New language to learn


...sorry for no new posts for such a long time-meanwhile, have a look at this cool "baby-language" system. I'm trying to learn it at the moment.

Sunday

Ballpoint


These were drawn to hilite three different directions for a truck project-"Cut, Organic, Wraparound"...ballpoint on letter size paper.

Copic robots



Just got a compressor for my Copic airbrush...so much fun after too much computer time (cintiq is very addictive!).

Ferarri photoshop


Form finding drawing for an entry-level Ferarri. Had lot's of fun researching Ferarri owners in LA...totally crazy but interesting people.

Saab platform photoshop


Here's a "platform" form-finding drawing. The idea was to design a platform similar to the GM HyWire concept for Saab.

Seat restraint ballpoint


Sometimes you need to strap in at work...

Photoshop Saab coupe


Photoshop painting exercise and form-finding.

Truck ballpoints



Here are some first stage sketches for a truck design project.

Old architectural model


Here's an old project done before I went back to school in LA. Model makers are some of the most laid back people I have ever had the pleasure of working with. The lead on this model was the owner of Architectural Models, Calvin Imai. I did lots of gluing, masking, painting, and etc. Back breaking work, but good result!

BMW Scansheet


This illustration was done as a "scansheet" to show some inspirational cars for a design project.

Photoshop robot


Painted in photoshop for a sci-fi pilot that never came out...

Robot pen sketch


Here's another helpful robot-maybe he can even write stuff down or sketch for you?

Boat pen sketches


...ballpoint madness. I really "filling a page" with ballpoint. Jacques Flynn did really nice pen-pages in school, I shoulda stolen one of his for inspiration!

Opel "Vela"


Sketches for an Opel concept inspired by surfers kites/kite shapes.

BMW Truck


BMW full-size truck sketches...

Scania truck


Got great feedback on these sketches not from a designer, but a truck driver...I still have to try some of his suggestions, especially re-forming the cab to a convertible format.

Audi charrette


Here's an Audi project, rally inspired.

Black and white renders


This was an exercise at school, using only black white and gray tone to render your forms...lot's of fun to do, like solving a 3D puzzle.
