Still Ticking

Posted on By Tick Tock Tom

Hey all.  Sorry about the lack of activity on this site.  A lot has been happening that wasn’t that relevant until now.  I moved a few years ago and the new shop came with a few unexpected complications.  It’s taken a while, but it’s finally coming together.  I’m somewhat set up and have begun catching up on commissions.  I’m incredibly excited to be creating again.  I hope to be more active on here starting soon. In the meanwhile, I’ve updated the portfolio with a few missing works.  Talk soon – Tom

I was happy to have made so many people smile at this year’s Artist Project.  I’ll be back next year to try and do it again.

 

 

Toronto Maker Festival – That was fun.

Posted on By Tick Tock Tom

Thanks to everyone who stopped by my booth at the Toronto Maker Festival last weekend.  What an amazing show.  A special thanks the army of volunteers who helped cart absolutely everything I brought to and from the loading area.  I could not have gotten all of that done without you.

Thanks for a wild time Toronto.  I hope to be back soon.

For anyone wondering, yes, my entire setup fit into the back of a very unhappy minivan with just enough room for me.
