After those pieces of technology are no longer useful they need to be disposed of in some way.<br /><br />Creating artwork from components is one way to accomplish this. The figures that I create manage to turn mass produced parts into something truly unique.<br /><br />If anybody is wondering, I recycle toxic components (batteries, CRT screens, etc) and do not use them in my work.</span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;color:#333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;color:#333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;">http://www.timcdesigns.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=3</span></span></div>Timhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00270418041034783889noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5905227045295855358.post-36409003675663274412010-01-28T11:33:00.000-08:002010-01-28T14:16:01.034-08:00Hello from Tim the Geeky Artist<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGYKyfUJrSETHBWV2YEjt62I5k4vZ8Xn1mBPfY2ptNoLqx-VVo18U8sYDtsW-Khyyo-PnQ-VCFjhGTP5_f9Hv9F7yhSE-z2-3ELoHC_fCEU97Z7QYP_JHQyQFgsak_kchHlfqs5tm7PnSp/s1600-h/tim-mini.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 100px; height: 100px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGYKyfUJrSETHBWV2YEjt62I5k4vZ8Xn1mBPfY2ptNoLqx-VVo18U8sYDtsW-Khyyo-PnQ-VCFjhGTP5_f9Hv9F7yhSE-z2-3ELoHC_fCEU97Z7QYP_JHQyQFgsak_kchHlfqs5tm7PnSp/s320/tim-mini.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431917819131507282" /></a>Welcome to Tim The Geeky Artist!
