Bespoke: Deep Sea Light

For my Beposke (one of a kind) object I am making a light. It is not meant to light up a room or really give off a lot but more to give a light blue glow to a dark room, it is atmospheric light, one to bring you into the realm of the aquatic, deep in the sea. It has two layers of light. one is right above the plaxiglass bottom to give a constant blue glow. Above that is a sheet of steel that will have many spinning disks which will hopefully rotate when wind is pushed passed them by the set of fans I am making and installing above the Sheet. Hopefully when all it put together it will cause a water effect or give a sense of a school of fish swimming by.

Anodized Aluminum Samples

Yesterday I finished anodizing my 2x2 samples. The idea of making samples is not always a fun one, a lot of work for no particular project, but after getting them done it always feels worth it. I am happy with many of the and there are a couple in particular that I really excite me. They open up possibilities for surface and color work for my Bespoke project and without spending time playing with different coloring techniques on the samples I would have no idea what I could do.

Pictures to come soon, once I get a hold of a camera.

Drew Struzan

Being a film driven person, as I am, I find myself being inspired by the work of many film, but also by the posters created to draw the people into the theaters. To be more precise Drew Struzan creates many works of art for movies I love. Struzan is one of the film industry's most recognizable maker. Whether you know the name or not you know the work. He has created posters for many of the best-known films including Star Wars, Back to the Future, and Indiana Jones. He brings with his work a distinct and detailed look, using airbrushed acrylics and finishing details in colored pencil. He captures the emotion of the film and give it a look of credability, over the many photoshoped posters of today.

Who is Sma?

Hello all, I am Sam Scheller, or Sma (created by my nephew). I am from the glorious La Crosse Wisconsin. The house of my childhood is on the Mississippi so I forever will want to live next to the water. I have always enjoyed anything art related. Drawing and creating form is what i want to keep doing and because of that is why I am now in college majoring in sculpture. I hope to move on from here and into the film industry, building and bring to life creatures and environments through practical effects. As for what I'm interested in or my hobbies that has already come up. Film, particularly horror, sci-fi, but movies in general is what I spend most of my time doing. I also have taken my life love for water and recently started designing my own Deep Sea T-shirts. Along with my Sister, I hope to soon start up a t-shirt company. And that kinda sums me up at this point in time.
