Luke Blackford, the creative gamer
Craft fairs are huge, almost as big (if not bigger) than comicons, developer’s conferences and cosplays. Ceramics, weavings, painting…it’s all good. There are likely very few crafters in the world, however, who will claim that their favorite media would include broken gaming consoles, USB drives or old T-shirts.
Enter Kentucky’s Luke Blackford, gamer and creative thinker. With a little ingenuity and a love for the video game, he has come up with some pretty interesting crafts, which he is currently selling on etsy.
One such item is a lunch box made from a broken classic Nintendo Entertainment System and a suitcase handle. Complete with a liner and a clasp to keep it secure, the NES lunchable is a one-of-a-kind accessory for the retro conscious worker.
Similarly, the Link’s Awakening USB drive is made from a genuine Game Boy cartridge. It has an 8GB capacity and has been fitted with a loop to give it a key fob like quality and make it easily portable.
Keep tabs on this creative gamer and any pending projects, or bid on current ones, by following him on his etsy profile page. His artistic offerings are fluid and always changing, so keep up with his crafts and don’t miss out on that one unique item that is just right for you.
