If you have an old Canon DSLR collecting dust you might be able to use it as a webcam. In this video, Evan shows you how to use the Canon 60D as a webcam for Zoom! Canon has a new EOS Webcam Utility and it works with some of the newer cameras. We wanted to try it with the 60D and it worked!
In this video we interviewed, the director of THE SESSION, Chris Webb. THE SESSION is a documentary about the krump dancing culture in Cleveland, OH. Black Valve played a small part in creating this documentary but we were super happy to help! If you want to watch the documentary you can click the Cleveland International Film Festival link below. You must be in Ohio to watch the doc at this time. We will update if anything changes. Thanks to Chris Webb, Conrad Miles and Red Bicycle Media!
As a bonus for checking out this article, we have a behind the scenes video filmed on the set of THE SESSION linked below. Enjoy!

Last week, Linus Tech Tips tweeted about 3D printing face shields to help frontline medical workers. We have a 3D printer, so I clicked the link to see how we could help. Since then, we have gone through a lot of trial and error but today we’re happy to announce we have face shields available for anyone who needs them. If you know anyone who might need the mask please email us, especially in the Cleveland and Northeast Ohio area. We are also creating a video to show how we went through the process. The video and blog post will include a of ton of resources if creating face shields is something you’re interested in. We have the new Linus Tech Tips videos linked below which has a lot of valuable info. I’d also like to thank Operation Shields Up and Prusa Printers for providing a ton of info and doing great work.

Hello! COVID-19 is affecting freelance artists in hugely negative ways right now. I have lost all my gigs for the next month, cannot apply for unemployment, and I have my 2019 taxes due. It's difficult to manage being freelance, nevertheless when there is a pandemic happening. It's out of all of our control. To try to remedy these unfortunate circumstances, I am offering discounted mini sessions (can be booked for the future) and selling off my stash of prints.
Print Prices
5x7 $10 each or 3 for $20
8x10 $15 each or 3 for $30
Framed 5x7 $20
