Xbox Adaptive Controller Build V3

 

Completed my son's third Xbox Adaptive Controller today. My son has cerebral palsy which affects his core muscles in which he can not walk, sit up or have much use of his arms and hands. Instead, he uses his legs and feet to explore his surroundings. And he's very good at using them, along with his amazing problem solving brain, to do just about anything that arms and hands can do. So, this controller was built just for that, this time allowing him to use two feet at once. His current favorite games are Minecraft, Roblox, Goat Simulator, Spongebob Battle of Bikini Bottom, Kart Racers, Lego games, and Grounded. 

Grass Hut Art Market Hangover

 

Had an amazing time at Gamjam Grass Hut Art Market! Thanks to BwanaSpoons for hosting me. Got to meet a bunch of rad artists and fans, so many people came through! It was great to get out again. Look forward to doing more shows again in the near future.

Adaptive Xbox Video Game Controller

Update: For new V3 2023 version build click here
 

This is my second build of an XBox adaptive controller for my son who has cerebral palsy. Due to his lack of core support, he doesn't have great mobility and use of his arms. Instead, he uses his feet to explore his world. This controller was designed with that in mind, allowing him to game using his feet exclusively.

Beautiful night with friends and Tori Amos at the Arlene Schnitzer Hall in Portland. 

Music brings us together

My son is currently getting a lot of physical therapy, so having an MPC Live is perfect for making music on the go. I stopped in one of my favorite cafes near his office and one of the employees was so intrigued with the MPC. We chatted for awhile, about music and instruments. I quickly explained what the MPC was and the history behind it. Her enthusiasm was intoxicating, she had such child like wonder and very much wanted to play it. I loaded up a drum loop and a synth for her to noodle around with. She picked it up very fast and was blown away from the MPC. I love how music brings us together!

Thank you RCCC 2018

Had a great time at Rose City Comic Con, thanks to everyone who stopped by and supported my work. It was awesome meeting new fans and seeing old friends. I will be taking a break from RCCC next year to create a special series of works for gallery showcases. I will be continuing to create more comic themed art and expanding my store to include comic con pieces.

Got to meet one of my favorite artists Stan Sakai, the creator of Usagi Yojimbo. Excited for the upcoming animation series.

Also got to meet legendary author Timothy Zahn, who was my neighbor at RCCC!
