I’ve got a couple of ideas cooking for the next design in the series, so check back tomorrow to find out what’s coming up!

…or at least a sloppy pencil drawing of it.  I was working on a batch of Space Invader boards when I started thinking about the Fibonacci sequence (sounds familiar, right…how many times has this happened to you), and thought it might make a pretty sweet (or at least pretty geeky) cutting board.  I sketched out a quick rough draft on my workbench, and while the final design may end up a little different, I’m pretty happy with the potential of the idea.

For those unfamiliar with the Fibonacci sequence, here is the Wikipedia entry about it. Basically, it’s a series of numbers beginning 0,1,1,2,3,5,8… where the next number in the sequence is found by adding the two previous numbers together. Math being one of my weaker flavors of geek, this is about the extent of my knowledge on the subject, but it’s sufficient for my purposes. Keep an eye out for a finished version of this board in the next week or two, and check back once in a while to see what else my one-design-per-week project brings about.

The art festival was in this old warehouse thing that clearly doesn’t get used more than once a year (so dusty…), but it worked well for this event.  Here’s my booth, with a small and fuzzy view of my amazingly rad Pacman board that is not yet available for public consumption (I’m not even gonna post a real picture of it because I know when I do, it’s gonna be linked on a bunch of blogs and I only have two of them made right now…you only get that initial rush of links and orders once).

Click through for more pictures, including some shots of my first attempts at classy wooden jewelry (like classier than a space invader necklace…if that’s possible).

More to come.

“Being the super-responsible person that I am, I want to let everyone know that just six and a half hours from the time of this posting, I will be making my first-ever LIVE appearance at an alternative arts festival, ORANJE, in Indianapolis. Check out their website for more info!”

In Cameron’s defense, he’s been working his fingers to the bone to get stuff ready to show. So tonight from 8pm-2am, if you’re in the Indianapolis area, check it out! In addition to the Space Invader cutting boards he’s made so popular at ThinkGeek, and the TriForce boards & Space Invader coasters, necklaces, & keychains he’s sold on four continents from Etsy, he’ll be making the WORLD PREMIERE of the PacMan cutting boards (red ghost won! I have one, and it’s gorgeous!!) and his very first JEWELRY LINE!!! The stuff in it is absolutely beautiful. He brings out the natural beauty in the wood with simple shapes and gorgeous finishing. Tonight he’ll have necklaces and earrings, and hopefully other items will be joining the line soon. I’ll see if I can get some pictures online for y’all to drool over, just in case you can’t make it tonight.

I like both, though personally I think the red one is cooler with Pacman and the Ghost racing toward the powerup, but a few people have told me it’s a bit crowded, which I can totally see. Either one is going to end up costing more than my current boards because instead of 1 1/4 inch squares, they will be 1/2 inch squares, and thus much more work. Also, the one with the red ghost would require the use of bloodwood, which is an exotic, and therefore, pricey. I wouldn’t think either would be outside of the $150 to $175 range, which I know is way expensive, but if you look for handmade cutting boards online, I think I would still be a bit under the median price for something of this size and complexity.
