「BT BABY」 STRAND WORK IN PROGRESS
Day 2 of the feline revelation. #3dpenart #3dpen #crystalart #animalanatomy #💀 #🐯 #anatomyart #anatomystudy #mexicanartist #anatomysketch
All lines came together to create a giant cat skull. 💀 #workinprogress💪 Last week's creative exercise paid off, and the freestyle structure is coming to life! Thanks to Chakir from @levelupacademybxl for the cat skull and @3doodler for my fave sculpting tool. 🛠️ #animalanatomy #teratology #3dpen #3dpenart #artistamexicano #contemporarysculptor #crystalart #anatomydrawing #anatomystudy
When creativity stops, just smash things together. I put my @3doodler to use by connecting two pieces I had laying around — a glow in the dark skeleton and a large quartz cluster of pyrite and tetrahedrite. Maybe this will lead to some inspiration down the line. How do y'all deal with creative blocks? #artblock #creativeexercise #3dpenart #skeletonmemes #artinspo
I woke up thinking about the profile of a giant face and..... voila! Testing new techniques with the @3doodler pen and plastic filament to draw giant objects mid-air. What do you think, does it remind you of anything or anyone? #illustrationhowl #artstudiolife #3dpenart #artresearch #sculptorsofinstagram #artistamexicano
Memento mori. Produced through lost-wax casting and accelerated bronze patina. • This piece is headed back to a private collection with a newly constructed base. I first designed the base using a @3doodler pen, followed by a layer of wax, and then cast it in bronze. • • #bronzecasting #mementomori #anatomicalart #metalworking #bronzepatina #artistamexicano
Birthday week 🎉 #mementovivere
#steameducation works 👊 Last weekend, I had the chance to bring together my passion and background in art, with my skills in technology. Through a 48-hour Makers Marathon, students in the tech sector had a chance to use the @cityfab1 facilities to digitally design and build a prototype of an idea. It was such a thrill coaching these young people through their first experience with design. The art world is an incredible entryway into so many aspects of science and technology, which often gets overlooked in the standard educational system. When we teach through art, we can reach students who learn through doing. We need these creative thinkers to be part of the science and technology world, because they bring the innovative and diverse backgrounds that push the sector into crucial new directions. So for all those working in science and technology I would say this: reach out to artists, to makers, and to builders. I guarantee they have something unique to share about the learning experience.
