Last night I broke stuff on purpose, and it was really fun. New art parts!

Antique typewriter, with keys manually removed.

I love the cyclical process of destruction and creation that is critical to my work. It also gives me a lot of insight into how things are made. To tear open the TV, all i needed was a phillips head screwdriver. By contrast, to take apart the antique typewriter, i tried 4 different screwdrivers, and in the end i just had to bend the metal by hand until it broke to get the keys off. Had it not been rusty already, i don't even think that would have worked.

They sure don't make things like they used to!
