Biomorphia, 2022 - Prize winning entry for Monaverse “Renaissance” build-a-thon. This biological-futuristic world has an Ernst Haeckel patterned landscape with animated plants, flower petal transporters, and an avatar triggered shadow show along the beach.
The Catacombs, 2021 - Prize winning entry for Monaverse’s “Filecoin Forum” build-a-thon. Another richly textured Ernst Haeckel terrain, within a surreal world. Make your way up to a dome and descend into the catacombs.
Sign of JSU, 2022 - This Mozilla Hubs build recreates the East 10th St (Indianapolis) landmark home/shop/installation of the remarkable Greg Brown. The building was demolished several years ago.
