Lego Cuckoo Clock

 

This is a project I made for the Gallery One resident artist's show in the fall of 2017.

It is based on the EV3 robotics platform.  The bird comes out about half way through the 2 minute video.

You can see the EV3 in the photo below:

Lego Dragon - Putt-putt course.

The Gallery One asked me to create on of the holes for a Putt-Putt golf course to be held in the building.

The Ball rolls down this big red tongue

It triggers a sensor and the eyes light up and the wings flap.

There is  a recording of my voice saying, "Now That's a Spicy Meat-Ball!"

I asked if it could be a big dragon where the ball rolls down the tongue into the mouth, he eats it and then it comes out of his butt.  They said yes, so I was in!

Hole #2    -  awesome.

Brand New Mindstorms robotics kit

That's Me in the Belly of the Monster

Lego Lamp - The Path of theZodiac

This is a project that I put together in the fall of 2016 for the annual Gallery One Member's Show.

It is a floor lamp constructed of thousands of Legos, and telling a story....

There is a large blue tree and a certain path from the bottom to the top wrapping around it.

The path passes many figures as you travel it.

They are part of the story....

the "medium" is colored plastic from Denmark.  Ha!  I crack me up.

Alchemy Lego Floor Lamp

Here is a project that has nothing to do with metal-smithing.  

Or does it?

I always wanted to make a Lego lamp.  

The little blue and red transparent pieces just seemed to be begging for a light inside.

So I waited to find Legos at yardsales and whatnot until I had enough.  But it couldn't be just a bunch of random legos.

I decided to make  a lamp that tells the story of Alchemy.  The base has the four classical elements of Water, Wind, Air and Fire.
