We intend to borrow shamelessly from some of his construction techniques, but with a completely different visual effect. But the basic idea of attaching interesting shapes of steel plate to a relatively lightweight structure with simples construction methods inspired us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/526a9481e4b06485ddc10d61/e709f0cd-db46-46e2-8071-da8eed075b92/image+%281%29.png Projects - Make it stand out We’re gonna have some kickass fundraising prizes! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/526a9481e4b06485ddc10d61/79c15e3d-22b9-49ee-988d-300c27fca227/frogvan.jpg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/526a9481e4b06485ddc10d61/1385349971128-FO21ZU0CM2UAUMBEQVNB/c-2013_realtimeartshow_FIGMENT-Boston10.jpg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/526a9481e4b06485ddc10d61/1452134680006-Z546XE6H0L918TPLJHD9/21275381005_b0cb7992a0_o.jpg Projects - The Blunderwood Portable The Blunderwood Portable was a project built in the summer of 2015 by the Cat and the Cockroach Collective, a group of Boston-based artists and ne'er-do-wells. Inspired by the 100-year-old works of Don Marquis, we brought the experiences of his character Archy, a free verse poet reincarnated as a typewriting cockroach, to life.

After a little bit of negotiation, we were off and running. Our progress was chronicled in the forthcoming documentary “Blunderwood Portable” by Juan Mandelbaum / Geovision Productions. This project was a partnership with Nick Lauder, Doug Ruuska, and Michael Dewberry, along with help from dozens of our friends.

I made approximately 150 mixtapes and loaded up the machine for FIGMENT Boston 2019. I also distributed mixtapes donated from several other participants. “Mixtapes” graphic by Andy Goldman Photo credit: Real Time Art Show https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/526a9481e4b06485ddc10d61/1565635627588-15WJR98LAHPK31WI3RUT/Sketchy+2.JPG Projects - Amen, Brother Amen, Brother is a proposed project for FIGMENT Boston and Burning Man. The project is currently on hold while we seek funding. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/526a9481e4b06485ddc10d61/1565638644287-NGGOTH5S29WW0XE2SRZ0/IMG_20160730_122456.jpg Projects - The Waiting Room The Waiting Room is a project that comments on our willingness to sit around and wait. Originally inspired while waiting in line to get into an art event in Colorado, the project is a mobile waiting room that can fit in the back of a small SUV or pickup truck and be deployed anywhere where people are waiting. Complete with outdated magazines, bad art, plastic plants, stained rug, take a number machine, and a television blaring something nobody wants to watch, the waiting room offers a familiar, if uncomfortable, space. It begs the question, what are you waiting for? This version of the project appeared at FIGMENT Boston 2016 and 2017. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/526a9481e4b06485ddc10d61/1565639929312-MB7ETMAC663YEE4DS6BP/20180729_171211.jpg Projects - Exit Through The Gift Shop In 2018, Burning Man appeared at the Smithsonian’s Renwick Gallery in Washington, DC. And like all good galleries, the Renwick has a gift shop. Now that the shark had been jumped, it only seemed fair to bring a gift shop to FIGMENT Boston. The name is shamelessly stolen from the Banksy movie. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/526a9481e4b06485ddc10d61/1385434999279-GWLV3D4R44VRYSHQN5G3/DSC_4747.jpg Projects - Bartlett Events In the summer of 2013, I was one of the co-producers of the Bartlett Events community art and events series in Roxbury, MA. Together with my partners Jeremy Alliger of Alliger Arts and Mark Matel of Nuestra Comunidad, we hosted over 100 murals and 15 events in an abandoned bus yard.

A little internet sleuthing turned up an emerging industry in photobooth rentals. A couple of thousand dollars of gear and software later, and with the help of a very talented metalworker friend, The Photobot was born. The Photobot was a crash course in entrepreneurship and making stuff work. I designed and built the device from scratch, constantly adding new tweaks to make it work. I built a website to market it, ran ads on various platforms, drew up contracts, taught myself basic graphic design skills with GIMP, and made honest-to-goodness sales. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/526a9481e4b06485ddc10d61/1385436122973-OK7RQCSD8TWY2ZREBZ9A/image-asset.gif Projects https://www.jasonturgeon.net/blogs daily 0.75 2017-09-25 https://www.jasonturgeon.net/bio daily 0.75 2022-11-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/526a9481e4b06485ddc10d61/1386217839589-VKMAY7SF0M5MHCLX51XK/0004.JPG About Me https://www.jasonturgeon.net/boats daily 0.75 2013-12-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/526a9481e4b06485ddc10d61/1389714814117-GZGWJ1XHWHYVLLZLGKMJ/image-asset.jpeg Boats https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/526a9481e4b06485ddc10d61/1389714673400-XZ4GT3NACNZ3A6HBC919/image-asset.jpeg Boats The largest boat I worked on was Motor Yacht Halcyon, a 142' Feadship.
