Here are some lighted pride flags I made for Coldplay, demonstrating just how durable this work can be! The lights are revealed near the end of the song, before the flag is spun around and tossed into the air. Happy Pride! ❤️💛💚💙💜 #pride2025 #pride #coldplay #peopleofthepride

I made a few pieces of lighted clothing for Boop! The Musical, now showing on Broadway. This robe and jacket (with nearly 4000 RGB LED pixels!) are used to illustrate a magical transition from Betty Boop's black and white cartoon world to the full color real world.

This was such a massively great and fascinating interview with @flashingjanet.bsky.social - it was awesome to hear about the multitude of technical challenges involved in making high profile wearable LED costumery and to hear about what she had to do 20 yrs ago before WS2812s were invented. 🤯
We dove into the world of electronic costumery with Janet Hansen ( @flashingjanet.bsky.social ).
From illuminated fashion to the art behind wearable electronics, Janet shares her journey into professional costumery and what it means to merge creativity with tech.

I guess some of my illuminated faux fur pieces are pretty natural-looking, after all!
Marsupials glow under UV light. Thylacine apparently dark blue. Look at this Quoll under a UV Black light. The oposuum has a pink glow to them.

25 years ago this week, I quit my day job as an aerospace engineer to focus full-time on my new adventure creating LED art. This video shows a recent commission - a lighted logo suit jacket for a corporate event where they were also celebrating a 25 year anniversary. #ledart #wearables
