Summer Achievement

I consider myself being rather adventurous most of the time, in that I have my own little obsessions with the exotics and the unknowns. However, when it comes to art, I have a particular, and in some way, conservative taste. This summer, I have been building up my tolerance and expanding my palate to the myriad of other art forms besides impressionism. It took me quite a journey to take off my color lenses. But I think it's worth a shot. A friend once said, "art, after all, is just a social phenomenon." I think it somewhat makes sense.

EVEN techno.. hmm... hmm?

Hi Matisse.

Summer is enjoyable

in that you actually have a life.

Logo

I made this logo for the student organization I work for: SSB (Stanford Student Biodesign and Biopharma). Three brushstrokes represent the three letters of S, S, B, and the DNA double helix (biotechnology).

Mutilfunction Paintbrush Cleaning Set

My final project for a class ME203 (Manufacturing Design) at Stanford (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLHyktiN6tQ). I wanted to make a paintbrush cleaner that can 1) separate paint and turpentine after washing so that the liquid always stays relatively clear; 2) hold paintbrushes of different sizes when they're not in use; 3) hold a roll of paper towel for drying.

Furthermore, besides holding paintbrushes, it can be used for dining as well. The aluminum sink can be used for placing dining wares. The acrylic display disks can be used for umm...bread sticks? or forks and knifes... A soup bowl can be suspended on the swing-like structure. Doesn't that make an awesome meal? Hell yes!

The entire project is made of aluminum, acrylic and polycarbonate which I machined on lathe, mill and laser-camm. Three acrylic disks have holes of different sizes and can slide past each other.
