Unfreefall series presented the artist with a tricky challenge: when you simply pour paint onto a canvas, it doesn’t really “fall” — it streams down in a long, lazy ribbon, stretching the moment of impact into one continuous, drawn-out event.

To make the paint hit the canvas as one big, satisfying drop — the way a real free-falling blob should — he had to invent something special. Thus the paintbomber was born.

It’s basically a tall vertical tube with a diaphragm trapdoor at the bottom. You load the paint inside, press the button — the diaphragm snaps open instantly — and the whole gooey mass is released in one glorious clump, plummeting straight toward the canvas. For extra precision (because why not?) the device even has a little laser-aiming system.

And yes — the full blueprints are openly published on GitHub so that any artist who feels like it can build their own paintbomber… or tweak it into something even wilder.
