studios; or is that SawStudios?

Sorry I haven't infested your eye sockets with some pippin hot awesomeness lately but life has a funny way of throwing a curve ball my way, every time I get's a rolling... But fear not!

Here at Saw studios ( yet a 3rd way...weird) , we don't know how to quit, so with that I make you my ultra secret, super duper, mega promise, that as soon as I can finish steps 352 - 370 you will see some wickedness, that would make Brad Pitt weep like a baby, purely from it's beauty..... Sorry Brad.

To put it more linear for our O.C.D. folks, I'm about a week out from my next round of Table Candy.

I'm also thinking of starting a web show from time to time, to jabber at you guys about modeling, and terrain, and who I think would win in a fight between Wolverine and Mister Clean teamed up with Aunt Jemima (you might laugh, but she was raised in the deep south, circ 19Racist, and she’s made of glass, so I think she can take care of herself. I don't know, I'm not sure anyone would really watch anyways, but maybe that's half the fun, because really Even if thousands were watching me,

I'm still down in my shop, talking to myself......

Word!

M.I.A.

2009-02-23T14:05:00.000-08:00

Sorry to be missing for so long everyone, I'm sicker then a dog, in a peanut butter factory..... Will have some fun stuff to show you when I'm feeling better....

Hey Oh!

2009-02-10T00:42:00.000-08:00

Just wanted to give a big Saw Studios shout out to my friend LueWii! Keep rocking, and thanks for supporting your buddy saw! I'm still trying to figure out how to build the island from lost for you...... It might be a while :)

This is cool..

- Your humble servant,

Why do I keep dreaming about these numbers?

Bringing it...

2009-01-12T15:53:00.000-08:00

Here's your good buddy saw with some more pics, from the evolving urban project. The more I do city pieces, the more I love doing city pieces, it's a sickness I know, but I have a vision & I must follow it.

Thanks to plastic shadow for helping with the pics, and now I present our first piece for the night I like to call "Meeting"....

The Wereshark is a Reaper pewter miniature....

Up next , for a goof I built a little dumpster to keep little parts in, as I'm building stuff.

The next little guy, I received in the mail free from a company I found on line, and I can't remember the name... I'm sorry.

I modeled him after a medic in world war 2 around the time of the battle of the bulge...

And now, as promised more pics of my derelict satellite dish. I wanted it to look as if it were on a planet covered in sand and snow and smelling faintly of fear and death.... hmmm, cozy.

and another close up:

I'm building a little solar power module that umbilical to the satellite with an interchangeable power cord (intact, and destroyed).

Up next I give you a small vignette I like to call "Old brothers"...

Here's a close up:

God bless games workshop for producing such kick ass miniatures. Even though I'm crying every time I go to pay for a new miniature, I still am buying them like a ravenous crack head..... Must paint miniatures.... ahhhhh.... sweet bliss (think homer Simpson).

Here's some more :

Note- I'm Sorry they are not based yet. I am waiting to base when I complete my collection and unfortunately I have lofty goals, but I do have a plan, and beg your forgiveness. If you have no idea what I'm talking about your probably a Friend of mine, being cool and supporting me so - thanks! and great taste in friends !!!

The Commissar-

The Sniper-

The Missionary-

Here's my APC ( actually a Chimera from games workshop)

Here's the tank commander-

Here's a pic of my walker (a lethal killing platform and a snappy dancer)....

And a couple randoms to fill out this post....

An old school vet, doing what he does best...

And the last one for this fine evening is a little scene I would like you to conjure up in your mind.

Imagine the last thing you would see, as your armor was melting off your smoking bodies,

As the Virus bombs fall -

Sweet dreams ....

I frakking love this show!

Big up's!

2009-01-05T15:33:00.000-08:00

I would just like to take a moment, to give a thank you shout out to my friend & fellow artist plastic shadow for hooking me up on the art side.

Also......

A big shout out all the way to the windy Shitty, to Mr. Big; Hang in there bro, keep the faith, don't forget where you come from and keep living the dream!

Hooah!

New year resolutions...

2009-01-01T03:17:00.000-08:00

Well seeing as everyone else is making new year resolutions, I guess I should as well, so here goes...

This year, I am going to resolve to not let zombies freak me out as much! wow, that felt really good!

Aww who am I kidding. Those creepy living dead bastards freak the holy bejesus out of me.....

Stupid Zombies!

Happy New Year....

2009-01-01T01:41:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year everyone! I am excited to announce that this year, you will see the unveiling of saw studios own line of shirts, stickers, posters, and a growing line of anti fashion aimed to unite the gaming community.

"For gamers, by gamers"

As always, I am on the lookout for cool people, and great ideas, so if you are one, have one, or are a mix of the 2, feel free to contact me at-

sawstudios@gmail.com

In the next few weeks, I will be exploring the idea of opening the store portion of saw studiois on a different format, the good old fashion webpage, or keeping it all local here. Any input would be great, as I'm an artist & a revolutionary, not a sales & marketing guy. That said, fasten your seat belts every one, because I think 2009 will be the year we all get to "show our edge"!

your faithful visionary & madman,

Saw

Gears of time & the coming of Christmas

2008-12-23T14:00:00.000-08:00

As another Christmas graces us with it's warmth and glow, I would like to take a moment and say that we here at Saw Studios are not just about war torn terrain, death worlds, trippy art, and tragically hip counter culture, we also believe strongly in giving back, and don't have a problem putting our money, or rather our stuff, where are mouth is........

Here's a close up of the note attached....

Merry Christmas you heathens! Let's all hope for a kick A.. 2009!

More work from my past, and a glimps into my future

2008-12-22T03:44:00.000-08:00

[gallery]

All work by yours truly Except The Burn Sticker, which is courtesy of Mr. Big, A good friend living the dream in the windy city.......

There is a rumble that has started in the shop. A strange hammering, and sawing noise, that could only mean expansion. I believe something big is coming; What will 2009 bring...... I wonder?

The road to here....

2008-12-20T15:29:00.000-08:00

Well I was going through some old stuff and ran into some of my old sketch books...

And for the last one for tonight, I give you a 2 part mercy scan. I say this because I really don't like this next picture, but the page was going to fall out of the book, and I thought I would give the poor bastard a fighting chance on the Internet.... Then I messed with it in photo shop...

What's cooking?

2008-12-19T01:00:00.000-08:00

Well I'm glad you asked, because I thought you might like a steaming hot plate of kick ass terrain for your eye sockets....Dig in!

First up is a little piece I like to call:

It features a removable gun nest on the roof, a removable rope ladder, trench section with Battle damage, and kung fu action grip! OK I made up the last part, but this is a seriously cool piece. You could have a fun game, totally centered on getting into this death provider....

Next up on our feast of terrain, straight out of saw studios twisted sense of urban planning is a little piece I like to call "The Fountain" I know it's not very original, but what can i say, I'm not that creative. ;)

This high tech recon/listening point started out as a nice fountain in a park somewhere, stroking the ego of the local plutocrat. After the revolt, at the time of the Great world war, it was discovered it was still leaking water, the imperial engineers fit it up with a hydro scrubber unit, turning it into a re supply point, further advancing the glorious imperium.

And for a desert I ask you to humor me for a Moment:

Imagine if you would a planet, a death world in fact, covered in sand and snow.

Mining Log 45-760-23.8

Crew Boss 27 -

Cold and dead, at the back of nowhere in an out of the way little section of the universe, so far from anything that there are a disproportionate amount of robots, or servitors, to humans.

Back to the planet, who's lonely designator Xj-47, not even named by a Terran human properly yet, This weather has been the biggest challenge so far. Once they get deep enough, there will be little need for these harsh weather suits, but for the time, everyone is glad there wearing them. There is a thin atmosphere here, but it is little use trying to breath with out a respirator, as the wind is so cold, if it catches you right, you can actually flash freeze your lungs....

not a good way to go....

R.I.P. Sturnman, you were a pioneer, and will not be forgotten!

The Machinery has been acting up, but what's new? Luckily the company worked a deal and we will get resupply in 3 months from a big passenger ship, that will be in our sector.

Mining Log 45-760-45.2

Crew Boss 27 -

As Farbins was running the scope today before the next section of drilling he found something.......

strange.

There seems to be a rather large .....

complex of what seems to be "tunnels" down here. As we scope out more, we have discovered that some of the "rooms" seem to be emitting strange power readings. We were all starting to get spooked, until our chief life science officer pointed out, that there were no life signs. Could you imagine if we stumbled right into the middle of some kind of organised life form way out here?

Anyways, we will breach one of these "rooms" tomorrow, and I'm sure it will just turn out to be some sort of weird old underground dry river, or something...

Bringing my game....

2008-12-17T00:35:00.000-08:00

I have been trying to get better shots of some of my stuff & here is my second trial.... Enjoy!

I made this satellite up link dish to look like it was very old and borderline derelict. It also has a solar power station that can attach to it ( pics coming soon).

I like this piece because it's so simple, yet it offers great cover, and you have to ask your self "how did this get here?"

My final piece for the night is another in the death world series I'm doing.

This one is really cool:

This bunker section can hold 5 Imperial guard figures, with a lower section great for a commander, unless your like me: then your commander is leading from the front, kicking ass!

Old Thoughts

2008-11-27T18:01:00.000-08:00

While stationed in Bosnia with the army, I wrote some stuff down:

Memory-

The memory comes rushing into my mind like a flashbulb popping. The momentary stun of the white light giving way to the scene, drawing me in further and further until I'm all consumed, smothered in the subconscious, the colors so vivid, the smells so strong. I run my hands over it, feeling the texture and warmth. my breath is coming in shallow puffs now and the blood is rushing to my head. I know this can't be real.... but is it? Lost within myself like a blind man who can't find the door.

Hmmm....

How about:

Creativity-

The idea, wrapped in it, consumed by it, pulled through it, twisted back around, examining, probing, light a flashlight falling slowly down a dark raged hole. The Iris of the huge eye, expanding out to the limit, stretching the lid, till the flashlight falls through, descending faster till it is like a speeding train, smashing, exploding out into the world to forever leave it's mark on time.

OK, your last one for the night, but just cause you've been good...

Cycles-

The world I make inside my mind, I try to crawl in, squeezing, clawing. I can not fit so I must watch from outside, like a fish tank...soon I bore, and look around, needing to create something I can hold, breath, wear, eat...soon I bore, and look within again, searching, everything is new. But I can't fit, so I look around again...soon I bore, and look outside.... Everything is new.

Going live.....

2008-11-22T18:38:00.000-08:00

Well hi there,

Thanks for checking me out. lets see where it goes. Are you ready to follow the rabbit down the hole? Let's hope so, because the bus is already moving, and it's too late to jump off.
