S. and also in Russia.  I think it’s pretty cool that over the years, he has crafted an array of personalized tools for his sculpting: Computerized Numerical Control machines, digitally operated kilnselectroplating tanks and anodizing equipment.

From his website:

[Chris’s] body of work is a collection of intricately machined metal sculptures that represent the combination of his unique metalworking style with a traditional approach to sculpture. By combining the math and logistics used in performing the complex tasks of modern machine work with a more emotive and aesthetic problem-solving ethic, Bathgate’s work shows that it is not creativity alone that drives human imagination, but also the need to solve and overcome problems that lead to inspiration. Be it through the necessity of his process or arbitrary guidelines set by the artist himself, each work becomes a creative response to a series of mathematical and subjective visual parameters. The result is a precise and other worldly art object that exudes a creative logic all its own.

His works are all meticulously planned out to the point where even the design sheets have a certain hyper-technical beauty:

All Of The Water On Earth

May 11th, 2012 | Space

The image above represents all of the water on the face of the Earth formed into a Moon-like sphere.  First of all, it looks pretty crazy to see the Earth without the oceans, pretty desolate actually.

 And secondly, I expected all of the water to look like a LOT MORE WATER.

Here’s an excerpt from the USGS:

This picture shows the size of a sphere that would contain all of Earth’s water in comparison to the size of the Earth. The blue sphere sitting on the United States, reaching from about Salt Lake City, Utah to Topeka, Kansas, has a diameter of about 860 miles (about 1,385 kilometers) , with a volume of about 332,500,000 cubic miles (1,386,000,000 cubic kilometers).

The sphere includes all the water in the oceans, seas, ice caps, lakes and rivers as well as groundwater, atmospheric water, and even the water in you, your dog, and your tomato plant.

If you’d like to see how this water is distributed, check out the graph below:

I also expected that biological water would take up a bigger piece of the pie.

I watched the movie “Hugo” last night, and this scene caught my eye.

Happy Cinco de Mayo

May 5th, 2012 | Robot

Hope you are enjoying the celebration of Mexican heritage and pride.  Cinco de Mayo may mean different things for the United States and Mexico, but we can all agree, it’s a great day.

Skull Illustration by Alex Konahin

May 3rd, 2012 | Brain

This a new Skull Illustration from Alex Konahin, a master of extremely detailed Pen and Ink drawings.  He created this for a company called Heretic that seems to be a little too Affliction-esque for my liking, but I would certainly wear this shirt with pride.  Apparently, it took him about 2 weeks to complete the work, and I’m guessing he had a few hand cramps along the way.

You also MUST take a look at some of his previous illustrations – really mind-blowing:

This bird is fantastic.
