Here are a few photos of the work desk I made for Light + Space Studio. They wanted a counter height desk on wheels for their digital work station. Dimensions: 40 inches tall (with casters), 60 inches long, 24 inches deep. I welded up the frame using angle iron. I laid in a 1/2 inch [...]

Bruce Mau’s Incomplete Manifesto
I think I’ve mentioned this before, and I’d bookmarked this link with an intention to post quite a while ago, but my friend Sean just reminded me how dang awesome this is. Bruce Mau’s Incomplete Manifesto. It’s probably one of the most liberating, exhilirating, and encouraging documents I’ve ever read in my life, seriously. Follow [...]

Boys are back in town!
Saturday night reminded me of the video above! Had a great time running around with the guys on Saturday night, going to the Shelter show, mojitos, climbing walls, hula hoop contest, deciding whether or not jumping in the neighbors tree from the balcony was a possibility (video forthcoming). Excellent male mayhem and with documentation. Heather [...]

Sign
My Jr. High humor always kicks in when I see signs like this…. It’s on the same level as Lake Titicaca – forever funny in the mind of a 13 year old boy…

Damn, Art is Cool!
“Stability and Other Tenuous Positions” A collaboration between artists Ward Shelley and Alex Schweder. Just heard about this on NPR a few minutes ago and had to get online to check it out. “Life inside “Stability” is, predictably, quite unstable. Every movement one of them makes has an impact on the entire landscape. One person [...]

Sign of the times…
Currently my least favorite phrase right now is “In these tough economic times”. Nevertheless, in these tough economic times it’s sad to see long standing businesses, especially mom and pop shops, going under. I went into an auto parts store today that is closing it’s doors; been in business for 53 years! One employee said [...]

Luscious Sculpture Goodness
I found this artists’ work from, none other than, Kanye West’s blog. I don’t why I should be surprised, but Kanye’s blog is really amazing – but I never would have expected to find some crazy ass good sculpture work. Anyways, this sculptors work is nothing short of amazing! Henrique Oliveira Beautiful work, all made [...]

Project Update (Work Desk)
I’ve been building this work desk for Light + Space Studio for a couple of weeks now. Unlike other commissions I’ve had a rather open ended deadline with this piece which has given room for more interesting developments and experimentation. The basic structure of the work desk is angle iron, and the shelves will be [...]

Salton Sea Bow and Arrow Experiments
Vintage Broadhead Cedar Hunting Arrows. What a great phrase! I brought along my vintage broadhead cedar hunting arrows (vbcha) for some fun in the sun target practice and all around mayhem. Here are a few photos from the Salton Sea Bow and Arrow Experiments (SSBAE): On one of many visits from the Park Ranger, we [...]

Ace Hotel Palm Springs – radness confirmed!
On our way back from our Salton Sea Camping Trip, Heather and I stayed at the newest addition to the Ace Hotel lineup, Palm Springs. Our room was only $89, and we both agreed that we would have paid double for our accomodations. Clean, well designed, and fun details really make all the difference. Even [...]

ETrine’s Tight Club
Tight – as urban dictionary’s 6th definition of the word suggests – a person or a thing that looks good, acts cool, is cool or stylish. Get in to it! I often avoid (re)posting rad stuff I find around the interweb on my daily perusals – but I’ve decided that it’s just silly. I’m giving [...]

Salton Sea Recap (2- The E Trine Lens)
I opted not to bring along a camera to this years trip, but I did have my trusty handy dandy phone with me the whole time. Which, now that I think about it, is kinda sad – that I had my phone with me the whole time while camping. Anyways, I did manage to capture [...]

Salton Sea Recap (1)
I am back from an amazing weekend spent in Californias forgotten wonderland, the Salton Sea. As I got into bed last night I felt so peaceful and so refreshed from this past weekend away; it was a perfect storm of soulful nourishment. The group this year was amazing! Despite all the hype, we actually had [...]

To the Salton Sea We Go!!!
Heading out tomorrow to the Salton Sea! I’m so pumped about this years trip! We’re camping for two nights at the sea, and then staying at the Ace Hotel in Palm Springs on Sunday night. I think there’s about 30+ people attending this years camping trip, and it will surely be a wonderful time! Some [...]

Fiberglass and Resin
I’m sure this is a normal occurence for my buddies who regularly work with this material, but it’s a new one for me. But I’m not glassing surfboards, I’m building prototype molds, and it’s dang fun, and messy. Intricate sanding and grinding with a Dremel tool. Now I see why it’s important to wear a [...]
