Introducing Scrappy, a robot who watched nothing but Charlie Chaplin films and scrounged up the pieces to build himself the accoutrements - and mannerisms - of his hero. It’s my first major experiment into mechanical engineering with these figures (thank you, kid’s STEM mechanical engineering picture book); rather proud of this little guy.

The mask, created more as a fun project than a vigilante face-guard, features nearly 3000 LEDs coming together to turn your entire face into a massive display of sorts. While LED face masks do exist, none are as advanced as the one Hodgins made. Although it’s fairly low-res and low-poly, you’ve essentially got an RGB display wrapped around your face, allowing you to play videos, display text, or even apply anyone’s face as a graphic, allowing you to ‘become anyone’. DOOM? Sure. Peter Griffin of Family Guy? Why not. Tommy Vercetti from GTA Vice City? Hell Yes!
No clue what I’d do with it - other than confuse the dogchildren - but I want one.
Beautifully put and particularly apposite for me these days, as I consider wrapping one phase of my creative life and moving to something new — and (as yet) unknown.
All this needs is “I’m Kamala Harris, and I approve this message” at the end and it's the best campaign ad ever.
Cannot. Wait.
Still excited for this. Have to rewatch THE BATMAN.
