"my new art" in esperanto. (something else new for me.) ideally i'll have a dozen or so. most, if not all, will have kinetic elements, either motor or hand-operated or both. all made from knex, fake grass and collaged images. click on the images to see a detail shot. thoughts? comments?

PLEASE, VALvE, BE MERCIFUL

mr. johnston, the creator of some seminal counter-strike source maps, especially dust2 the one i want to modify for one of my projects wrote back to me, quite quickly i might add, to tell me that, alas, he doesn't own dust2. :( but, he said, valve does and they're nice, happy, art-loving people. (hear that valve?) so, please, keep your various appendages crossed.

cheers.

i don't usually do this, but....

watch it.

mr. johnston, please say "yes"

i've officially contacted the creator of de_dust2 the map i hope to modify for an installation i'm working on. i hope he reads my email when he's in a good mood. keep your fingers crossed. :)
