Recently completed the addition of a case to the T-Pain Pitfighter mic. Case features a unique flip down locking mechanism and is handmade from black walnut, purpleheart, and maple. The case is lined with black velvet and also features some interior light work that is activated by opening the case. Big shout out (and thanks!) to T-Pain the Nappy Boy family! Super fun project and gave me a boatload of ideas for some future projects.

The importance of grain selection and looking for that ‘exact’ piece…
Holy shit I actually have a minute to post something! Here’s what I’ve been working on over the last few weeks. What’s on the bench you say? Well lets have a look!
Everything currently on the bench….
So lets take a closer look….
Steampunk “Kraken” Vaporizer…
Custom Flying-V….
T-Pain “Pitfighter” Microphone, sizing out a custom case.
I’ll try to up the frequency of my site posting, I’ve got lots of work still lined up so there will be no shortage of pretty bits to take pictures of. Stay tuned!
My recently completed Steampunk guitar made a short stop over in Cincinnati for a photo shoot with my friends over at WinterWolf Studios (Thanks!). Check it!
Here are some pictures of my recently completed Steampunk guitar. I opted for a more industrial look this time around rather than me usual natural wood finish. Based on a vintage electric this guitar features a built in light effect (sound-activated) and a raised cable input. I will be working on a few more instruments this spring so stay tuned! I’m also open to commissions and can re-build and re-finish any guitar. Contact me here.
2011 has drawn to a close, and what a hell of a year it was. Between getting married, going on a quick honeymoon, moving (which includes moving the shop!), attending a convention as the featured artist and working on finishing my degree, 2011 had a pretty full plate. This last year was definitely a long haul but I’m beyond happy with the results. My work showed up at the Billboard Latin Music Awards, The Today Show, and in a the music video for a Top40 single. Early in 2012 you can also look for my Steampunk Playstation 3 in an issue of Playstation Magazine UK (with a short interview).
So whats on the menu for 2012, then? How about a shitload of new gear! I’m currently finishing up designs for a couple new pieces and will be releasing details throughout January. 2012 is going to see a slight shift towards more instruments (guitars and basses) in addition to some ‘signature models’ of other gear (wings, etc) that will be introduced to my Etsy shop in the late spring. As usual, you can follow me on Twitter and on Facebook.
**I’m currently booking up for commissions so if you need something, now is the time to talk to me about it, my schedule is already filling up.**
Anyways, I just wanted to take this opportunity to say a quick thanks to everyone that has supported my work over the last year, all of my clients, and all of the people who help make deals happen. And an especially big shoutout to everyone at Nappy Boy, you guys are all amazing and I hope you have a great 2012! Thanks again everyone, stay tuned, there is lots more to come!
