R2D2 Bin

Who says Wall-E is the only environment friendly robot?

This was actually my first project at this scale, two years prior to the Espresso Bar. This life size R2 droid is made from a large swing-top trash bin, foam board, duck-tape, spray paint, and other top secret materials. R2 is also equip with a voice box attached to his swing-top (balanced out by two coins).

Phoenix Tattoo

As usual, a friend approached me with an idea. She wanted to get a Phoenix tattoo on (or around) her shoulder. So I went over to my trusted friend Google Search, and asked it to tell me all about the Phoenix (definition, symbolism, colors... ).

A lot of the reference Google Images gave me was fairly straight forward. An Image of a flaming bird copied onto someone's lower back, shoulder, chest, calf, and so on. That got me thinking, how can I take it a step further. So I drew out a template of a human shoulder from the top, front, and back view. Here are the results:
Note that the template is drawn from imagination and is not a precise representation of female anatomy.
