# 3 Dimensional Greetings & Salutations!

May 2, 2012

Howdy, I’m Joshua.  If you haven’t already caught one of my [recent blog entries](/content/blog/authors/45-Joshua-Harker/index.html) I am happy to announce that I’ll be adding my 2 cents here.  Big thanks to Shapeways for the opportunity to contribute.  I’m mostly focused on digital sculpture & fine arts, technology advances, new applications, & miscellaneous oddities & funnery from the land of 3d printing.  My little corner of the 3d printed universe recently got a whole lot bigger when my [Kickstarter campaign](/content/blog/archives/1005-Kickstarter-Loves-3D-Printing.html)–( [Crania Anatomica Filigre](/content/blog/archives/988-Crania-Anatomica-Filigre-New-3D-Printing-Project-on-Kickstarter.html)) became the #1 most funded sculpture project in their history and #3 in Arts overall.  [Shapeways did all the printing for the project & helped make big things happen in a short amount of time](/content/blog/archives/1159-Innovation-Amplifier-Crowdsourced-Capital-and-On-Demand-Digital-Fabrication.html).

I come from a fine arts background with over 20 years experience in the toy, invention & design, special effects, rapid prototyping, and product development industries.  In 1998 I founded a boutique design & development firm servicing some of the largest global properties & corporations.  There I provided design & development support & owned various 3d printers & CNC machinery.  In 2008, I committed to digital sculpture & 3d printing as my medium & returned full-time to fine arts when I figured out how to develop my [series of “Tangles”](/content/shops/shhark?section=Tangle+Series/index.html) 3 dimensionally.  I currently live & work in Chicago.  Again, thank you to Shapeways for having me!

Cheers,
