Hi fellow mech heads - JD here. I've been designing crazy mechanical things since 1987. A lot of film animatronics, creatures, mechanial props, puppets, puppeteering systems. Now I do the same thing but in Contemporary Art. You may have seen some of my work in the movie - Jurassic Park or recently in London, at the Hauser & Wirth art gallery called 'Train, Mechanical'. I love designing things that move and come to life. cheers - JD
Now that sounds extremely cool . I'd love to do props and special effects. Any pics of stuff you've done you can share?
Sure - here's some video of an art piece I worked on for the artist Paul McCarthy. Myself and 4 other people built this over a period of about 4 years. I designed and built the small pigs and their drive systems, also all the eye mechs on the piece. Warning: crazy, provocative imagery. This is currently on display in London at Hauser & Wirth gallery, Saville Row. uGBb8asaq4I enjoy - JD
