It's his lack of ability as a superhero that hints at his inability to grow up, that for all his posturing he's essentially a child. All his equipmunk is rough, dinged up, and kinda crappy, and is over the top in both scale and function to make up for his lack of actual prowess at pwning. He assembles his weapons, armor, and vehicles from various aspects of Pop Culture that he finds lying around, with a preference toward items already in line with a battle mentality. His main enemies are noobz, enemies who couldn't ever actually beat Atom Boy because they're not human, anymore than the villains in comic books and action films are. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54232e51e4b0005f145c463f/54232fe8e4b00401f5bb380a/54650d62e4b06a886349b0bb/1415909233443/_MG_8032_ver2.jpg Atom Boy - Atom Boy The character of Atom Boy is the quintessential superhero, with the one fatal flaw that he's not very good at it.

It draws from aspects of Pop Culture that are obsessed with the hero story, the trials of which parallel the trials of growing up. In Campbellian terms, these stories are more obsessed with the "trials" part of the story, and less with the "return." The engaging part of any story is the battle, the fight, the struggle, and the areas of Pop Culture that I investigate and pull from-namely comic books, video games, action movies, and cartoons-are all as obsessed with the battle as the fans who actively engage these works. There is a Zeitgeist happening where the "Boy-Men," through reflexive anti-reflexivity, are extending their youth into a new idea of what it means to be grown up, where play, humor, and wit have a higher place than more serious pursuits. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54232e51e4b0005f145c463f/54232f86e4b076742060f852/5424262ee4b0ac0d5fc7ae0e/1411671169382/DSC_9598.jpg Popocalypse Now - Atom Suit, Boomtubez, and Command Console Disthrashterpiece Installation Shot Multi Media Installation Graduate Thesis Show Snite Museum of Art University of Notre Dame   https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54232e51e4b0005f145c463f/54232f86e4b076742060f852/5424269de4b0dca82631c0ee/1414512132286/DSC_9619.jpg Popocalypse Now - Atom Boyz Equipmunk Disthrashterpiece Installation Shot (Weapons Rack) Included in shot: Hammernaut Tenderizer 5000, Lil' Sluggertron 5000, Lightknife, B.H.J., Lightsaber Crate, Popocalyptic detritus https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54232e51e4b0005f145c463f/54232f86e4b076742060f852/5424615ae4b0e868894b2c27/1414512186332/DSC_9620.jpg Popocalypse Now - Atom Boy Ideation Board Disthrashterpiece Installation Shot Included in Shot: M.P.B.F.G. 5000 (Supercharged Minigun Pistol with Lightsaber Ammo) redesign poster, several Powerfist App designs, Atom Boy Mecha Go-Go, Hammernaut, and Lightknife schematics https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54232e51e4b0005f145c463f/54232f86e4b076742060f852/54246192e4b0e868894b2cb9/1412617976012/DSC_9624.jpg Popocalypse Now - Diagnostic Work Bench Disthrashterpiece Installation Shot Atom Boy's Command Center can be seen as both a resting place for Atom Boy, his base of operations, and his workshop. Atom Boy spends his days requisitioning supplies from the Popocalyptic environs, as well as pwning noobz, and it is at his diagnostic workbench that he assembles this Popocalyptic detritus into awesome equipmunkz.   https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54232e51e4b0005f145c463f/54232f86e4b076742060f852/542461c3e4b0aded9e4a2868/1414512243728/DSC_9625.jpg Popocalypse Now - Command Console Disthrashterpiece Installation Shot The monitors of the console expound upon the story of Atom Boy and the Popocalypse. The center monitor plays 4 videos on a loop: Intro Trailer, Tokusetsu Kaiju Battle (B Roll), Disthrashterpiece Music Video, and Hammer Time. The right monitor displays security footage of the exterior surrounding the AtomFort, while the left monitor is broken. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54232e51e4b0005f145c463f/54232f86e4b076742060f852/5426eecfe4b0c3466d957efa/1412619130848/DSC_9626.jpg Popocalypse Now - Command Console Disthrashterpiece Installation Shot This shot shows off the underneath of the Command Console, more screens, stacked computers, etc. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54232e51e4b0005f145c463f/54232f86e4b076742060f852/5426ee15e4b0a137864b08d6/1414432740209/DSC_9629.jpg Popocalypse Now - Insulation Tubing/ Wiring Disthrashterpiece Installation Shot I imagined Atom Boy's Command Center to more closely resemble Mad Max, Brazil, and Star Wars (think of interior shots of the Millenium Falcon with all the extraneous wires and tubes), than the more tidy and organized style of Batman. Atom Boy is definitely more anti-hero than Batman, and no apocalyptic environ is correct without lots of random crap lying around. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54232e51e4b0005f145c463f/54232f86e4b076742060f852/5426ee46e4b0a137864b093b/1414512265082/DSC_9631.jpg Popocalypse Now - The AtomKart (Undergoing Repairs) Disthrashterpiece Installation Shot I feel it's a rampant stereotype in apocalyptic films to have some type of vehicle either a) being used throughout the film, b) under repairs somewhere in the background, or c) all of the above. As it happens the AtomKart is undergoing modifications in the Disthrashterpiece Installation, while it can also be seen driving around in the Disthrashterpiece music video. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54232e51e4b0005f145c463f/54232f86e4b076742060f852/5426ee7de4b098d4a87be8ee/1414512298538/DSC_9640.jpg Popocalypse Now - Atom Suit and Boomtubez Disthrashterpiece Installation Shot The AtomSuit is comprised of a powerfist, Jetpack, assorted belts and red Converse Battle Bootz. The Boomtubez produce the boom, aka all the music that goes along with the videos playing on the central monitor of the Command Console. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54232e51e4b0005f145c463f/54232f86e4b076742060f852/5426ef03e4b0c3466d957f4b/1412621915312/DSC_9641.jpg Popocalypse Now - Disthrashterpiece Full Shot (Opposite View) This is a shot from the opposite wall from the entrance to the work, and shows how the installation resides in the space. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54232e51e4b0005f145c463f/54232f86e4b076742060f852/5432d3fde4b026f83ad9c1e9/1412623617104/DSC_9622.jpg Popocalypse Now - Detail Shot, Side of Monitors Disthrashterpiece installation Shot This shot shows some behind the scenes action, particularly the broken strut laying on the ground, excessive hosage, as well as the gross orange filing cabinet that must contain important files of Atom Boys, obvi. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54232e51e4b0005f145c463f/54232f86e4b076742060f852/5432d46ce4b03abd08f7a13c/1412623830625/DSC_9623.jpg Popocalypse Now - Detail of Interior of Command Console Disthrashterpiece Installation Shot This shot shows the hidden guts of the command console, just sort of lazily exposed and hanging out, taped together enough to get the job done, although what that job is nobody knows. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54232e51e4b0005f145c463f/54232f86e4b076742060f852/5432d499e4b0737d0ffb2667/1412624091188/DSC_9633.jpg Popocalypse Now - AtomKart Garage Area Disthrashterpiece Installation Shot Wings, Nupwnitronium Armor plating, extra wheels, cannon parts, etc., for repairing/ modifying/ upgrading the AtomKart. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54232e51e4b0005f145c463f/54232f86e4b076742060f852/5432d4d1e4b0c3f227e3f00d/1412624268776/DSC_9642.jpg Popocalypse Now - Boomtubez and AtomSuit Detail Shot Disthrashterpiece Installation Shot This shot shows how we get the Boom from the Boomtubez, as well as how carefully Atom Boy takes care of his Suit while not in use. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54232e51e4b0005f145c463f/54232f86e4b076742060f852/5432d4bde4b0a7d01075ac61/1414462239825/ Popocalypse Now - Intro Trailer This is the Intro Trailer to Atom Boy/ the Popocalypse, in the style of The Dark Knight Rises teaser trailers. I wanted to show off the character of Atom Boy, and have limited audio and a subtle background track to add intrigue without giving too much away.

The style of the video was inspired by the Tokusetsu special effects of Power Rangers, with the grow sequences in the beginning, the staged, slow moving, stylized fighting of the characters, lots of sparks, and the slightly obnoxious, simplified and repeated Power Rangers theme playing throughout. The whole video is shot on a green screen with foam rocks in the foreground, implying either a), the entire Popocalypse just looks like a bunch of green screen sets with bad props, or b) by saying B Roll in the title, there is still some editing to be done on the video. Aka, lotta 4th wall play.

It was shot with heavy metal music videos in general as well as music videos released with action movies in mind, with lots of random band shots and driving around in vehicles, because that's what's cool. Lil' Sluggertron 5000 and the AtomKart make their debuts in this video.

Hence Hammer Time, cuz duh. The music in the background is a cover of a Megaman Boss Fight Song, with lots of gratuitous hammer footage.

Appropriating the visual cues of Car Culture and Sci-Fi into the formal setting of functional pottery, through the lines and forms utilized, is the focus of my creative drive. I strive to bring animation and dynamic movement into my work, by pushing outside of the "normal" boundaries of ceramics while respecting traditional techniques.

The Xenomorph (the name of the Creature from Aliens) part of the title came about because the end of the spout does look like a mouth, and the whole spout is coming out of very liplike attachments, but my version is quite a bit more "cute" than its namesake. I realize it also kinda looks like a dinosaur, which happens. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54232e51e4b0005f145c463f/57dee612893fc0fde4f15219/57dee88437c581c512a58d3e/1575731065408/C1.jpg W.I.C.S.

The shaft/ handle was a component I already had, along with the tubing and the fuel canisters, which were modeled off of paint cans but became a different type of bottle on the final model. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54232e51e4b0005f145c463f/t/547e36c5e4b0622f6386530b/1417557705541/ Process Casting the side vents, teeth, and some spikes out of aluminum. The teeth on the final piece are actually the original foam model. The vents got cleaned up and polished for that bling-bling. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54232e51e4b0005f145c463f/t/5480c422e4b0e760559a8c79/1417724963165/ Process Rendering of G.O.D.. The grip is appropriately sized for a human hand, while the rest of the gun grows from this point to be kind of obnoxious. Also, it is technically a snub nose revolver, partly because those are cool looking and partly due to the irony of the juxtaposition with the massive scope. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54232e51e4b0005f145c463f/t/5480c646e4b0f8df17a0576e/1417725511335/ Process This is a still from a video of the G.O.D. gun rotating. I picked this really obnoxious background to reference the Star Trek Holodeck/ Reboot 3D world aesthetic. This video, along with the M.P.B.F.G. 5000 redesign poster, were attempts at incorporating 3D modeling into my work without having to build the solid objects. This video never actually made it into the Disthrashterpiece video loop. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54232e51e4b0005f145c463f/t/547e4d02e4b00a71b2d02004/1417563399252/ Process "Bloody smiley face" buckler shield shoulder pad. I went this route with the shoulder pad to pat homage to that great post-modern comic book, Watchmen, along with adding some asymmetry to the costume. The plastic used to vacuum from the shield was red, so it was a quick step from there to get the red to come through the paint by burning it (outside, while wearing a mask). I also riveted the shield to a wooden backing plate covered in sand and plastidip, to add a rugged feel to the backside. The graying/ wearing effect comes from putting the piece back in the sandblaster after paint. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54232e51e4b0005f145c463f/t/547de60de4b0b9a992dc270f/1417537045633/ Process The monitors mounted in their boxes and raised on their support columns. At this point everything is being held in place by gravity, while the pipe clamps here are serving the function of holding the ribbed columnar element and metal sheafing in place, prior to being bolted and screwed together. In the final product the clamps serve as an aesthetic device. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54232e51e4b0005f145c463f/t/547e3474e4b05c5805c94b0a/1417557112528/ Process CNCing of oversized screw caps. Honestly, I'm mostly putting this pic in because I thought the CNC was the coolest thing ever, and watching something I designed on a computer enter the real world is pretty awesome. Also kinda gives away that the Hammernaut is made of foam. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54232e51e4b0005f145c463f/t/5480ca25e4b09257c923b869/1417726509824/IMG_0305.JPG Process M.P.B.F.G. 5000 first iteration, foam, wood, pvc and "found" object construction. The biggest hurdle was making a supercharger and a gun with suck ridiculous proportions fit together and flow aesthetically. I was also really interested in defying certain logic with guns, namely that they're longer than they are wide or tall to help guide the projectile along, so M.P.B.F.G. 5000 is quite a bit taller than it is long. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54232e51e4b0005f145c463f/t/5480c55ce4b024050a4c1979/1417725278231/ Process This angle is pretty awesome. The gun body was originally going to be cast in porcelain, so that there would be that really nice bright white to add to the whole "God gun" element. Also, the detailing was meant to make this thing look very tactical. This was also my first time playing around with textures and materials with rendering, so it's a little over the top. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54232e51e4b0005f145c463f/t/547e57e4e4b0c6f676e474c2/1417566183979/ Process Detail of knurling on forend of B.H.J.. This detail was achieved by using a pull knife to make the lines wrap around the curvature and coming back in with a triangular file. Aka, probably not the correct way to knurl, but I didn't have the time or patience for that. Just this little bit took 6-7 hrs, while the knurling on the stock took 10. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54232e51e4b0005f145c463f/t/547de4bae4b011c4c0ad46c8/1417536702108/Console+Start Process Very start of the console, these three cabinets were screwed together and modified to hold 3 27" tube tvs. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54232e51e4b0005f145c463f/t/547df085e4b0fa391d6ce1b4/1417539721326/ Process Different angle on the console, found the orange filing cabinet which happened to fit perfect underneath the monitors as a third support strut. The strut on this side was fabricated from two pieces of steel that were already that shape. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54232e51e4b0005f145c463f/t/547e54a0e4b02c116e3a83a5/1417565353751/ Process Early mockup of barrels with spikes. The spikes on top ended up being ditched partially due to negative feedback and also due to time/ deemed unnecessary, as the gun is already pretty ridiculous. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54232e51e4b0005f145c463f/t/547e5952e4b0960ac977e462/1417566556003/ Process B.H.J. finished and wielded. Did not take into account that the bayonet would get in the way of the grip. Also, being all steel and wood, this thing is HEAVY, but it's cool, Atom Boy can wield it one handed like a sawed off is meant to be handled. Note the txt horns, which were branded in. Also, the start of the AtomBeard- eat your hear out Hugh Jackman. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54232e51e4b0005f145c463f/t/547e39a7e4b05f085be87e5d/1417558446798/ Process Mostly finished Hammernaut, minus a few wires and some distressing. I ended up throwing the rockets on the potters wheel and using underglazes to get that really obnoxious pop and shine, while the fuel canisters are actual decommissioned nitrogen bottles. The point of building it out of foam was to make it light enough to wield in one hand, unfortunately the ceramic and aluminum, although thin, add enough weight back (possibly along with the resin used to seal the foam) to be too heavy and unwieldy for one hand, but two isn't so bad. Unfortunately, the AtomSuit needs to be redesigned if the Hammernaut is ever to be wielded live. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54232e51e4b0005f145c463f/t/547e4a40e4b056746d7f56d3/1417562692943/ Process Post paint, early stressing Jetpack body. Missing the fuel cell at this point. There is an led hidden behind the frosted plexi a la Iron Man. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54232e51e4b0005f145c463f/t/547e3869e4b07096b3bd6e1a/1417558127004/ Process Mocked up, primed, and smoothed head of the Hammernaut. The aluminum is in a rough polish at this point. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54232e51e4b0005f145c463f/t/547e4aa8e4b03d37576c8980/1417562796267/ Process Stressed Jetpack tubes. The curved portions down at the bottom ended up being thrown on the potters wheel, with flanges to hold the tires from the power washer, which became the rocket ends. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54232e51e4b0005f145c463f/t/547df1c1e4b0aefefea29770/1417540041292/ Process Same strut painted and "worn." I went to town on it with a grinder, and used a palm sander to soften the edges of the wear to make it look more time based than inflicted. Eventually the metal was force rusted to look old. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54232e51e4b0005f145c463f/t/547e37d6e4b03d37576c2718/1417557976157/ Process Rough cuts of the sides of the Hammernaut. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54232e51e4b0005f145c463f/t/5480d00de4b082d85a1c0d20/1417728021566/ Process M.P.B.F.G. 5000 completed. Learned a lot of lessons with this piece. I had been hung up for a while on making really finished looking work, and for me that meant crisp, clean, to the point of looking "real." I learned after the fact that that sentiment could be done in a number of different ways, and a lot easier than building the whole thing from scratch. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54232e51e4b0005f145c463f/t/547e4952e4b054be53fcc481/1417562455871/ Process First time CNCing. This piece was used as a mold to vacuum form plastic over to form the "bloody smiley face" buckler shield shoulder pad. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54232e51e4b0005f145c463f/t/547e480be4b07558d36b6906/1417562126873/ Process Extremely rough initial mockup of the AtomSuit. The Jet pack body is made from a pressure washer and ductwork, while the Powerfist is a foam hulk hand modified with wood inserts, covered in truck-bed liner and rivets, stuck inside a paint can with cutouts on the underside. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54232e51e4b0005f145c463f/t/547deb9ae4b094c0028bfd5b/1417538462414/ Process Monitors and console unpainted. The "console" was built using a circular clothing rack, found steel plates, and random computer parts, while the diagnostic table is a grocery store scanner turned on its side. As you can see some fabrication using wood was involved to make all the pieces gel. The monitors have been enclosed behind pegboard covers. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54232e51e4b0005f145c463f/t/547e2ca6e4b08db1818632f8/1417555113629/2013-12-13+05.20.13.jpg Process Early Mockup of potential thesis layout, pre-command console construction. Essentially, all my props were made at this point, along with the weapons rack and M.P.B.F.G. 5000 redesign poster. Also, I displayed in the loading dock, so I had access to the forklift and figured, why not. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54232e51e4b0005f145c463f/t/547e5508e4b05c5805c9f469/1417565453016/ Process Roughing out the handle. This piece of wood came from the stock pile out at the wood kiln, as I can't imagine paying for that big a chunk of walnut. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54232e51e4b0005f145c463f/t/547e561fe4b0d416e652a6b5/1417565733744/ Process Mocked up B.H.J. with rounded out and modeled handle with inserts, missing the knurling, and fabricated breech and barrels. Once again, the spikes got dropped in the final design, and the scope became much larger. The tube in front is a test of the bluing compound, while the steel ring ends up getting machined to fit inside as end caps to beef up the look of the barrels. The wax acting as the breech covers will get cast in aluminum and stained. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54232e51e4b0005f145c463f/t/5480d1bee4b0c27762eaa365/1417728447053/ Process M.P.B.F.G. 5000 redesign. Lots of updates to the original, dual lightsaber belt feed, double barrels, double tracks for serpentine belts. Also, it was redesigned with Atom Boy and his Powerfist in mind, so the whole she-bang slides over the Powerfist, with the barrels turning around the fist. This was the fist and most prominent of the "Apps" designed for the Powerfist. Obviously, much more detail has been added to this version, along with better integration between the engine and gun components.
