<p>昔からD.I.Y.の人生やねん。（DIYとは、英語の略語：Do It Yourself &#8211; 自身で作ろう）<br />
最近、また趣味が増えてもうて、シルクスクリーンを勉強しだした。自分で刷った新作品はこれや！</p>
<p>&#8230;でも切り取るのは面倒臭そうやわぁ！！</p>
<p>つや有のインクとつや無の塩ビシートはポイントや！あまり写真に写られない味やから残念やけど。</p>
<p>もちろん、次のデザインを考えているよ。楽しみにしてぇぇ！</p>
<p>DIY ethic has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. As if I didn&#8217;t have enough hobbies I decided it was time to fulfill a lifelong dream and begin to study printing in earnest &#8211; beginning with silk screening. If you liked the bunny girl art prints, then feast your eyes on these, my latest abominations. </p>
<p>&#8230;cutting these out should be a true exercise in patience.</p>
<p>The real charm of these babies is the super shiney oil-like look of the raised ink on the non-shiney matte surface. Pure printing press pr0n! Too bad the photo doesn&#8217;t do it justice. I&#8217;ll be slicing these out over the next week &#8211; come and get em! </p>
<p>Of course I&#8217;m already planning the next design! I can sleep when I die. Stay tuned!</p>

<p>Finally, my hair has surpassed that of Einstein, Grime, and Yahoo Serious.<br />
やっと髪の毛はここまでのびてきた。</p>
<p><img src="http://www.benher.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/DSCF4992.jpg" alt="DSCF4992" title="DSCF4992" width="400" height="300" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1037" /></p>
<p>Great Scott Marty! A 1.21 Gigawatt Tattoo machine LED lamp for under 250 yen? Those are 1950s prices! You&#8217;re not thinking 4th dimensionally!<br />
BACK TO the FUTUREのドックがおったら絶対面白い台詞を言ってくれるはず。とりあえず、タトゥーマシンのLEDランプを￥２５０だけで造れるって？！GREAT SCOTTやでぇ！５０年代の物価やないかい？！</p>
<p><img src="http://www.benher.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/IMG_0890.jpg" alt="IMG_0890" title="IMG_0890" width="251" height="400" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1042" /></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the prototype. Causing electrical engineers the world over to sneer/cringe no doubt. But hey, it works and has a consistant light source considering my current studio&#8217;s shitty lighting conditions.<br />
えっっと、はい。プロトタイプはこれ。電気製品を造る人がみたら多分ひくと思うけど。とりあえずマシンの設定を変えても同じ明るさで光るから。</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a magic diagram minus the maths on how I built it. If enough people care enough, I&#8217;ll post my method here. (These things retail for like 6000JPY over here!)<br />
シンプルな映像やけど大体分かると思う。造方を詳しく更新して欲しい人がおったら言ってください。</p>

<p>波動拳！！<br />

<p>僕のPAUL ROGERSマシンのコイルがはげていたんで変えようとおもった。マシンの大事な部品なので守らなくちゃあかん。</p>
<p>The coils on my Paul Rogers shader started balding so I thought I&#8217;d try my hand at sealing them.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.benher.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/DSCF2947.jpg" alt="bald coils" title="bald coils" width="300" height="225" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-829" /></p>
<p>まず、前のビニールの全てを綺麗にとる。コイルが全裸まで！<br />
えぇっと&#8230;そして、デザインが要る。なんでか知らんけど自分の絵を使うのは嫌。でもせっかく二つのコイルがあるので漫才のコンビを使おうと思った。（やっぱりダウンタウン！）ネットで画像を検索したけどあまりえぇやつは出てこなかった。</p>
<p>First, scraped off the old cruft.<br />
Um&#8230; Then think about a design. Since there are two coils, I thought Osaka manzai comedians (they come in pairs as well) would fit perfectly. (Starting with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downtown_(owarai)">Downtown</a>) But I couldn&#8217;t get any good image results on the net&#8230;</p>
<p><img src="http://www.benher.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/bannar-cbs08.gif" alt="bannar-cbs08" title="bannar-cbs08" width="200" height="40" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-834" /></p>
<p>その時、この人のブログを発見した！(<a href="http://cuttingbittersweet.com/" class="broken_link">Cuttingsweetbitter</a>)KATOさんは東京のアーティストや。切り絵は無茶苦茶上手い！！ばっちりのダウンタウンの絵ものっていた！でも勝手に使っちゃNGかなぁと思って、KATOさんにメールを送って、使う許可をお願いした。</p>
<p>Until that is, I stumbled upon this site &#8220;Cutting Sweet Bitter. This guy Kato is a Tokyo artist who specialized in &#8216;kirie&#8217; or images cut out of a single sheet of paper. I didn&#8217;t want to just use it and post it here, so I mailed Kato and<strong> asked for his permission.</strong> </p>
<p><img src="http://www.benher.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/DSCF2949.jpg" alt="a design appears!" title="a design appears!" width="300" height="225" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-830" /></p>
<p>個人用（売り物じゃない）やからOKサインがでて（どうもありがとうございました！！）マシンの修理を進んだ。大きさを図ってプリントアウトした。（どう？このカッティングマット？）</p>
<p>Kato said cool since it was for personal use (Thank you!!!) and I was able to continue on with my repairs. First measure the size (to get the length of &#8216;wrap&#8217; simple use some pi action on the radius of the coil and then tack on a couple millimeters for overlap) &#8211; PS like that cutting sheet?</p>
<p><img src="http://www.benher.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/DSCF2950.jpg" alt="color sides on thick paper" title="color sides on thick paper" width="300" height="225" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-831" /></p>
<p>でもやっぱり白いコピー用紙はしょぼいな。もう一回デザインのバックを黒くしてちゃんと写真用紙にだす。写真用紙自体は分厚いからちゃんと横も黒く塗らんとみえる。</p>
<p>But Copy paper is crummy and cheap and gets dirty easily I discovered&#8230; So I remade the image with a black background, printed it on proper photo paper and colored the &#8216;white&#8217; edges so they wouldn&#8217;t stand out.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.benher.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/DSCF2951.jpg" alt="shrink tube" title="shrink tube" width="300" height="225" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-832" /></p>
<p>そして切って、チューブに入れて、並ぶ！最後は火をつけて、熱でチューブがシュッ！としまる。</p>
<p>Next cut, stick inside the tube, line it up, and then shrink the tube with a lighter.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.benher.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/DSCF2952.jpg" alt="ジャーン！　Downtown Shader!!!" title="ジャーン！　Downtown Shader!!!" width="400" height="300" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-833" /></p>
<p>要らない部分を切って、組み立て直して(コイルの並びを気をつけながら！)、出来上がり！大阪のダウンタウンがのっているタトゥーマシン！</p>
<p>Slice off the excess, reassemble the machine, make sure the coils are realigned properly and bam! A Downtown shader with some personality!</p>
