I now have all of the scans processed so it’s just a matter of printing them. I have 44 scans but I’m going to pull 3 of them (one for being under aged, two for stylistic reasons). I’d like to hit 50 at least for the show which I should be able to do printing time wise. I have 21 of the large prints done and 30 of the small thank your prints done (5 of which haven’t picked up/dropped off yet).

The pillar is well on it’s way to completion. Sitting on the pillar itself at the moment trying to scrounge up funds for the acrylic part of it to be made. The cube is done and the internals prototyped but not polished up yet.

The text is still where I am lagging the furthest behind. It is really tedious work.

Currently there are 45 usable scans, 29 of which have been processed for printing (above image). Of the 29 processed images 27 have been printed small but only 20 of those have been picked up. Of the 29, 13 have been printed large and are ready for the show.

I’d be way further along on the big prints but blessedly some people have bought their large ones for themselves or family and friends. I also did some experiments to improve print quality that ate a few big heads. So I have actually printed way more big faces but not all of those are ones going to exhibition.

The light source cube is done. I might grind off a layer of it though and re-coat it. I’m trying to make it more UV resistant by coating it. However I have found the coatings to be surprisingly fragile. The stand for the cube is designed and the mock up made. Once I have some more cash after the holidays I’ll have it fabricated.

The text panels for the show are not far along. The text itself has been chosen but needs many hours of formatting to work. The custom font is ready and the prototype for it came out very well.

If you know of someone who would like to be part of this tell them to email me.
