Hello everybody and welcome to another hobby cheating video today We're gonna take a deep dive on painting display quality skin tones and using very different colors to do it This one's gonna be really exciting. Let's get into it The strict techno man sir that is Vincy V. Let us get to the technique and learn it Vincy V style Now if you're a longtime viewer of this channel, you know, I love painting skin tones of every Color under the rainbow. I think skin is an amazingly fun thing to paint and frankly I need to paint more models with less clothing on I guess because just in general. It's a lot of fun and I think when People start out and and when you're building your way up and taking your early steps in the hobby Skin tone can be one of those things that really confounds people on their journey Now as we progress we tend to just pick up the bottle of paint that's labeled some kind of skin tone light skin dark skin, whatever it is But when we look at the art that really inspires us whether that be Frazetta art as I really love and looking at those colors or classic Fantasy pieces of art that I grew up on a lot of those even though it seems like they might be you know Have quote-unquote skin tones in them Those artists weren't making those from some bottle that said Sunny skin tone or light flesh or dark flesh or something like that. They were mixing paints to achieve that and so today we're going to experiment with a very different set of colors and The reason we're going to use these colors is because we're going to show how the interaction of sort of Pinks and greens and all these other bright tones can lead to something unique and Interesting and different and how by layering them back and forth you can achieve something that not only feels real but Exciting and different and has lots and lots of different Hughes and tonal variation to it that provides the viewer with a great amount of visual interest So this one's going to be a really interesting time to Experiment and for you to take some of the ideas here and try them on your own models. Let's head over to the desk Let's have some fun All right, so where we pick up with this I laid down just a single layer of bugman's glow over the skin, but I'm gonna do a second thin layer here Yes, that's right. It's two thin coats now Why didn't I do a zenithal or something like that because I'm going to be doing a very complicated lighting scheme with this Not a standard zenithal light from above lighting scheme. And so I'd rather have the control To set it with my individual paint layers by the brush And spit that does mean that I have to build up this base layer Now I'm not actually going to use this bugman's glow as any part of this But it's just putting down a nice base coat that the rest of the colors are going to work over top of And this is arguably the most skin Tony of skin tone things But you're not going to ever use bugman's glow as like its own standalone skin tone I'm just using it here to set a nice base tone to work with and once I get a good base layer down I'm all set. You'll also notice I'm ignoring parts of the legs because that's where there's going to be cast light later Okay Now we're going to get into my actual base layer, which is mixing bugman's glow plus this dark green And what you get is this really deep sort of greeny brown color And a lot of this video is going to be about the power of going back and forth between greens and pinks and how those two things together Can create these wonderful neutral sort of caucasian type skin tones We also this is the morrigan By the way, this is the morrigan from journeyman miniatures. Um, check it out I'll have a link down in the description absolutely amazing company and amazing minis And uh, you know, I want her to be this Very scary lady who's sitting on this stone throne. She's got skulls and candles. She's not a nice person So we're going to push her skin into this strange cold highlight at the top. That's where we're driving to So now we're going to take Uh, the same bugman's glow, but this time instead of a dark green I'm going to mix a much more light green and you'll notice what happens here as I get a much more sort of traditional pink infused sort of caucasian skin tone it almost looks like I could have just got this straight out of the bottle Uh, but what's wonderful about this tone is that I can adjust as you'll see in in The the value here of what I mean of mixing the two together as opposed to using coming out of the bottle Is I'm going to be able to go back and forth in the mixtures the percentages the amounts between these two To adjust how much green how much pink and put those two into balance And that gives me a lot of power over the whole miniature Now at the same time as I said, I do want to pass into some quite cold highlights off of her left side So her face is going to be done in Basically a Rembrandt style lighting and I'm focusing much of the light reflection Towards her. I'm sorry towards her left the right side as we're looking at it And That's why I'm going into these pastel colors and I'm starting with pastel violet because it's a smaller jump Uh, and it it's going to be much more Softly included it'll be countered out by the green in a stronger way And instead again give me more of a neutral highlight But as I continue highlighting up I'll start integrating more and more pastel blue Uh to to start really bringing the coldness Into the highlight of this flesh. I want to sap a lot of the life out of this. She's meant to be evil She's meant to be some powerful force in the darkness And so I want that cold in the skin And at the same time, you know, I showed uh frasetta painting earlier And when you look at a lot of those paintings you see the use of these different hues in the skins These blues these greens these exciting other colors That are representative of both the environment but also the emotion of the piece the nature of the character Everything like that when they're sort of a a dark sorceress or something like that. It's clearly dangerous to our Sword and sorcery hero That skin tone will often have a lot of green tones in it and stuff like that just something a little off to to connote the danger to our eyes And so we're going to play around with a lot of those those subtle Hues and textures here in the same way And as I continuing as I continue building up the highlights a lot of this is a very smooth surface It's very different to work the female form than the male form because you have a lot more soft Areas there's not like these they usually don't sculpt it with these individual Hardline muscles like you often get with male figures And so um, it's just a lot of very smooth transitions around the figure Now in this early part i'm working all in layers and that's what I recommend Don't worry about blending too much as you can see here when you look at her leg There's still clear differences in the individual layer lines between the various paints that i'm doing and that's fine This is about getting down the rough volume or the size of my highlights and the rough tone of my highlights Right. I don't care about blending and that's one of the best things I can tell you like eventually I will blend this out and smooth it out. We're going to spend a lot of time doing that But when you're first working it's a lot easier to just make sure that your values are right and your volumes are right So is your highlight going bright enough? And is it big enough or small enough or in the right place? Those are much more important questions to answer than is the blend smooth? I think a lot of people especially early in the journey you get caught up trying to Smooth blend every individual transition. Who cares? It's irrelevant The piece will still look awesome if the colors are in the right place and they're of the right size and they're credible Okay Now we're going to get a little fun and experimental here We've got a little mix of our two greens worked way down into a glaze And i'm going to start sliding this into all the shadows Specifically working over a lot of where the previous red area that bugman's glow was still showing through But bridging up onto the brighter colors as well So when i'm glazing here to smooth out my transitions instead of doing it with any of my existing colors I'm doing it with a complimentary color. Now the advantage to that is when the green hits the red It goes neutral because the two colors come together and effectively make a sort of brown Now that doesn't mean there's not a green influenced tone here. Of course there is But it's going to be much weaker and you can see how when it goes over that red It doesn't really feel like green And what I continue to do here is just slowly integrate little bits of that green with little bits of the bugman's glow Turn that into a glaze and then bridge those to that divide again So I don't list the paints here because honestly, I couldn't I was just mixing back and forth with a lot of different Paints, but it's all the same stuff And most of the glazes I'm doing here are just different formulations of the bugman's glow The yellow green and the green sky That's all we're doing is some percentage of those different paints being mixed back and forth And then glazed over the colors to bridge the different layer lines Draw the individual layers together add more tonal variation Smooth out the piece but also increase the visual interest by having lots of these interesting cues Dancing them off of our highlights. And that's the key The the high highlight we can still keep in this bright clean color and the lowest shadows will still be quite dark But in the bridge between in the mid-tone in that saturated area where really the credibility in the life of your piece will live That's where we have the chance to just play with colors and do really interesting things And sometimes it can go on a bit too strong like that green. I just put on there is Way too strong, but that's okay. I'll just have later glazes and wheel it back In the end, I probably do 20 30 different maybe 50 different glaze layers I don't know I was at this for a while because I was just having fun Playing back and forth different mixtures adding in a little more red a little more of the green sky By red. I mean the bugman's glow A little more of the different tones just to sort of keep working back and forth And determine what was going to be the right balance with this With the highlight with the highlights in place with me knowing the rough size Of the volumes of the highlights and where I wanted them. I didn't have to worry about that anymore All that's done Now we could just get to spend all this fun time with these thin glazes Setting the individual colors and adjusting these final elements. Maybe I'm shrinking a highlight volume a little Maybe I'm expanding it a little for the most part. I can just work back and forth pretty freely Confident that I'm going to have the ability to just because I'm working in such these thin layers To just constantly adjust what I'm doing You can see there a lot of that green subtracted out in between the two layers because I went back in between off camera Working with some more of the red and as soon as you get that red back over top of the green It just basically disappears and becomes again a more neutral skin tone The classic verdaccio of the old masters was to paint the whole thing in green first and then lay Various pinks and such over the top which would then sort of magically transform into what we would recognize as a Caucasian skin tone But ultimately I'm going to keep Working back and forth on this and back and forth And I've repeated this lots of times in my videos, but it's worth saying again One of the things that makes skin feel realistic Rich and have depth is when you bring the translucency of skin to life Through the application of lots of these thin layers through these glazes Where there's lots of different interplay between the colors happening across the figure When that's occurring the light is filtering through all these different color layers Much as it does in reality As it's going through your skin through the blood that's right underneath the surface in the capillaries You know, you have tan that varies all these sorts of things So we just continue to work it back and forth I know a lot of this might seem scary or insane And certainly I am benefiting here from just years of painting experience But there's no reason you can't do this as well The core lessons here to remember Are just what colors are underpinning those skin tones in the lessons of the old masters When they would do verdaccio and undercoat their their Paintings in green and then lay the pinks over to get these realistic tones We can use those same tricks to create natural shadows natural sort of tan and darker and ochre infused tones Even with our miniature paints and it's not actually that hard for us to do so What I would recommend is whenever you're going to grab a bottle of paint There's nothing wrong with grabbing something that says hey, you know This is some Caucasian flesh tone or African skin tone or anything like that. There's nothing wrong with using those bottles But at the same time as you think about the colors that you're putting into it for the shadows for the highlights Just start experimenting there Instead of just using an ivory or or pushing up into something like that Try some light purples or blues or pinks Greens something unusual See what you can do with it and ultimately it'll only help you learn and take your next step on your journey Now I could keep glazing, but I'm going to go ahead and work with the airbrush here Just because that's going to help me smooth things out a little bit faster and a little bit cleaner I'm going to use my two Harder and steamback airbrushes one being a cr plus with a point one five needle at 18 psi and the other one being my Iwata infinity key edition with the With a point two needle and again at 18 psi and in both cases I'm just going to work real thin Here I have a mix of the pastel violet and pastel blue together And I'm just using that to sort of reinstantiate some of the highlights, but it's very thin All of these paints are eight to one probably thinner to paint. So we are working extremely thin I want this buttery smooth and I want it to be To come out of the airbrush no problem And I want it to have very little effect and you can see how subtle and careful I'm building this up You notice how little my finger rocks on the trigger. I am just barely letting out any air Barely letting out any paint Just working it over and over again through this gentle rocking motion to sort of slowly through multiple applications Smooth out all of these transitions from my earlier layers and glazes And the beautiful part about the airbrush is it's so fast You know, this took me much less time than all the rest of the glazes But at the end it lets me do these amazing things and shifting these colors around Um, so that last one was a much more neutral mix much more of the Uh, bugman's glow plus the green sky here. We're back to bugman's glow plus a little bit of the Yellow dark yellow green and yet again here. I'm going to be working down the shadows Getting these things a little more infused with some of these warm tones But also still bringing back in those greens So even with the airbrush, I'm going to work back and forth The speed of this tool is such that it lets me move around the miniature very quickly Control my my spray very precisely with this extremely thin paint And make sure that what I get out of it is something that's just going to Add more filters over the top of the work I've already done And so as I said a lot of this is thin 8 10 to 1 11 to 1, you know, like this very very thin paint very watery paint And that's because with when we're working with the airbrush in this fashion We can build it up just multiple very light very Small touches right so we don't need to work heavy Now here at the end I have a little bit of thin Green this is some of the dark yellow green and then this does have a drop or two of um Dark green ink in it as well. Basically the same colors. It's a little bit darker The ink is just there to help it thin And this is about working in those those very subtle final transitions into the low part of the tone Right having introducing these final filters of some soft subtle greens All around the lower area of the miniatures and you see Frazetta and a lot of other artists do this all the time Or as you get towards the bottom of the piece, they'll integrate these more earthy natural tones these deep blues and browns and greens To sort of bring the piece together into the environment it's in and that's what we're doing here Now we have to address this unpainted part I did want to take you through this ultimately just so you could see what I was going to do here There's a lot more work that happened off camera, but I wanted to give you the idea These candles and there's going to be sort of a blue light that's emanating up from this side of the piece And so I'm just setting some initial tones with the airbrush here. This will require more Brushwork on top, but I'm sort of setting my overall Sphere of the glow and where it's coming from based on the placement of the candles And then working in some of those lights And I wanted to take just a moment to talk about this as well Because ultimately the the what I'm aiming for here with this piece is a transition from cold pale highlights Into warm shadows into cold Environmental catch lights So that's the sort of contrast and warm or sorry cold warm cold that I'm aiming for this piece So as I work on this I try to focus the light nearest the candles as I then This is all just variations on this one blue color plus either paint gray or or a white Just to keep it nice and simple And as I work this I want the area around the actual Candles to be the brightest and then catch on the legs But I'm also again just as before working back and forth here I have some some pains gray ink that I'm using to just reinforce To instantiate some of those shadows I want that strong occlusion shadow that area of darkness that separates my cast light From the natural environmental light of the piece And then I build back up and reinforce the blue and so on I want that to move back and forth and to have an area where there is a really deep shadow In between the two elements that way I can make sure that the the story of the light is Is such where there's a clear divide between the shadow that the primary light is casting And the actual pale blue light that the candles themselves are doing So there you go. She's obviously not done yet But this is the skin in a pretty complete state I'm sure I'll still play around with it more Afterward just to continually keep readjusting stuff as I'm painting the rest of the figure But this was an incredible amount of fun to do Just working these tones back and forth and seeing how they would balance Was just an unbelievable amount of fun and frankly exactly the kind of stuff that I Really really getting a big jazz out of in painting right now So I hope you're enjoying these videos I know they're a little different and more experimental But I hope at the same time you're able to extract lessons from them that you can use in your own hobby Whether you're painting 20 guys for a unit in an army or a single figure for a competition Whatever the case hit like if you liked this subscribe for additional hobby cheating in the future Don't forget if you've got questions you can drop those down below I always answer every question asked if you want to support the channel It's very easy to do so not only is hitting all those buttons help do that But also there's a patreon down there focused on review and feedback and taking your next step on your hobby journey As always I thank you so much for watching this one and we'll see you next time

The team is 100 safe, right? Okay. Yeah. Yeah, we got the key Okay, it's fading to darkness All right.  I have not yet got a jump scared. I am waiting for the moment Oh, wow. I was waiting in here waiting for it to load, but I had a turn You know what? Let's just continue. Oh What is that? Is that a that's a door, right? Or is that is that somebody? Hello.

I don't care. All right. Oh All right, let's see what's in here What is this? That's a maze. Oh, no, of course Okay, we need to get the key And then we go to the exit so we take off to the left And then We head back Okay, it seems kind of easy. I think Let me just look at it one more time Try to memorize it. Oh Oh Okay, let's go There's something out here I think it was this way. Was it this way? I think it was the other way I think I just messed up I know the key somewhere around here Wait, this is Dude, it's getting closer It was down the hallway I found the key Okay, we're back at the start Nope Why does it sound like I'm being chased? There it is Yes, we made it Hot Okay Oh man Wait, why did I still hear the humming? We made it chapter one part two? You gotta be kidding me Okay, so this is chapter one, but there's a part two to it great All right, it seems like we're in some sort of forest Yo, what the? Hey, is she vibing though? She just disappeared Okay, that was a bit strange Talk to the farmer. Oh, there you are. Of course right outside your farm Okay, I haven't seen you around before Well, please be careful around here.

She's probably already watching us as I speak If you see the lady playing with the beewoo, it's already too late. Dude, the lady we saw back there I have I have something upstairs. You might need later on All right, let's go check it out He says he has something for us, but I don't know what it is Oh, it's a key cool. This might be useful All right farmer John see you later dude. Thanks for the key Great now we're in this cave Explore the cave and find the door to use the key Okay, so we have two paths. You can go either direction Dude, there's statues Oh, this is not good. Oh, this is not good I do not trust these statues. I should not even go in there.  Don't do anything but run. Okay Dude that one's chasing me. Okay.  So we gotta go in here. Oh, wow. How did I miss this giant hole? I should go check out what's down here Wait, what is that? Oh, there's a door. Okay Nice. Okay, that might be the end of chapter one. Okay. No, it's not. Escape the hotel Wait, how did we even end up in a hotel? What? Okay What is that person doing on the floor? All right, let's keep on moving It's the bahu Oh, dude, she's chasing me. Oh great. I need to go this way Oh, okay Let's just keep on moving Dude, that was so creepy. Oh man. Hey, this kind of reminds me of the back rooms All right.  That got me Wait, what is this? Amazing again Nice Okay, so we start here we run up we go this way Make a left go up go all the way straight. Oh my god. This is terrible All right, so now you just got to survive this maze And I believe there's gonna be a creature chasing us as well Okay, I'm trying to remember the path, but I don't know. I think I'm just gonna go with whatever Here goes nothing Okay, we start off here Oh, man, this is too much brother Dude, there better not be anything out here. So Yo, there's something crawling And why am I going towards it?  Yes, I made it. Oh my god. This took ages dude. I swear Oh man, that thing is so terrifying And uh, you ventured into the unknown in search of your friend So this is part three of chapter one you managed to escape the hotel and the Or so you thought oh no Oh Great, okay. What places where am I real palace? Yeah, this place does not look friendly at all Hey, we got chapter one End of chapter one sweet Wow, I I would have thought chapter one would have never ended man Okay, so that's it That's it. That's it man. All right. So that is it for chapter one. Let's continue on in chapter two All right, so here we are and let's go to join chapter two now And once again, I was waiting for it to load It was just a dark screen Dude, they gotta stop doing that. I swear. They need to say like chapter two has begun or something, you know Geez. All right. Um, so We're back where we started. I mean where we finished off chapter one Who are you? Who am I talking to? Friend, uh, yeah, I'm not your friend. Oh great What is this? Oh, not dude her neck She was like a giraffe search, uh, search for a key upstairs. Oh great. You can't sprint in this one So this might be a little more tough Okay, it's not following us Oh man, that thing is hideous yo All right, uh, we need to find the key Oh, there's the key cool Found the key.  She likes to see my fails She likes to see me fail. Doesn't she Dude, you guys hear that? Oh great. So now we have to go downstairs and use this key But we have to avoid trying to die to that thing Go go go Okay, what door exactly this door that door the other door there's so many doors Oh my god, okay, I need to keep for this door. Dude. She's still coming What's that? Okay, uh Now what? Okay, we open something Let's open the door needed. Okay, sweet Now we need to look for another door Where the heck are these doors at? Why is there so many doors? Okay, this is open now Hurry up before she catches up man Yes We made it out of there safe and sound Oh, no Okay, I can't read that.  Oh great. So now it's mocking us. What did you do to them?  Okay, let's go. Let's get it Dude, wait, where are we at? We're like on some floating rocks Dude, what is this? Some other type of dimension type of stuff, you know, okay, um Oh, I almost fell there.  I swear Dude, what is it doing? Oh, I don't know but let's get the freak out of here, man What the freak goes that? Like a kraken or something dude A butterfly spirit is needed to walk through this path. Okay I do see a door and a nice sakura Sakura tree I will be someone else. I promise I can change. I will All right, it sounds like you're going through some personal issues, man I'm going back the other way. I think I chose the wrong door Geez. All right. Uh, they need to get themselves figured out Okay, um, let's go back this way Oh That looks like a spirit something Dude, there's a lot of seem like there's been a lot of Oh, there you are. There's been a lot of rituals going on here The place isn't real. She created it jason Oh, so this place like this place is just imaginary Is that where you're trying to tell me jason then why the heck am I still here man?   Then you think the mother No, bro No, bro. We ain't gonna.  I am not gonna fall for that Okay, whatever open the door I did see a lot of doors back here. Maybe we need to use this on those Maybe for this one What the heck There's arms coming out of the walls and stuff, dude By the time you're reading this it might have been too late She already got to the other two. I was the last one. I don't think I'll make it out live either your friend Kayla, dude, how many friends got trapped here? I'm like they got all my friends and they all magically came over here and died Geez, okay chapter two. Okay, so I guess there's three parts to every chapter realm of the forgotten Okay, so I seem like we're in the realm of the dead people use the spirits as your guidance Take me away spirits. Right. So pretty much just follow the spirits then for this part.  Let's go grab it real quick Dude, but what the heck was that like it just came out of the water and it just Stared into our soul almost freaking killed me and it just disappeared it left Just like that man All right, uh, okay, so we continue. Okay, we got the butterfly So now we just uh continue going down this pathway Okay, yeah, she's a green door up there take my butterfly spirit Okay, cool. Oh, don't tell me it's another maze. I've had too much of the mazes already dude. Come on Like every freaking level has a maze It's all dark Wait, this is a school from part one chapter one, isn't it? Oh my gosh Everything has been a mimic of your of your reality since the beginning Oh, dude, it just moved Heck nah, bruh Oh search for a key and a hidden butterfly to escape I could probably find what I'm looking for here Oh not one of these Oh Oh No They just had to throw somebody in here Oh no Oh go Found the key Now I just needed the exit Yeah, let's go Okay, we got the key for this Oh man. Yeah, this is not Oh Go Dude that thing was right next to me. I can hear you moving I'm dead Okay, we need to find this key. All right, the key's gotta be all the way at the back You're kidding me, bro. Oh my god. Okay. Nope.  I I made it out safe and sound.  Okay. Now I can feel good about myself again Okay, uh wait loading. Please wait. Oh gosh, okay I feel like I need a little breather after that. Um I think it's broken. All right. So here we are. Oh man. What is this? My flashlight died. I guess I have to stick with this lantern for now Don't tell me this is another maze, dude We just beat in one maze And he threw us in another Come on You gotta be kidding me All right. Um, well nothing's popping out So we finally meet. Oh no Dude, I can't hide anywhere I don't understand.  So we need to follow these spirits Oh nice another maze. Will you look at that? Find a white butterfly in one of the spirit gardens Okay, so we need to find the spirit butterfly and then We need to find the exit Okay, so we go entrance We're right here all the way up Oh man, this is bad Okay, instead of this way right All right. Well Now we just hope for the best. Ah, yes. Finally found the garden But there is no spirit butterfly here. All right So to find the spirit gardens make sure you guys are right here right when you reset or you die from the From the killer or whatever make sure you start turning right and just keep going right right We made it to the second garden But where's the butterfly at? Oh, there it is Dude, it sounds like I'm about to die Okay, now that we have the butterfly spirit, we need to find the door and finally we made it. Yes Okay, let's go Oh, man a dark tunnel Classic Where are you taking me now?

They snuck out soon to go on an adventure like they always did upon their adventure She did stumble onto a Sakura forest that was vibrant pink and red pattern that had such a beauty that was Mesmerizing to Hitachi to Hiachi in the middle of the forest of the entire Sakura forest Was a distinct and vast Sakura tree that seemed fairly taken care of Oh, so that one seemed to have life or something Compared to the others that might have been all dried up and dead I don't know but this is scaring me Run Run for no reason.

First time you'll know that at most seminars, you ask any questions, you know, always always very quiet. Yeah, so I'm glad there's a lot of, you know, questions and answers and interaction from the audience. And for the next speaker, yeah, we have Mark who will talk about who's actually from California and you'll be sharing something about this snicker net thing which some of us may not be very familiar. Right. So I'll hand over the stage to Mark. Yeah, hi. So I'm here presenting at SB7 about this thing called the Bionet that I've been working on, but I just wanted to quickly go through where I'm coming from and how I ended up here. Because I think I had a lot of trouble getting to the point that I am right now and I feel like a lot of people might have the same problem. So when I was a teenager, I discovered open source. I read this book and I realized that this wasn't just like cool code to play with, but it was more like a small revolution happening. So I was playing around with Linux and I got excited about that there's a whole community around open source. But it was early days and I couldn't find any real community. I was in a small town and couldn't find any community around working on open things. So when I got to university, there was a Linux user group joined this. But you know, it's just in the end, it's just like 5, 10 people sitting in a room staring at each other and playing with source code. And we had trouble getting the community to move beyond just that. So, okay, this is kind of a dark image, but this is kind of a dusk image of KS Communications Camp. And for those of you who don't know about KS Communication Camp, there's a KS Computer Club in Berlin that's existed since I think 1987 as a hacker activist group and a hacker space, a sea base in Berlin. Probably the first real hacker space in the world. They put this on every four years and the next one is in two years. So it's basically an old Russian air base that's now an air museum. So all the planes are there and all the old hangars are there. And you just come there like 3,000 hackers and hang out and camp in tents and then you have a week-long conference and it's awesome. It's like a hacker city. It's like a hacker burning man. And everyone comes there and they're like, should we just stay? And I have a hacker city and live in a hacker city. So I was very inspired by this and the 2007 one happened to be the one where the people who started the meta lab hacker space in Vienna, they showed up and they said, here's how you start a hacker space. We just did it. And they did it very easily because they got all the people from Germany who already had a hacker space to come and donate all the stuff they needed. The day they opened the door, the day they got the key, there's a whole cadre of hackers standing there with computers and never-ending gear. But they were like, here's the blueprints. Here's how you start a hacker space. Everyone came to this, went home thinking we should start a hacker space. And a lot of people did. That was 2007. It was just the one of the cool photos where they lit up the jets with LEDs so they looked like they're burning fuel. Okay, so meta lab in Vienna, which I just had the opportunity to visit last week for the first time. So that was really good to see. So then every year they have this conference. It's just a normal conference in a conference hall in Berlin or Hamburg. It's the Chaos Communication Congress. There's this guy talking. I wasn't there but I was live streaming it. And I saw this talk by this guy I didn't know about called Drew Endi. And he was talking about programming DNA. And I was like, what's this guy doing at a hacker conference talking about biology? And he made it sound like you can just program DNA, program life the way that you program computers. So I thought, oh, I want to get into this. How do I get into this? I had an email. I said, Drew, how do I get into synthetic biology? I'm an IT person. And I'm in Denmark. And he said, maybe you could try getting a job in a bioinformatics department and then slowly move edging into the lab. So I tried that and learned some stuff, but they didn't let me into the lab. So I was like, how do I get into a lab? I want to try this stuff. I was in Copenhagen. There's a lot of restrictions in the European Union on genetic engineering. In the meantime, however, we finally started our hackerspace in Copenhagen in 2009. So at least we had that. We had a decent sized hackerspace. And we had a community around us. And finally we had some community around openness in Denmark. I need that. Yeah. Awesome. Yeah. So then we tried to start. And I was like, well, if I can't get into a lab, maybe we'll just start a lab. So we tried starting a DIY biospace or a biohackerspace in Copenhagen, ran into a lot of issues because of the regulations. We tried to talk to the people who were actually certifying things for biosafety level one. They wouldn't talk to us because there's rules about that. They can't really hold your hand. They can just come in and look and certify good or not good. It's one of those things where they have this separation of powers. So you basically have to hire someone who has already done it to go through it. It's a very complicated process. So we just had to work with stuff that was legal. So you can do genetic engineering in the European Union without certification, but you can only move things around within the same realm of life, basically the same species. That's not very interesting. But you can do stuff like, you know, you can run 16S RNA, just do species identification, stuff like that. Okay, so skipping ahead. So I gave up, basically, and I just took the easy route and Denmark Education is free.  I'm going to go get a master's degree from the university that has a lab. I'm just going to fill my course schedule with lab courses. I did that and cheated. And I got lab experience.  Hey, Drew, who I haven't contacted since my initial email a few years ago. Can I come work in your lab? And he was like, yeah, sure. And so I went to Stanford. Or actually, at that point, I went to J-Bay in Emeryville and worked with Adam Arkin and Drew Endi. And it was a great opportunity to work with the team there. So I recommend this. If you have this opportunity, you have a bachelor's project or a master's project. You can use that to get into places by saying, hey, I have free labor. You want to choose your own project. But if you give that up and say, you tell me what you need to work on, you can get into a lot of places. That's what happened there. Then while I was working on that, I met someone who was trying to start a hackerspace in Oakland. And they already had a name for it. So we started meeting around this place called Suderoom that Jenny mentioned before. So we managed to start a new hackerspace. And it kind of came out of the Occupy Oakland movement. So it's much more radical and much more organized around activism and activism in general. Okay, let's get me ahead of it a little bit. Well, once we were starting this hackerspace, there was already another hackerspace in the area. And one of them was BioCurious. Turned out a lot of people at BioCurious, and if you don't know about BioCurious, it's the oldest hacker space in the US, I believe, or maybe around the oldest, one of the first. And it is in the South Bay. And a lot of people were commuting from Oakland or the East Bay about an hour and a half to go there. It turns out a lot of the co-organizers weren't living where the space was. So they were like, we should start our own space. And they were showing up at Suderoom. So we thought, well, maybe we can start it out at Suderoom, or maybe we can take Suderoom and Counterculture Labs, which was the name of this new biohackerspace, and maybe some of the other groups that do radical organizing and get together and get a bigger place. And because rent is expensive. So while we were doing that, we started some projects to just start working and stuff. So this is actually like the back room of someone's house, where we just like... What? I always share this moment again, but I'm doing my part. Yeah, yeah. So this is by the... So one of the people in the group, they had this guest room, basically, that was unused, and we set up with the first Biolab there. This is the US, so you can do this when you don't have to get sort of... Yeah, so I'll play the video while I'm talking, I guess, if there's... Oh, I don't have internet, sorry. Offline copy. Do you want a Wi-Fi? Here we go, I have it here. Offline copy. So it's kind of... There's a voiceover, but never mind. So this project, we were trying to find a project to kick off our biohackerspace, and we thought, it's okay, I'll just talk. And we thought, what if I start... What if we do something that is related to it, something everyone cares about, or like food? So we thought, what's something that's lowering fruit, like a first-generation genetic engineering project, where we just have to make a protein, not like a whole pathway. And it's something everyone cares about. So we said, oh, what if we just make cheese protein? And we just take... And this is actually a collaboration between Biocurious and the now almost existing counter-culture labs. So if we take the cheese protein genes, there's like three important ones, stick them into yeast, and then just purify the protein, and then we can just add the other parts of milk that go into cheese, which is like fat, and water, and sugar, lactose. And maybe we can make a cheese. So we put a Made in the Go-Go campaign. We got about $37,000, because people got excited about this project. We hadn't aimed... I think we aimed at 10K or something. So overwhelming response, a lot of media attention. And then a lot of people were like, when can we have this cheese? Where does this stand? What? Where does this project stand? Yeah, so this project, we got to the point where we got small amounts of expression of the proteins we're interested in. The most difficult one was kappa-casin. Kappa-casin is kind of the magic of cheese. Actually, the magic of milk. So brief detour, I guess. But the way milk works is that what milk is, evolutionarily, what this purpose is, is it's a delivery mechanism for high concentrations of protein through a fluid medium, from a mother to offspring. And protein's difficult, because protein's generally hard to dissolve in water in high quantities. So kappa-casin acts kind of like soap acts for oil and water, but between proteins and water. It's a hydrophobic and hydrophilic protein in different ends. And it creates these little micelles, these little spheres where all the hydrophobic ends are pointing inwards and the hydrophilic ends are pointing outwards, and it's like a ball of protein. So once you have kappa-casin, you can dissolve huge amounts of protein in a liquid, and then you can, and that's milk, well, with some other stuff. And once you have it in the liquid form, with a bunch of fats floating around as well, and sugars, if you suddenly cleave off all the ends that are sticking out all the hydrophilic ends of that protein, then it rapidly drops out of solution, really rapidly. And in fact, all those fats and sugars and a lot of the water gets trapped in a protein matrix, which is what's basically cheese. Then the only thing remaining is to squeeze it, salt it, and age it. So if you can make kappa-casin, the theory is you can make cheese. So like I said, we only made my new amounts of this stuff, and we still have a lot of money in the bank account, because we decided we're only going to use the money to buy lab equipment and we're only going to buy it used and reagents. And we're not going to pay anyone, because it's not enough money to pay someone to work on it. Approaching purification. So because it's so small amounts, we've only done jellies. We only run jellies for the approaching purification. So of course, we ran some immune essays, so we managed to get some antibodies for some of these things, because they're so well-known from the dairy industry, they've been analyzed a lot, so you can get antibodies for them. What we just did is we replied for funding from New Harvest, which is a group that supports these new-style engineered foods and vegan replacements. They actually came to us, so I think we have a good chance of getting funding for them, and if we get this funding, we'll probably hear back next month, we have enough for two people to work half-time each eight months, and that should be enough to get us to a small scale proof of concept, which hopefully will get us enough attention from funders that the people in the group who are interested in doing a commercial product can do that, though of course everything that we develop is on our wiki open source, freely available for everyone. What about our foods for the day?   I just wanted to make sure. No, they're stealth modes, so they don't talk to us. So there's another different group that they start out copying called Moufri, and they're doing almost the same thing, they're focusing on milk, which is slightly more complicated in some ways, less complicated in other ways. You don't have to get the capricious in micellular structure right, but you have to make more different proteins. They've been going for almost as long as we have. I think they started like six months or something after we started. In the beginning, they weren't sharing, we talked to them and they were like, we can share, we can talk and we'll share our info, and then they stopped talking to everyone, including the media, and we actually got pissed off journalists calling us, complaining about them, because they wouldn't even talk to them about the stuff that had already been made public earlier. So I think that happened when they got investors involved and the investor was like, you have to be secret. And then we haven't heard anything since then, it's like two years ago. So we don't know what's going on. We're going to have a product schedule later this year, right? They keep saying that. Anyway, let's see. Sorry. So I was talking about how we wanted to get all going on a big space, so we actually did that. A bunch of different groups that we knew and a bunch of different people who had ideas for groups that we wanted to start all went together and said, okay, let's find a space. And then we found this awesome space. It was a 20,000 square foot and it's about 2,000 square meter space in this north neighborhood of Oakland. It's an old Italian space that was actually built as a community space. It's like an Italian social club. And it was just being used by these two older people who were living there using it as their home. So after much negotiation and lots of running around and finding enough groups that we can actually afford the space, one of our friends doing most of the work of negotiating with these people, they agreed to a three-year lease with an option to buy with a lower-than-market rate price to buy. And we rented for two years and we moved in. We started the hacker space and the buyer hacker space in the same big room in the back next to each other and a big beautiful boat. Actually, I should have played the video by Etron. Thank you. There we go. So we also did crowdfunding campaign for that.  So of course they did our video. It's all one-shot. Yeah, it's a one-shot video tour of the entire thing. And after two years and a lot of effort by a lot of people, especially Jenny over there, we managed to buy it a few months ago. We got a $1 million anonymous donation that helped quite a bit. You said no? You said no? Yeah. Okay. Mark, this is the camera. Yeah. Let's read it. It's on Shattuck Avenue of North Intimus Cal. So this is, as you can see, we just moved in and we just put up stuff to make it look sciency for the video. We didn't actually have anything yet. And here's the normal, here's the studio room, the normal hacker space. It was a little more established at that point. So we actually had some real stuff going on, including the repurposed, reprogrammed robot arm pouring tea, as you can see here. So that's an old industrial welding robot. And then, as you can see, a lot of antennas here, because one of the products we have out there is a community mesh networking project, because we're really pissed off at Comcast and AT&T so we're trying to replace them with a community network. And lots of space, like this printing press collector is one of the few collectives that, not a few actually, quite a few, the collectives that didn't exist before the Omni ended up not lasting. They didn't try to start things and they fail. So that put us in a bit of a crisis situation with God's to Wrench. But a lot of people in our community came together and just lent us money, kept piling money into the black hole, until we could buy it. We have about 10 member collectives right now. 10? Yeah, so. Ten member collectives, which have varying degrees of participation. Like one of them is conduct bombs, which distributes, if we move to the people, it's all volunteer, some days a week. And that membership is pretty big. It's probably 200 people who occasionally volunteer, maybe 20 who are super regular. The suit room is kind of similar. We technically have 180 members, but only 15, 20 people who are there regularly. These collectives are all very different. So there's the hacker space that has traditional membership structure, but it's open to the public. And then there's stuff like Food Not Bombs, which they exist solely to pick up excess foods from grocery stores and restaurants, and then give them to people who don't have cooked them into meals and then serve meals six days a week to anyone who wants them on the street. And they're trying to renovate the kitchen, the old industrial kitchen in the basement. Okay, I'm skipping in. I think we're generally on a scale basis. So maybe we'll split a share of the door, or maybe we'll ask for like $200 for the evening, or if they're actually charging at the door and making some money, then we'll ask for like the standard, which is like $400 for the ballroom. Okay. For meeting spaces. We should move on. Okay. So we also developed on software all these things, all these collectives. So I just wanted to mention a couple of them, if people are interested. DumpScribe is a piece of software that takes the smart pens, the live scribe. It supports everything except the newest wireless version.  And when you dock it back, they instantly go online, get converted to open formats like PDF and Agrabiz for the audio, and just instantly go to your website. So this helps when people want to see what did people do on this community project yesterday. Just like everyone takes lab notes and they're instantly available online. We also have Google Labeler because when we created all these crowdfunding campaigns, suddenly we have to send people a t-shirt and all these things. It's really difficult. And so we created this thing that prints pre-paid shipping labels and like normal address labels from the CSV dumps from Kickstarter and at Indiegogo. Yeah, as I mentioned, we're also doing a community mesh network. It's one of the more active projects. It's not really open science, but if you want to do open science, you need infrastructure, one of those communication. And if we don't own our own communication networks, then people can censor what we do. So long-distance Wi-Fi links from rooftop to rooftop using mesh networking protocols, a firmware that we developed based on OpenWRT allows people to communicate directly and without relying on the internet. This is another one we're doing, disaster radio, which was the reason I was in Vienna, presenting about it. It's a very, very low bandwidth, but much easier to deploy and completely off-grid based on solar power network that we just had the first prototype on. It's only like a few kilobits per second, but that's enough for chat and things like that. Okay, so right now, I work for Biobricks Foundation because I ran out of money, so I had to get a job after three years of just doing all these volunteer projects.  They support, they create supporting technologies of both legal technologies and software and hardware for promoting openness and just improving the situation within synthetic biology. So we're here presenting this project called the Bionet at SB7, and the Bionet is a decentralized wetware sneaker net. It's kind of like the internet for stuff. So the internet is cool, but you can only transfer information, and a lot of people are like, well, you can just transfer the DNA sequences and then synthesize them, but first of all, not everything's just sequences. A lot of stuff is actually like other kinds of samples, and you can't really synthesize a full organism quite yet. It will take a while before we get there, especially for some organisms. And a lot of people can't really afford to synthesize everything every time they need something. So we're trying to make a way for people to share their biological information really easily. And for that, we created the Bionet. And the Bionet is multiple different things. It's both wetware and software and hardware. Let me just put a full video where I'm talking here. So, this is, well, wait, this is a little too big, isn't it? Yeah, now we can see it. Okay, so this is the Bionet software. It's basically just an open source web-based inventory system written in Node.js. And as you can see, it has nice 3 visualizations for your lab inventory. So you can put stuff into it and tell it where stuff is. And then when you scan barcodes on it, it'll open up like this and show you, oh, it's in this box and this rack and this freezer. And the idea is we give people a free and open source really nice inventory management system.  And then people happy and they use it. And then there's a little button on every single thing you add to the system that says, make it open, make it available to the world. So, this is not just one web app running on one web server where you go and use it on our server. You can install on your own web server and then there's multiple installations and you can use your own domain and it's all, you can keep your data private. You can keep it on your own computer in your space if you want. But then as soon as you click make public, what happens is that all of the nodes, they find each other. They actually, it's actually on the back end using the BitTorrent DHT so it uses peer-to-peer technologies to discover and connect all the nodes together. And then when you search, the search travels across the entire bionet and gives you the results back and right now we just have plain text search, we just basically launched it today and it's very alpha level software but I think in like a month we'll have the blast search ready as well and the elastic search so we'll be able to do more like human language stuff that corrects our spelling mistakes and do real blast searches across the entire, all the sequences of bionet. We support FASTA, FASQ, GenBank and Espo out of the box but of course you can always add more formats because it's open source and we also support these, I didn't bring the printer because I didn't want to lug it along but basically we have the scanners and printers and especially off-the-shelf stuff that we just hook up to a little Raspberry Pi running our software that Cloud enables these USB things so you get a little cheap label printer, a USB label printer and then it's like $60 thing from Brother and then you get the special label paper that can hold up to minus 80, it's not very expensive and then you load our software onto the Raspberry Pi, it automatically connects to your node and then when people hit print in the web app it sends it to the Raspberry Pi, sends it to the printer and prints it and we have the same thing with a little scanner unit also equipped with a Raspberry Pi and then we have, we're developing a system where you use these little Bluetooth low-energy tags, see if I have one, they're like $6, you've probably seen them to help you find your keys and so basically when in a lab it's usually a fairly secure environment so logging in doesn't have to be like using a password and two-factor authentication so basically the Raspberry Pi is just detected when you're near so you associate this with your user account and then when you walk over to the scanner and scan something if you haven't pulled up on your phone or your laptop anywhere you haven't pulled up under your user account it shows what you scanned and if you print something it doesn't print until you walk over to the printer and then spits it out when it detects your proximity and that's easy to do because the Raspberry Pi is built in Bluetooth and these things are cheap so another thing that happened today is that we announced this partnership with the Briberpix Foundation and TWIST which I thought you might find interesting we're basically buying about 10 megabases of synthesis from TWIST and we managed to convince TWIST somehow I was not part of this so for those of you who don't know most synthesis companies almost all of them when you buy stuff or see DNA from them they actually release it under these terms that don't allow you to share it with anyone else most people don't know this because they never read the terms but it was hard to find a company that was willing to make this stuff open so another thing that was released that is not quite probably yet because there's a common period that's like a request for comics for 60 days right now on the open MTA so if you've ever dealt with material transfer agreements you've probably dealt with the UBMTA which is what all academic institutions use almost all to transfer materials between each other and the UBMTA is like a contract that you sign in order to get something from someone else saying that you only use it for academic purposes you won't use it for commercial purposes and you won't pass it on to anyone else out of sight of your lab that's really limiting and if you get something from Edgene it's under UBMTA so then there's always a way around it which is to re-synthesize if it's a piece of DNA that can be expensive sometimes it's difficult if it's a special piece of DNA or if it's an organism you can't do it so we release the open MTA which is basically like MIT style license you can do whatever you want but it makes all the lawyers happy at the universities so our lawyers have been going around signing people up signing universities out for this at the institutional level so that the academics can share in a way that can be reshared these 10 megabases 10,000 genes I don't know why they say 10,000 genes these 10 megabases will be decided by the community and will probably just put up like a subreddit and people can like post I want this gene and then up vote and down vote and then the top genes will synthesize and release under the open MTA and then send them to the people and the only thing you have to do is you have to guarantee or you have to promise that you're going to reshare them with someone else so if you have ordered something and a lot of people wanted it then you have to be responsible for sending some out to other people yes yes, especially anyone who has a minus 80 freezer can I talk about the minus 80 freezer? yeah, okay I think I'm going way over time but I wanted to mention two little projects I'm working on so this is a little PCB maybe you can pass it around and it's just a funny little idea I had but I'd like to get more people working on it it's a the idea was what's the minimal what's the cheapest bioreactor you can make and I thought well two more important things a bioreactor has to do is maintain temperature and have a light and make a magnet you can spin or not spin to stir it so I thought can you do that on a piece of PCB so we tried to make this prototype PCB that has magnetic coils built into it that can both be heating and generating the rotating magnetic field and this is the first test and it definitely heats which is easy but if the glass is just a little too thick it can't spin the magnet that well so we need to upgrade our fab process to get 12 ounces instead of this is 4 ounce copper which is double the normal amount of copper but if we get to 12 ounces I think it will work and maybe we could get these made for like 5 bucks a pop plus maybe 5 bucks for electronics and then a little Erlenmeyer flask and then maybe we can say we can sell them as little kits for people to play with in schools and stuff and maybe they can be upgraded and then another thing that we're working on is a it's a personal minus 80 freezer because we realize this is a huge problem for a lot of labs that's like the limiting thing that makes a lot of things impossible for them it's no minus 80 we have a minus 80 we just got it we're very excited about it but even if you can get one for free the amount of power that it takes is just really expensive so we took this little what do you call it like a thermos you can get these thermos as a vacuum inside they're very cheap but you can get ones that are really big and wide and then we just add a ton of more insulation around it and basically made you know how incubators a lot of them they have water jackets on the outside like a basically a layer of thick layer of water on the outside to stabilize the temperature well this has a the opposite it has a glycerol layer on the inside to stabilize the negative temperature so if you mix a third glycerol choose there's water mental melting temperature is minus 45 centigrade so that means if you get it below minus 45 centigrade when you open it even though it's a tiny compartment that wants to heat up really quickly you have this water jacket where the temperature runs up from minus 80 to minus 45 and it stops until all the glycerol water solution is melted so it's a huge buffer which also means you can probably transport it and then we stick the whole thing in a bucket full of even more insulation and then the cooling comes from a chunk of aluminum just running through the glycerol that's connected to a bunch of stacks of Peltier units like three levels deep with a really beefy CPU power and then a couple of really beefy coolers like CPU coolers fans with well and there we've only gotten it down to minus 35 right now so we need to add more Peltier's that was with six for the 15 amp Peltier's at 12 volts but we're hoping to try to make this something that anyone can build so they can at least have a tiny amount of minus 80 in there what? wait for the unit? I don't know probably like six kilograms or something yeah okay it's very small it's like I haven't actually measured it but it's like this much diameter and then it's like a 10 centimeters deep what? no we're gonna have to three we're gonna have to laser cut some little holders for the tubes that fit inside of it you could probably have like two levels of tubes and maybe maybe you could have like 60, 70 tubes or something I think you could fit in there did it actually hold for a day? no I've only got it down to minus 35 so far but I ran out of do you do it? yeah and it runs on 12 volts so the hope is that you can toggle it into travel mode and then plug it into your car cigarette lighter plug and then just not open it and maintain temperature while you're driving but we don't know if that is gonna be viable with the amount of power consumption so we'll see I wish I had a picture of it I was forgot to take one before I left in a wax thermos? in a thermos just a thermos yeah yeah just a double hole how long does that last? how do you how do you prevent it from exploding with the dry ice you just you don't seal it? yeah I don't seal it yeah yeah okay they tell you the curious tyrofoam boxes with dry ice yeah with transformations yeah yeah the thing is you know some places like for example in Denmark you can't buy dry ice without a license the storage like to keep things cool and my friends in the food business and they have this packaging which is like I think it's wool but they make these boxes so it's like it's just wool and apparently you can see I really don't think they're for shipping for a long time cool okay well I don't have any more I thought it took so long thank you
