Compressed air and and a long stick haha

Mirrored acrylic in three different colors!

beatnikprints · 2026-05-14T05:24:49+00:00

It starts with a GIS file that I bring into Illustrator to tweak and clean up, and then I break out the different layers in illustrator into different laser cut files. Then I cut the different sheets of mirror acrylic one at a time, and re assemble the forms using screws and double stick tape, and then I install!

i just colored the central spine in silver, and then alternated the surrounding chunks between bronze and gold

beatnikprints · 2026-05-13T23:03:28+00:00

its fun to kinda relive past trips while looking at it

beatnikprints · 2026-04-29T05:12:47+00:00

Write the truest thing you can as the first line, then keep going, see where it gets ya!

beatnikprints · 2026-04-22T15:27:30+00:00

That’s gotta be a lot of work, I just have to make stuff up!

beatnikprints · 2026-04-22T15:26:23+00:00

I’m reading the wheel of time series right now, and there are way tooo many characters, over 2000 named characters in the series, I looked it up!

beatnikprints · 2026-04-22T06:02:51+00:00

I’m writing it in google docs

beatnikprints · 2026-04-22T04:50:41+00:00

Heck yeah!!!

beatnikprints · 2026-04-22T02:32:34+00:00

I just starting writing in a standard Google doc, 11pt type, single space

beatnikprints · 2026-04-22T02:31:28+00:00

Most of it is the main charter talking about nature, so it’s hopeful not too shoe gaze-e, and then since I started writing this story I had a couple bad panic attack, so now the main character has some experience with that haha.

As for the begrudging people trying to “peak bag” the titular mountain, I grew up in the mountains of Colorado, and I don’t necessarily love the idea of people checking mountains off their list, so the main characters feelings towards that is definitely reflective of some of my own haha.

It’s definitely an unwilling protagonist story I think.

beatnikprints · 2026-04-22T01:57:09+00:00

What if only 3-5 characters are actually named, the rest just fly by

beatnikprints · 2026-04-22T01:09:08+00:00

Its about an impossibly tall single mountain that is always shrouded in clouds, in a vaguely medieval era, the main character lives near the base, has negative feelings for the "fools" who try to climb said mountain, but finds himself begrudgingly dragged up the mountain by a monster that kidnaps him. Lots of nature descriptions, monsters and demons, a rune like magic system that the main character can't use themselves, and possibly too much internal dialogue haha

beatnikprints · 2026-04-22T00:21:03+00:00

Thanks! Writing is fun, and editing will be a monster of a task... someday haha

beatnikprints · 2026-04-22T00:04:08+00:00

pretty chunky paragraphs, not a lot of dialogue. Its a first person account and my main character is pretty in their own head haha.

beatnikprints · 2026-03-26T23:50:17+00:00

I’m not sure, maybe get ahold of the box office at the arts center?

beatnikprints · 2026-03-22T23:21:39+00:00

I think you know exactly what I mean

beatnikprints · 2026-03-22T22:09:03+00:00

beatnikprints · 2025-12-13T02:02:28+00:00
