The Smiling Savage is where I write about my projects ranging from laser-crafted art to retro-computing projects, music, games, photography, creative writing, and more.
I believe there's beauty in the grain of art, whether photography or wood. I specialize in creating personalized wood gifts, games, and art that have a unique playful warmth. All works for sale are “crafted with frickin' laser beams" in Arlington, VA.
Here’s what the Smiling Savage aims to provide:
Skill development - I aim to show how projects start and evolve, share recommendations, and improve at skills by practicing them.
Inspiration - I aim to show the creation of new things and look at old things in new ways, and hope both the journey and outcomes provide something fresh.
Fun - I aim to show and share the joy of making.
Fandom - I hope supporters of this journal will join me to “nerd out” on the things that we’re passionate about.
