David Wilson is a badass. Loved his stuff at the IFC this year

Great class! Thanks Adam and David for putting together such a great lesson, we learned a lot and hope to have many many more projects to fill in the coming months...as soon as I get a transformer or have access to one I'll take some pics and post them on the forum to show some of the cool stuff we made. in the mean time here is a Lotus Flower Bulb, designed to look similar to the Lightbulb hieroglyphics found in Egypt.

edit: this is a two chamber neon object with pure neon in the internal piece connected to an electrode, the outer chamber is completely sealed separately and processed with neon and krypton.
