I've recently built my own 12×12 studio space out of used shipping pallets and old real estate signs. My space is made of over 80% recycled materials. We got the insulation from a church remodel and almost all the building materials out of a burn pile at a sign shop. This is just a sneak peak, if you would like to see more of the studio there are TONS of pics of everything on my blog…

My space is also featured in the Spring 2012 issue of Studios Magazine.
Happy New Year!
