Makers - ADSK Artist in Residence

Hey girls. Share this with your maker friends. Especially Brad, who will really get a kick out of Taylor Wolf.
What happens when you put traditional artists in a high-tech workshop with access to the latest in CNC equipment? That's one of the goals of Autodesk's Artist in Residence program, and this week, we're profiling a few of the makers given free rein in this awesome workspace.
At 24, Taylor Wolf is one of the youngest participants in the Autodesk AIR program. Both an artist and a chef, he has worked in everything from the mediums of collage and sculpture to the kitchens of a catering company, food truck, and myriad restaurants. But while these two areas of interest have seemingly little to do with one another, here at Autodesk, Wolf hopes his two worlds might collide.
Also, I met this guy yesterday and thought about Brad: Andrew Maxwell-Parish. I told Andrew I was going to introduce him to Brad. Andrew and Taylor were both making presentations at Pier 9 workshop yesterday. You should find their creations on Instructables, though I can't figure out how to search by their names?

And lastly, I met with Alberto Villarreal (at Google) on Tuesday and again, thought Brad might find his work very interesting. Really nice fellow and quite accomplished.
