Ferris Wheel - I made this when I was 19 for an undergrad design project - it was a toy ferris wheel made out of found materials called "The Swamp Bitch"

And another special thanks to Jean for making some great g/litterboxes !

Happy Helpers!

I have had some amazing helpers with my sets !!! I don't have pictures of everyone :( but I would definitely like to credit my friends Killi, Daniel, Jean, Candy, Hafiz, and Jeff as well as my mom and grandparents for giving me some of their time and art skillz! ;)

Some pictures of me, my sets, and their status in November:
((these pictures show the early stages of Cat Land's forest grove... )


((Daniel's working on the cross-section of the Cat Tunnel which you can see in it's final stages here, here, and here.))


((Jean making some g/litter box gondolas for the ferris wheel!))


((Over the summer, Hafiz made all four sides of the factory in an Adobe Illustrator doc, to be used as a template for the shop bot machine. This saved me from spending 1,000 years cutting out over thirty windows on the front of the factory alone. Eeef...))

((In November: Killi and Daniel helped me cover the entire front of my factory in cardboard bricks, which also saved me 1,000 years of gluing time...))



((Highlighted here is my Napoleon complex, I spread out -- taking the studio by storm...))
