Early Spring Cleaning

Brent and I cleaned the studio a little today! Woo! \o/ We put the Legend of En mural above the steps leading up to the studio, and we filed a lot of last year’s artwork away so we can make room for the new stuff we make this year. Also, I found one of the [...]

And here you go.

Final fish, ready for hard coat of some kind. The fish is not really that large, Jackie is just extraordinarily short.

Floating Island Construction

Over the last couple of weeks, we’ve been in the process of constructing the floating island that serves as our protagonist’s home. The island will also be one of the first elements of our story the viewers will be introduced to, so we’re putting extra care into its awesome-ness. We’ve been pretty lucky during the [...]

MORE concepts and a new mascot!

The end of the concepting phase of our installation is nigh! And say hello to our custom Brent-built mascot, who has yet to be named (feel free to suggest):

Installation Progress, Pt. 2

Copied from Jackie’s blog at the Jackfolio: Installation opening has been pushed back to August, which the gang and I have ultimately decided is a good thing. This is excellent, because it means the show has a gallery to open in thanks to Kevin Soen and everyone else at the Borg Ward in Milwaukee! It’s [...]
