Shintaro Fushida-Hardy

About: this is a catalogue/summary of some art or other creative projects I've pursued. I make a lot of 3d forms using a variety of methods--metal working, wood working, ceramics, textiles, mold-making and casting, etc. I have also dabbled in recreational game development and other digital art forms, as well as traditional drawing/painting.

Photos can be enlarged by clicking them.
