Burning the LED at extra voltage.

Leo's work

Because I am always broke, I take whatever work I can get. Usually its standing in the Freezing cold on the roof of Rubulad bouncing the drunks, however once in a while I get to do something interesting. Twin A, who generally kicks ass in all things blinky has been assisting artist and head of Disorient, Leo Villareal. Despite being some of the most polished LED art I have ever seen, Leo’s projects continue to grow in complexity. In this case 2400 points of complexity. Somebody has to stick all those lights up in their housing. That someone is futureBen.

OK, it isn’t the most exciting work in the world to unscrew tiny little lightbulbs, but any opportunity to work for an artist of Leo’s caliber is a welcome one. And as always, I am always broke! Maybe I need to come to grips with my 100$/month Mcmaster-Carr addiction. But these extra gigs keep me going, and I can quit anytime I want.
