Lighthouse Miniature

Lighthouse miniature I made for a model making class.  1:12 scale, meant for stop motion.  Mostly foam and poster board construction.  Windows were semi-translucent to allow LED lights on the inside to shine through.

Photoshop Fun

As part of a photoshop class, I was tasked with replacing the faces of older photographs/paintings with those of someone else.  I of course chose my parents, who are now part of an epic battle and old time movie, respectively.  

Elephant Head Puppet

This elephant head was created as part of a class focused on prop building.  It uses a speedometer cable and bike brake lines to create a realistic looking yet flexible trunk that can be controlled using levers in the back of the head.  The rest of the head is made using a variety of materials including wood, plastic, fabric, and caulking.  

Carl the Puppet

 Made as part of a halloween costume, this is a custom designed sack puppet inspired by the characters from Where The Wild Things Are.  

Knife Portrait

Visual gag to create the effect of a knife being thrown into a portrait, while in reality the knife is hidden inside and swings outward.  

See a video of it in action here: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/OEf04Nuttt4?feature=share

Fake Fire Pit

Created for a stage production at the Utah Shakespeare Festival in 2022.  Picture above doesn't show finished exterior but conveys the effect.  

Small Stool

Part of a class, custom made cabriole legs and frame made out of poplar.  Cushion was built from scratch and upholstered as well.
