16 x 16 pixel graphic icons for 12 of my websites --icons appear in address bar of browser.

Then I turned these graphic icons into a small laminated badge. If you would like one of these to wear or collect, send me 1. ONE DOLLAR (OR a bit of your own art/creativity work) and 2. a self-addressed- &-stamped envelope, and I'll mail you back a laminated safety-pin badge in a paper wrapper displaying an index to all 12 icons/websites --all neatly folded and held together with an "it's all about me" sticker. Mail to Allen, 1465 Fairfax, Birmingham, MI 48009.

Engineering

noreply@blogger.com (allen bukoff) — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 04:27:00 +0000

I built this tool to help me hold and weld three steel rods to form a corner with three "perfect" 90-degree angles. Four of these will make a square steel cube or box. This is an example of how the left brain can work to create a "canvas" or "space' in which the right (and left) brain can play.

Old Croquet Ball in Welded Steel Cube

noreply@blogger.com (allen bukoff) — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 02:41:00 +0000

Eight-inch steel cube made from rebar with a wire-wrapped vintage croquet ball. Borrowed a friend's welder to make this. Pretty poor job on the welding--need some practice. Spent several college summers working in a machine shop and doing a lot of welding.

Have not had much time to create art lately. Just spent a week sitting on the roof re-shingling part of the house.
