Yesterday was a Big Day for the Display booth, It left the nest for it's first flight into the real world.
The first landing point was to perch the largest part of the display (The Excavator Sign Component) on a borrowed sign. This General Contractor
( L. A. Drew Inc.) graciously allowed me to set up the Excavator on their existing sign for a photo shoot.

Then It was off to set up for the Mount Washington Valley's Chamber after hours event Hosted by Chalmers Insurance Group.
The Event went well with the display warmly recieved, And many connections made.

The Next Flight is scheduled for May 15th , the Business to business Expo at the Mount Washington Hotel In Brenton Woods. NH

This week has been a little trying, I received my new computer for the shop and spent much of my time Installing programs, swapping over files and configuring things to work with my Multicam Router and the Enroute Software.
After some Trial and error I think we are good to go. This New Comp. should speed up the rendering process when I'm working with reliefs and large files.

I was able to get a couple of signs routed to add to my booth before I disconnected the old computer.
This pic dosn't show this but the middle of this piece is raised and the two ends tapper away, adding some true dimension to the sign.

The booth gets it's debut this comming tuesday @ the Mount Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce,"Chamber after Hours" at Chalmers Insurance Group.
With This piece I wanted to show that I can take a shape like standard colonial casing and make it any shape you want, This would be virtually impossible with regular casing.
Then to go one step further I used Iron paint with a rust activator ( from the Modern Masters Collection) to take that Casing profile and make it turn to rusted metal.
How cool is that?

I wanted to add some things to my display to help show other things that can be done and to help define what it is I am promoting.

This is a screen shot of a "3 dimensional Signage" Sign in the Design stage of Enroute.
You can see here that I have built this in two pieces, a right and a left, tilted each so that they would be raised in the middle when they were merged together. (A Bit Of A Challange but now that I have done one I have the technique down.)

This one is difficult to see but it says, "Anything is possible".
I created a vector or Drawing of the profile of a piece of standard colonial Casing, then I extruded that shape around this oval. Try that with store bought casing!
I wanted this to show just what can be accomplished in a real world situation.
It will show much better when it gets p

This is an on going story of my explorations into the artistic world,chronicling the process of this journey. Highlighting my successes as well as my failures. I'll try not to focus on the failures, but they are what has taught me the most.
I Owe the ability to take this journey to; My Mom
(for she bred in me a drive and creativity required for this type of trip) My Incredible Wife and Children for their support, and to the world of creative people that inspire me everyday.
