Project Description
Artifacture was the vendor sponsoring a lecture I gave in Dallas, Texas in 2014. The event organizers asked if I had any old artwork that they could lasercut as giveaways at the lecture to promote their capabilities to the local design community. I seized the opportunity to create a new original piece that would really push the medium. Being very pleased with the outcome I commissioned them to produce an edition I could sell.Production Lesson(s)
From my end everything went smoothly. I know they initially had some issues sending the design to the laser cutter because of its complexity. They didn't tell me about it until after they had already solved it. So the production lesson is always work with great vendors who are willing to experiment and figure out how to do whatever you can dream up.
