Things are looking good, most all of the artwork is just about done. Looks like everything should be good to go in time for the opening.
Jason Scott , director of the BBS: The Documentary will be flying out to help contribute to the show. Copies of the documentary will be available.
RaD Man the creator of the group ACiD will be present as well. He has compiled a DVD that has every ANSI made ever up until 2003, and a very nice viewer to go with it. Definitely saved me hours of work having to go through thousands of ANSI’s to choose the artists for the show.
Doug Moore, the owner of sixteencolors.net, a site that has indexed every ANSI made to this day will by flying up from Washington DC with his wife to help contribute and let people know about the newer version of his site that is going to have alot of features that willl make browsing / searching ANSI a lot easier.
The world famous Acid Girls will be flying up from LA to spin some sweet dance hall tunes during the show.
| The lightboxes are basically done, ranging from 1 to 4 feet tall. I switched to pine for the backing to help with their weight, oak and plywood together was getting pretty heavy for something that large. I found smoother jewelry door hinges and added a sinking magnet fastener to help easily open and close them. I also mounted the fluorescents so that they were somewhat movable to help later tweak light distribution. For the staining I chose a pretty dark color so the wood wouldn’t clash with the lit up artwork that much. I apologize for the not so-unveiling crappy phone-camera pictures, you should be able to get a good view of them at the opening this saturday at 7PM. |  |

The propeller proto boards are variousely mounted in frames made from planed construction lumber, coated with a custom blended wood stain, and then sealed with a polyeurathane finish. For a final touch we added a polish of an automotive rubbing compound. Some up and down buttons we mounted separately in the wood wiring from behind, and some right on the board. A big thanks goes out to ACCRC to help provide the LCD’s |
So don’t forget, this saturday opening at 7PM. I mention free drinks?
