bats, originally uploaded by boxspring.I have been working on some new cards for the upcoming DIY Trunk Show and a few other projects, like Halloween cards and the like. As most of my cards tend to be blank on the inside, I think these new cards will be as well, so they are not exclusively Halloween cards.Further mock ups will be showing up in the next few weeks, and more on the DIY Trunk Show

I've often thought about getting a scooter as a more efficient mode of transportation, as most of the time its just me going to where ever it is that I go. I've looked at all matter of scooters from gas-powered scooters like Vespas and the Honda Big Ruckus. I have yet to get anything, mostly because I've been waiting for something better to come along, something with an alternative power source.I

I’ve started a new blog in addition to the Boxspring Creative blog, Project: Wall. The purpose of the new blog is to show artwork I’m planning, working on and finished pieces that don’t necessarily fit in with Boxspring Creative or as projects for Gapers Block. Check it out every once in awhile.

The platen is removable

The Booth, originally uploaded by boxspring.I took this shot at the DIY Trunk Show, tons of stuff.I’m in the process of setting up an Etsy shop so that I can make it a bit easier to sell stuff throughout the year. I tend to only sell stuff at the few shows I do during the year, and I’m not really in any stores at the moment, so Etsy it is. Stay tuned for more info and the URL.

I am intrigued by this bike light/pump prototype I saw on gizmag, it is such an obvious idea I wonder why I’ve never seen something like this before. It gave me an idea the I may work on this summer, a set of LED lights for a bike using off the shelf flash lights and some wood. Though it wouldn’t be as cool as the pump powered light, it would be something interesting to try.

Zero pollution, runs on air, how cool is that? Cool enough that the only exhaust is clean air, at 0 to 15 degrees below zero.

Last Thursday I was watching a bit of chic-a-vision, you know the television equivalent of a chic flick. Anyway, I was watching Men in Trees, a somewhat interesting and comical show, when I noticed the music in the background, it seemed familiar and I realized it was a song by Eleni Mandell, "American Boy" from the album Afternoon. So afterwards I did a little digging into the other music

For the past month or so I haven't been posting much of anything in blog form or on flickr, not that I haven't been working on stuff, I have, honest. I've started working on a painting project tentatively called "52" a painting a week. The idea is to get into the groove of making stuff and to work out some ideas in a timely manner.The main problem that I'm having would be the damn cold weather,

Of course I will be at the show selling my greeting cards and some paintings, so stop by if you are in the area. I will be at booth 57 I think.On November 18th I will be at the DIY Trunk Show in Chicago at the Pulaski Park Auditorium, also selling greeting cards and whatever paintings I may have

For the past year or so I have been thinking about alternative fuel vehicles, be it gas-hybrid, hydrogen fuel cell or plug in electric. I haven't really found anything that meets my criteria, that being price, availability of the vehicle and the alternative fuel. Some of the vehicles I've found are worth a look at, especially if I were to live in more of an urban environment where a car isn't as

As "the man of ideas that sometimes get donetm," I have many ideas that never get done. I've been thinking about some of those ideas lately, so I am going to list some of the more interesting ones.1."The Crappy Chevy Cavalier Challenge", a race to doom using old Chevy cavaliers, first one to make it more than 4000 miles without fixing anything on the car wins. This race will have obstacles, and

I will be at Art vs. Craft in November on the 4th and 5th and at the DIY Trunk Show on November 18th. I will have some new paintings, some prints of the swan painting everyone seems to like and a new lamp or two. As for new cards, I have some new stuff that hasn't been

I am thinking about making prints of a painting or two. The swan painting seems to be a favorite of many people, as I brought it to a show a few weeks ago and had many inquires about it, but I don't really want to part with it for some reason. Once I find a place to print it in a nice clean format I will offer it for sale on this site.As for other paintings, I am slowly making more paintings

Since June of 2005, I've been keeping a record of how much I've been spending on gasoline. This wasn't just to see how much I've spent, I was curious about what kind of mileage I was getting in the green Saturn. I started doing this when gasoline prices were on the rise at the beginning of summer '05, when the fear of $3.50 gas was looming. I found it interesting how much prices fluctuated, and

I also like this electric commuter trike, The RIDER.I've been thinking a lot about alternative transportation of late, with the rise in gas prices and all. I would like to get something that would be better for the environment and lessen the punch on my wallet. Living as far as I do from

I had a dream in which I could fly. I had the ability to fly unencumbered by technology. Apparently this wasn't a surprise to people, like a flying man was just something that happens. The odd part of the dream was my best friend, Q, was a humanoid talking duck. People were not shocked that there was a talking humanoid duck; they were taken aback that Q could fly as well, but without using his

I don't know if this is me being morbid or just because I like the idea, but I want this coffin. And I want it in black, and I want to be launched to the Genesis Planet.In all seriousness, I do really like this coffin, it has a bit of style as opposed to the big box coffins one normally gets to chose from, and it's eco friendly and made of renewable materials.

Spring will bring heavy rains, thunderstorms

Seeing as though the weather is going to be clearing up, meaning getting warmer, I should be able to finish some of the stencil paintings

For some unknown reason I've decided to make my own pinewood derby car. I have no clue why, maybe some sort of yearning for a childhood memory, or just because I'm bored, who knows. I haven't made on since I was a Cub Scout, and at the time my dad did most of the cutting of wood, I did all the sanding and most of the painting. The derby car we made was modeled after an Indy car from the seventies

There is one thing that bothers me about people who drive expensive sports cars, if you can afford to drive it, you should be able to maintain it.

This is something that I can understand with an old bet up Chevy, but a Porsche? Come on, it may be related to

Fun stuff seems to fallow me around. I went to the renegade craft fair on Saturday, and within five minutes of being there I witnessed excitement. I was looking at some crafty stuff by the entrance when I heard a commotion, or more of an outburst, and looked over to see a man spiting in the face of a vendor. He was ranting about something that I couldn't make out, his medication I guess, and

I've suddenly became busy of late. I will be partaking in the DIY Trunk show this November, so I'm starting work on some new cards that have been floating around in my head for the past few months. I'm going to get everything ready far in advance this year; I'm tired of running around at the last minute getting stuff done. I've been neglecting some of my projects, the wood bike for one. I'm going

As everyone who reads my blog knows, I like bikes. I've been noticing lots of interesting bikes out there, as I've noted several times on this blog, and the bikes just keep coming. One of the bike companies I've been looking at is biomega, makers of the puma bike. Well, they seem to be at it again with the newest versions of the Amsterdam, a shaft driven bicycle. Though the frame isn't all that

I'm going to the art vs. craft show on saturday, not as a vendor, but as a customer. I wanted to take part in this one, but time got the better of me, and imissed the deadline. Oh Well. I really didn't have much product to do a show anyway, time has really been spent helping the boss with the bakery and our new endevors in the shortbread kingdom. I'm just going to see what other people are doing,

I'm working on the cruiser bike today, finishing the paint and cleaning the older parts that will remain for the time being. I'm debating if I should make a tank insert or not, it won't be a tank, more of a panel that fits the space. The idea is to put the flying bat monkey logo and/or the bike name, X1857. I've got all the parts for the front end, new fork and headset, handle bars and stem, so

Sorry, I haven't been real bloggy of late. I need to finish some photo work and start work on the wooden bike this weekend and then I'll post some stuff. The last few weekends have been dominated by working on the cruiser bike; I've been painting it when the weather clears up, adding layers of paint when I can.The wood bike will be something that I'm sure won't take as long to finish as the

I've been looking at bikes a lot lately, as many of you may have noticed, it just seems that lots of cool stuff is coming out and I thought I would share.Like this, another folding bike, well more of a collapsible bike than a folding one. The iXi bike doesn't fold as much as come apart in two pieces. It still looks like it should be a folder; the design seems to lend its self to that, with its

I was fliping through a magazine the other day and came across this cool folding bike by Puma and Biomega. I have had this fascination with folding bikes for some time now, don't really know why, maybe I'm looking for something to put in the car just in case. Anyway, this bike is a collaboration by Puma, Vexed and Biomega, it's more of a traditional looking bike than a folding bike, with its

Well, the mad search for a thrift store painting seems to be harder than I anticipated. I have yet to find the proper artwork to hack up into a 15x15 piece. I've started to think about making something completely different, something somewhat sculptural but small. This just might be as hard to do as finding thrift store art as my sculptural work tends to grow when I work on them. I don't really

I gave the cruiser bike, X1857, its first coat of paint. I'm starting off with a flat black base coat as I can not seem to locate my regular primer. I'm going to do a coat or two of gloss black and then give it a final coat of flat black to finish it off. I saw this done before on another bike; it should make the black really deep in color. Just with one coat on, it look great, no real bad

So, I'm thinking about this painting for "the school" and I have no clue what I should do. I had an idea, or I was inspired by something I saw in the new issue of Readymade, repainted trift store art. I guess The Wurst, an online gallery in Portland invited artist to do these things in a show called "Vintage Vandals."I like the idea of painting over someone else's work like this, sort of graffiti

I all most forgot, I picked up a new springer fork for the cruiser bike. It is chrome and matches the ape hanger handlebars nicely. I will post some photos as soon as I get the scanner working again. I think I'll just have a few in progress shots as I can't bring the bike out for paint yet due to the weather.This bike has been in the works for some time now, I think I bought it mid to late summer

I just got an invitation from "the school" to participate in an annual alumni exhibition called 15x15, so named because the work can not be larger than fifteen inches in any dimension. This is nothing special really; all alumni are invited to do something. I guess I am a bit miffed because I just got the invite and its due May 15th or so, no real time to make something new and exciting. I think I

I was flipping through a magazine the other day and came across some interesting items I thought I would share.The strida3, a folding bicycle with a gressless Kevlar belt drive.

I am intrigued by this one because of its clean lines and

I was driving home from work the other day, listening to crappy radio and being stuck in traffic when I looked over to the oncoming traffic and saw this tow truck zooming down the street through the intersection. This is nothing new mind you, people drive fast all the time, what made this different was the tow truck had a full load, one car on the flatbed and one towing behind. The driver

So, I have done it again. I went to the working bike collective today, with the thought of getting a new head for the cruiser bike and couldn't find anything that wasn't attached to a bike; none were to be found in the loose parts bins that would fit my needs. Well, as a last ditch effort, I ended up buying an old schwinn BMX with the head that I needed. Now I have another bike to mess around

I've been thinking about the postal jeep a lot lately, mostly deciding weather or not it is worth the time to put it back together. It needs a ton of work, most of the floor in the front needs to be replaced, not a daunting project, but it can suck. I guess the determining factor on weather or not I will move forward will be if the engine turns over, if it does, keep it and work on it, maybe
