This is an art installation made to look like oversized sticker sheets. Some of the
"stickers" are layers paper and acrylic art pieces and some are printed foam cut outs. On display at @rotofugi.bsky.social ! #artinstallation #stickers

Learning is hard! I made this in @womp3d.bsky.social I'm still figuring out how to build things. Ideally I'd like to give a little more movement to the sculpt. Practice, practice! #kasaobake #yōkai #yokai

Working on Guy-os. Laser cut acrylic card backs with 3D printed resin figures. The figures will eventually be painted and have a protective box that sits over them. They'll be able to be displayed "in packaging" or removed if preferred. 🐯🍤🏔️🍅 #lasercut #3dresin

I'm finally happy with how this came out. 😭 So much trial and error and it's not that different from my previous pieces but uses lots of fun new techniques. #paperart #lasercut

I've been working on these sticker sheets to turn them into a wall installation. All of the character "stickers" will be paper and acrylic pieces and the wallpaper and foam board piece are the "backing card" and "packaging header". #stickersheet #stickers #artinstallation
