Laser-Cut CADflakes

Not sure what they are cut from - acrylic maybe - but they sure are cool.

My Portfolio

So this is it. The cover is laser etched from 11" X 17" Aspen Paperwood from Hiromi Paper. Shown is the detail of the front cover, detail of the back cover (quote from the Blondie song Goldenrod), and the back cover.

Lamp Base

So this is the lamp with it's new base laser cut from three pieces of 1/8" Masonite so it can be clamped to my desk at school.

Bulb Hanging Mobile

Bulb Hanging Mobile, originally uploaded by fholgado.

Quoted from Flickr.com (click-the-pic to see more):
Bulb is a dynamic mobile that merges the organic with the industrial. It hangs suspended by it's 4 leaves while the inner leaves collapse inwards when the handle is pulled. This was a project for the Georgia Tech Industrial Design program. Designed by Federico Holgado, Benny Lee, and Tyler Wilson.

Dead Cougar

Laser etched on Masonite. 24" X 36".

Multistorey Cube

Multistorey Cube, originally uploaded by Progress Packaging Ltd.

Made of MDF with an outer veneer. The sides were etched and infilled with color. It would make a pretty cool paperweight, but I really don't know anybody who uses one.

Emilio Pucci Dress

Laser cut dress Emilio Pucci 2, originally uploaded by OutsaPop Trashion.

Made of Suede and apparently retailed for $2,920.00, but you and I both know how to make our own;)

Felt scarf

Laser cut felt for scarf, originally uploaded by CabFabLab.

From CanFabLab. From what I can tell it is wool felt.

A Calendar Laser Etched Into Fingernails

What point does this serve? It was done at lasern.

More Books...

artist series, originally uploaded by enGraVe.

How many books have I featured here? Too many? Imposable! Anyway, these are from Engrave Your Book which I talked about in a previous post.

Fly And SCIENCE On A Moleskine notebook

Fly and SCIENCE laser etched on Moleskine notebook, originally uploaded by hoakyman.

Yes, another book with a laser etched cover, but it is really cool. Great scale between the fly and Science - huh?

Spirosketch Necklace/Bracelet Set

COAST to COAST

COAST to COAST, originally uploaded by mandiberg.

Just cool. The division of the pages with the placement of the lettering/words is so striking - a total Otis piece but it's not. See more at jen beckman.

Braindrop

Braindrop, originally uploaded by Mic to Mic.

Braindrop is a laser cut steel, 18' tall meditation/gathering space in the shape of a water drop by artist Kate Raudenbush.

Wood Assemblages

Laser cut wood assembled, originally uploaded by techshopdurham.

These are really cool. They are simple shapes that are simply arranged to make a complex assembly. From Techshopdurham.com.

Hairdressing Shears

Laser Cut Hairdressing Shears, originally uploaded by Ms Constantine.

Much like the keys I blogged about earlier - these are like something from a fairytale.

Jason Thielke

Jason Thaielke has been an artist on my radar for a few months now and I was shocked to find out he uses a laser cutter in his work. Isn't it amazing? Above is called Breaths and is laser etched Lacquer (not sure what that means) and measures 17" X 23".

Lamp Pt. 1

So I got back my laser cut pieces for my Laurel Lamp shades. Here is the assembly of one. I plan on assembling the other - and stringing them both - and making an instructable out of it. So next time I post about this they will be finished with an instructable to go along with them.

More Jewelry Pt.2

Conform necklace by Aroha Silhouettes - made from recycled vinyl records, originally uploaded by arohasilhouettes.

I know, a lot of jewelry, but this is really cool and made of an old vinyl record! Available at Aroha Silhouettes on Etsy.com.

Paintings

paperboat, originally uploaded by Amy Rice.

The shape here that Amy Rice has paints on is laser cut from oak plywood.

American Eagle Outfitters

American Eagle Outfitters., originally uploaded by Allison Newhouse.

This is a laser cut steel installation with LCD screens at AE's corporate campus in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

neighborgapbridge

The neighborgapbridge is an Integrated Learning (IL) class at Otis College of Art and Design. I am mentioning it for two reasons:

1. The instructor in the class is Patricia Kovic, and is the woman who introduced the laser cutter to me, and...

2. There was a laser cut project in the class which I helped set up.

The ngb, like all IL classes, has partners, and its partners are the neighbors of Otis. This includes The Westchester Senior Center, The Westchester Public Library, KJ's Restaurant, and The Custom Hotel (I'm sure I left someone out, sorry). The class promotes community involvement - whether that community is the class, Otis, the neighborhood and further beyond out into the city.

The above is what what termed a ghetto necklace and was branded with ngb. The forms used (shown in the amazing flash on the main page) were based on combining the forms of two very dissimilar objects and tracing their silhouette. They were cut from clear Plexiglas that was then spray painted a shocking pink.

I hope to be in that IL next semester (Spring).

Back At Otis

Yes, I started back at school Monday and I've already dropped off and picked up my laser cutting projects. Pictured above are the parts for my lamp and the new seat for the ANNEX Chair. Not pictured is the cover for my portfolio (I left that at school because I need to drop it off to be printed and bound), but the laser etched Aspen wood veneer looks so amazing!

Canopy

Solar_Sanctuary3_Jo_Angell, originally uploaded by Jo Angell Design.

This canopy is made with laser cut birch plywood and printed sailcloth. I think the forms were meant to look florid, but they come across more as undersea creatures - which is not a bad thing. Click-thepic to see more.
