Urban Sculptures Exhibition [photo update]

Cole

I was invited to be part of the group exhibition ‘URBAN SCULPTURES‘ @ Pretty Portal – Urban Art Gallery over the last weeks.

Some fresh stuff from me, which is heavy on the Graffiti|StreetArt|BrickArt side, was and is currently still on display.

Thanks to widewalls for the coverage of the show.

LC-01

Cole

Another robot adaption from Ghost in the Shell. This one is from the Arise series. The original is called a Logicoma, which derives from Logistics Conveyer Machine. The challenge was to make the robot minifig size, while being able to fully retract as seen on screen.

I have a full gallery of breakdown shots if you are interested. Shoot me a mail for details.

‘The fire eating through layers, the core unveils it’s content. Trapped in the eternal play between macro- and micro cosmoses.’

This is a retake, improving the quality and adding some more atmosphere.

Off the Wall

Cole

This is stand alone piece as well an entity of something larger, eventually.

Off the Wall

Plastic Bricks

3.6 x 4.9 x 4.8 cm, interlocked

The stand-alone-piece consists of two perfectly interlocking sides. The two elements have many different arranging possibilities. There is also a version with barbed wire added.

There is a conceptual idea beyond the stand-alone-pieces. That is creating an installation consisting of 16 same ‘Off the Wall’ pieces while each one being individual as well as being part of a larger picture…  Head over to the Kickstarter campaign to find out more.

Sketchy business.

Although I am not entirely happy with it, regarding the parts available the closest I could get.

A retake of one of the first creations from the Enter the Brick series. This was necessary as the colours on the first image were totally off.

This image also serves as my introduction.

Think Tank Building Instructions now available!

Cole 1 Comment

After days of labour (much more than I thought) my newest project is finished.

I have been working on high quality building instructions of my interpretation of the famous 6-legged Think Tank robot from Ghost in the Shell‘s climatic showdown. Now available for sale for anyone who wants to build their own version.

[Link to the building instructions.]

  • Changes to the prior version have been made in order to replace all custom parts by ‘normal’ parts.
  • The instructions also contain alternative versions of parts where rare parts have been used.

Making instructions is quite some work if done manually. Considering the building steps like preparing all the images, editing them, creating and editing the parts list, concept and layout of the design and much more is a big project. Despite the labour, it was a great experience and helped me develop skills for other projects to come.

FYI: Any reward from this project will directly flow into the next projects.
