Learn Electronics with Arduino

The book Eric Hagan and I have been working on for a while was published by Make. The book is in some brick and mortar stores, here is a link on Maker Shed.

Our book is for beginners, we wrote it for people with no background in electronics or in programming. It has lots of images. A shout out to our editor and publisher, Roger Stewart, and the production team from Happenstance Type-O-Rama, Liz Welch and Maureen Forys.

A few illustrations from the book and the cover. A lot of the content is also on arduinotogo.com, our site

And here are a few pages.

Tunnel Books:1975

I made some tunnel books based on “1975: A Prophetic Drama”, a play by 19th century American sculptor Harriet Hosmer. I am working on this project with Kate Culkin, author of Harriet Hosmer: A Cultural Biography. This project eventually will be a series of animated webisodes and an online annotated version of the original text. I showed a couple of these at Maker Faire in 2016.

Also in this gallery, paper versions of the characters that I built.

Time to update!

I have been sadly negligent in updating this for a while. I didn’t want to add a lot of content until I made this responsive. Well, just updated the theme, and now I’m going to update my content. So stay tuned…

Cardboard Handbag Theaters

I made a few cardboard theater handbags. Each was designed to hold a screen powered by a Raspberry Pi that would play a short animation. The sides for the theater were sometimes profiles of characters that appeared in the animation. A few images of the “handbags” in progress, most of them without animation.

Wax Paper Dress

Here are a few photos of a wax paper dress I made this summer. I cut the holes in the dress and all the pieces out with a vinyl cutter, and sewed them together by hand.
