Assembling the Sentinel: A Cosmic Artifact Straight Out of a Sci-Fi Movie

In today’s post, I want to show you something that came out of the workshop recently: a steel object I’ve been calling either Sentinel or Belemnit during its design phase. (Yes, like the prehistoric cephalopod. No, it’s not actually a squid fossil. But squint hard enough and you’ll see the resemblance.)

Why I Kicked Elon Musk Out of My Sci-Fi Sandbox (and Why You Should Too)

Yeah, I know, I know. For a while there, it probably felt like my blog was becoming "The Elon Musk Daily." And honestly, you wouldn't be wrong. I've been writing about the dude, well, a lot. Probably disproportionately so, to be brutally honest. And it wasn't for kicks and giggles (though sometimes, his antics certainly provided those).

From Dread to Discovery: Creating Sci-Fi Art That Defies the Monday Blues

Mondays are universally terrible. Everyone over 18 knows exactly what I mean.

Before I ever touched steel or imagined building something tactile, I was quietly absorbing the visual grammar of science fiction and fantasy—mechanical beings, impossible morphing machines, and darkly lit visions of alternate futures.

How I Designed a Tiny Sci-Fi Steel Desk—A Futuristic Home Dock for My Wallet and Phone.

Inspired by classic science fiction aesthetics, I designed a compact steel "Holo Desk"—a sleek, futuristic object that sits on your entryway table or desk, ready to hold your phone, wallet, or keys. It’s more than a catch-all tray; it’s a small artifact of imagined worlds made real for everyday life. Never again will I scramble for my essentials during my daily lift-off.

How I Craft Sci-Fi Sculptures That Imagine Exoplanetary Fossils, Alien Pottery, and Lost Technologies From Distant Worlds

There’s something endlessly fascinating about the intersection of science fiction, technology, and art. For years, I’ve explored this intersection through sculpture — creating imagined relics of civilizations that may have once thrived light-years away, long before our species ever pointed a telescope at the sky…
