This article How 3D printing glitches inspired these Doctor Who effects was recently brought to my attention. The article (and several others like it on the web) talks about how 3D printing “glitches” like my Zombie Army print fails were the inspiration for the BBC show’s villains, the “Boneless”. To my great surprise and delight, the example 3D print fail being cited as influential on the Boneless was one of my earliest self portraits! As a Doctor Who Fan going all the way back to middle school, its quite an honor to have been of service to the Doctor.
Yessssss Scifi. It makes me happy when two passions find each other. I’ve wanted to incorporate science in my work for years but haven’t created the correct feeling avenue for myself.
