I’ve had the pleasure of working on a lot of marketing campaigns for a lot of incredible movies this past year, but doing a Spider-Man movie one, let alone a comic shop collaboration felt surreal.
Go see Spider-Man: Brand New Day July 31st!

In September I drove 15 hours up to North Carolina to study metal at Penland School of Craft. It was an incredible experience thanks in no small part to my Instructor Abe Pardee and his assistant Casey Habel.
I wasn’t good at it, I was getting lots of burns, cuts, and my entire body ached. I was messing up a lot of my earlier projects and Abe said something that stuck with me though, “Metal is forgiving”.
When it was time for a final project there was no doubt in my mind I wanted to make a shield again. The last one was intended to be a yearbook and was now in the hands of FSU Archives, so I wanted to make one more permanent.
16 gauge steel, copper rivets, and leather straps made up the shield, but the design I chose to pay homage to the original Captain America Shield (which was historic for its revolutionary anti Nazi message at the time).
I replaced the white with Gold to make the colors Garnet and Gold.
I finished my time at Penland, and on the drive back, I wanted to have as many of my friends sign it like the original, the only issue was many had graduated, so in addition to stopping at FSU, I made a lot more stops across 2 different states
Thank you to everyone who signed it. This truly means the world to, I can easily say this is my favorite project to date, and represents some great memories, and I want to thank everyone who was part of my time at FSU that truly was one of a kind.
I wanted to wait until I left Tallahassee to make a post about the shield.
When I see the shield I get a mix of emotions and memories.
When I first made the shield, it was for a WWII Captain America Costume and when I didn’t finish it in time, it ended up laying in my closet for months unpainted.
I had the idea to make it FSU themed and make it into a yearbook of sorts to remember my time there, and reached out to @illiterate.author to paint it.
On April 17th there was a tragic shooting on campus.
I put the shield on the memorial alongside FSU memorabilia others had left alongside flowers. The shield is now being held by FSU Special Collections.
My heart goes out to the victims and their families of that horrible event.
I turned myself into a popcorn bucket.
Completely aside this this is terrifying, having a shot glass is one thing but the full scale head feels like it’s trying to talk to me.

Today, I had the amazing opportunity to premiere a project I spent most of the year working on, Never Forgotten, a documentary about the Vietnam Prisoners of War memorial, premiered at Vietnam Veterans Chapter #96
This was by far the most meaningful project I’ve worked on, and our incredible team of Olivia Stevenson, Marissa Rouse and lead by Audrey Shaw really made something impactful.
Special thanks to the Veteran Community, Florida State Legislature and so many more for making this project possible.
Finally finished my Thing Clobbering Fist, thought I’d share the process. Made it on my Bambu X1c, model by @yosh__studios

It’s kinda surreal to think this project, which was by far my lowest effort, is by far the most seen, totaling around 600k views.
Around finals week in the fall I got the idea to laser engrave Timothee Chalamet into a tortilla for my good pal @louis.inc , and though I don’t use TikTok frequently, it blew up, and got more than 500k views, and I made some other tortillas including Wicked, the declaration of independence (with nic cage on the back) and Superman, which the official DC TikTok even commented on.
I’m sure there’s a good lesson to be had about this, but it’s wild.
I don’t even know how to justify this project. I took an immersive video class and learnt about VR filmmaking and domes, and instead of just filming something normal, I jumped out of a plane.
Was honestly a remarkable experience, and I think learning about immersive filmmaking workflows was really spectacular, while I think any good film can transport you, I think when you’re sitting in a 360 degree dome, and watching me barrel towards the earth at 14,000 feet, it takes immersion to the next level.
Going through my backlog of projects, first one id like to share is the final Torchlight Volume 50:1 Scale model.
I was new to fusion 360 when I designed this, and went through a few iterations, some included laser cutting but ultimately I 3d printed the base that was modeled off of the blueprints, and then measured out in the real world for reference.
Included the screenshot of the floor plan, and Timelapse of us taking half the wall down.
When I applied to College, I had a plan, and it’s been one of the greatest joys of my life to throw that plan out, and discover new mediums to create in.
With that I chose to do my graduation photos in the two locations I felt I learnt the most, The Innovation Hub, and Torchlight. Showing off my projects, using a blowtorch, and using my fake talk show set for the photos was a blast.
Special thanks to @_____yami_ for taking the photos, @willhillstudio for running the LED wall, @lundseybanch for giving me the idea and the entire staff of the Innovation Hub for letting me take my photos.
