A Work in Progress

I posted this piece the other day but made a lot of progress on it since so I’m posting an update.

The Helter Skelter

Its not just a Beatles song… the Helter Skelter was a slide ride at Thompson & Dundy’s Luna Park in Coney Island from about 1907-1915. Its the next part of the model I will be 3D printing to tie together the two pieces of boardwalk I have already completed. I’m starting to grapple with how […]

My old boss (and one of my favorite artists) Donald Lipski and his wife Terri made it out to the Coney Island Scan-A-Rama 3D Portrait studio yesterday. It was great to scan them and give them a personal tour of my show in the Coney Island Museum!

R.I.P. Carlos

One of the local Coney Island guys I have known since he was a boy died this week. Carlos had a heart attack just short of celebrating his 40th birthday. He was a hustler at one of those crooked game joints you can never win at, but he was a nice guy underneath it all. […]
