I’m in the process of remaking some of my table displays! More details in the alt text.

These need to be resilient, lightweight, & impact-resistant since I’ll ideally be traveling with them for years, which presents an interesting set of problems to solve without machinery.
This project consists of 4 (2 large, 2 small) arch shapes cut out of corrugated plastic and layered with their grains crossed for stability. They are in the process of being given borders, made of strips of the flexible coroplast hot glued and packing-taped into position. all 4 arches with their borders. The coroplast has some gaps visible and the edges of the border strips are open. The same arches, now with their gaps and edges painstakingly filled in with a first pass of foam clay. A close-up on the edges of the arch border. They have all been filled in with foamclay and the full surface of the boards has been given a first-pass sanding.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have discovered a powerful antibody, known as 04_A06, that is able to neutralize 98.5% of MORE THAN 300 different HIV strains AND permanently reduce HIV viral load to undetectable levels, making it one of the broadest-acting antibodies against HIV identified to date.

Boris Artzybasheff, a Ukrainian illustrator who immigrated to the US in 1919, was known for florid, grotesque explorations of surrealistic anthropomorphism, combining human and machine into fearsome, laboring hulks of metal & flesh.

These illustrations are from “Machinalia.”

#historyofillustration
A massive anthropomorphized sheet metal press, forcing steel into shape under enormous, wrought hands A white-hot metal billet being picked up by a hook-billed lift with threatening eyes. The covers for the heat sinks are flat, impassive salamanders with distorted, contented, human faces. A huge, horse-like bucket with a rolling human eye and scowling mouth offloads sparking hot molten metal into a mold in a long line of other molds, all of which have cartoonish human faces and human feet. They appear afraid and pained in anticipation, and the mold being poured into cries out Molten metal being poured down a human-shaped funnel’s back into a furnace with a gaping mouth human and staring eyes. The bucket pouring the metal is devised like a smiling man’s head, with hands gripping and twisting its ears to let the molten cargo pour down its nose.

really phenomenal stuff, makes me think a little of the work of Stanislaw Szukalski, very similar use of lurid, solid rendering with stone and steel and an almost dream-like feeling.

Unsurprisingly Szukalski was a sculptor as well. You can tell with again, how solid his work feels
Szukalski's Grave of the unknown soldier, 1971 Szukalski's The Lowing Ox for Wolin, 1952 Szukalski's Copernicus, 1971 Szukalski's A Submerged Town, 1954

His only formal artistic education came from 3 months of night classes at Chase College, and one of the reasons his work was so popular with editors was because his limited colors required fewer inks to print, and therefore the covers and ads were cheaper to produce.

C. Coles Phillips was an illustrator born in Springfield OH, a longtime staff artist at Life magazine & Good Housekeeping’s sole cover artist from 1912-14. He was famous for his “fadeaway girls,” figures which use the background color & negative space to fill in the blanks.
