Mondo spider

2009-04-22T08:38:00.000-07:00

How it all started

The Mondo Spider Project was founded by five Vancouverites: Charlie Brinson, Dillard Brinson, Alex Mossman, Leigh Christie and Jonathan Tippett.
Junkyard Wars

Inspired by the famous TV shows Scrapheap Challenge and Junkyard Wars USA, Alex Mossman, Brian Wells and several other brilliant local Vancouver Engineers started a competition known as The Vancouver Junkyard Wars (VJYW). In 2005, the competition was to be a "walking machine" race. Jonathan, Leigh and Charlie had all participated in the VJYW in the past, and in 2005 they formed a team together along with Alex. Leigh Christie brought a crew of participants together. The final team roster included: Jimmy Koo, Charlie Brinson, Alex Mossman, Jonathan Tippett, Bradley Buss, Matt Chudleigh, Josh Vines, Emerson Gallagher, Ryan Johnston, and Vince Augustine.

This combined team took an overly ambitious approach to the design challenge. While a machine with a very small step would have been the smart thing to do, this team of lunatics saw it as an opportunity to make a mechanical beast! A more impressive and aesthetically pleasing leg mechanism would have to be found.

Alex found a website called www.mechanicalspider.com. On this site he found a 6-bar linkage mechanism that had been patented by Joe Klann. The linkage mechanism produced a relatively flat foot path and a tall step height. It appeared to be exactly what they were looking for.

The competition took place over the course of a weekend. Within 48 hours, the team had built a walking machine with 8 of the bizarre six-bar linkage legs made of wood. At the final minute, some key changes were made to the machine. And with a grand total of 10 seconds of test time, the race began... And the machine walked!

Unfortunately after 20 steps, the spider began to hobble, and then crawl, and then die. After the competition, the carcass of the spider was thrown in a recycling bin.

The picture is from the prototype walking machine. Due to obvious time constraints, little attention was paid to aesthetics. The machine was built entirely from scrap parts found at local junkyards, and while being a proof of concept, was consequently not the most reliable vehicle. Many of the original Junk Yard Wars team went on to work on what was soon to be named the Mondo Spider project.

A few weeks later, after nearly recovering from the blitzkrieg-like JYW competition, Charlie, Leigh, Jonathan and Alex were haunted by memories of their beloved but ultimately dead junk spider.

"This is what JYW does to you.. you wake up in the middle of the night thinking of different ways to make a better walking machine!" - Alex

"Yeah... I've been going through this stuff in my dreams for a couple weeks too. I'm really itching to build another walking machine!" - Leigh

And then Dillard Brinson asked the team to build another walking machine ...
... but this time not using junk

And then Dillard Brinson asked the team to build another walking machine, take a look.
But this time not using junk!

Duck race

GAME reinvented fundraising in 1988 in Tempe, Arizona with a local event that combined community, sponsors and nonprofits in a fun and unique way: Derby Duck Races. Since then, GAME has remained committed to taking this fun, family event to higher levels by adding more tools and ongoing support to its "flock" of racers. The largest Duck Races in the world are partnered with GAME, they are famous not only for their Ducks with Sunglasses, but because they all know the key to success is partnership and that partnership begins with GAME's know-how and ongoing support.

Conceptual photography

2008-10-14T00:16:00.000-07:00

Arthur Mole and John Thomas, at a time when photography was taking its first steps, were able to, through their perseverance and technical ability, photograph large groups that created symbolic representations of objects and people. Considering 21st century’s capabilities, such task, which requires as many as 30 000 people to pose at a time, is both complex and filled with details, forcing us to keep their magnificent achievements in perspective.

Arthur and Thomas, the so called "live photographers", were able to capture these fantastic images in the period of 1915-1920, in the middle of the world war one. Their goal was to recover the image of an American identity at the time in which the United States entered this conflict in 1917.

The great dimension of this Project still assumes greater proportions by the philanthropist characteristic of its authors, that instead of prospering with the sale of the images produced, donated all their profit to the families of the soldiers who returned from the conflict and intended to redo their lives.

Nice Glass sculptures

2008-10-04T10:18:00.000-07:00

Bernard Katz has worked in glass since 1986. He is a graduate of Temple University's Tyler School of Art, where he majored in Fine Arts and specialized in Glass Blowing and Glass Sculpture. He also studied abroad at the West Surrey College of Art and Design in Farnham, England. Bernard then apprenticed for several years with well known glass artists such as Leon Applebaum, David Garcia and Samuel Bloom before going off on his own.

His etched designs are all original and usually involve botanical subjects, creating a naturalistic yet contemporary feel. These designs lend themselves to display in all settings, from artistic home decor to corporate office enhancements.

Bernard designs and executes each piece himself, combining modern equipment and ancient techniques. His shapes are created by hand blowing the molten glass into his 3 dimensional shapes which then become a canvas of glass unto which the final imagery will be etched.

Nice wooden stairs

2008-09-19T12:40:00.000-07:00

This outstanding one of a kind staircase is the result of the collaborative efforts set forth by an inspired architect and a team of highly skilled and imaginative log stairway building professionals.

Inspired by the grandeur of Surrounding coastal Cedars
and Redwoods, this staircase invites the organic sensations of nature indoors.

The accommodating treads, which measure nearly 2’ wide and 4’ across, are hand crafted from old growth Douglas Fir Timbers reclaimed from a 1880’s vintage railroad trestle.
