Design to a T

Mystery Car

2011-07-22T15:45:00.003-05:00

This was an attempt to sketch a car by describing forms instead of lines. Not really sure where this one is going, but it was fun to try

Michelin Challenge Design 2011

2011-01-05T18:56:00.003-06:00

Congrats to the 2011 MCD winners. Here was my entry, a wind turbine powered vehicle. The next MCD is set for the year 2046 which means it's time to get cuh-razy with it. Should be fun.

Tesla Supercar

2010-06-15T22:55:00.002-05:00

This was my Alias final project: design a supercar. Doesn't get much better than that. Right now I'm really wishing I could dive into Alias this summer, but my graphics card won't support it.

MCD 2011

2010-06-11T12:37:00.002-05:00

One of the sketches I did for my Michelin Challenge entry. It's a wind powered vehicle designed specifically for the midwest.

Great balls of fire!

2010-05-12T01:17:00.001-05:00

You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain
Too much love drives a man insane
You broke my will, oh what a thrill
Goodness gracious great balls of fire!

Denied!

CCS won't let me study abroad in Italy because of liberal arts credits. I have a love hate relationship with this school, right now I'm somewhere around abhorrent hatred.

Italy here I come!

2010-04-10T14:29:00.002-05:00

If things go right, I'll be in Italy for the summer at LDM

Honda Release Concept

2010-04-10T14:06:00.004-05:00

Final Sketches (ignore the merc logo)

Honda Project Final

2010-04-10T14:02:00.001-05:00

This was my final presentation board for the honda project.

cityscape

2009-11-17T23:39:00.001-06:00

Same rendering that I thought deserved a background after I spent so much time on it.

It's been awhile

2009-11-17T06:57:00.001-06:00

I haven't posted anything since September so here's my (almost) final design for the Honda project.

Honda Project - research

2009-09-17T11:58:00.003-05:00

I'm trying to get a feel of Honda's design philosophy, but not caught up in it where it would hinder innovation.

Sketches for Honda project

2009-09-10T10:09:00.005-05:00

Rumor has it we're doing a crossover vehicle, possibly a CRV/Crosstour

Local Motors Competition entry

2009-09-02T12:33:00.004-05:00

From start to finish in 2 weeks.

One car, two car, red car, blue car

2009-08-29T19:53:00.002-05:00

I gave the LM project a new paint job.

Just like a canson..

2009-08-28T20:08:00.003-05:00

As you can see, I leave a lot of the background showing through.

Happy birthday MINI!

2009-08-28T16:56:00.001-05:00

I'm not a huge fan of MINI, but this gave me a reason to draw one.

LM SF project

2009-08-20T22:33:00.003-05:00

I think I'm getting a hang of this photoshop thing.

LM SF concept side view

2009-08-19T08:31:00.004-05:00

I'll probably end up redoing this side view because I'm still searching for a rendering style that I'm satisfied with.

LM proposal

2009-08-17T13:10:00.002-05:00

For a working sketch, I probably spent too much time on this. It's somewhere between a fastback and a hatchback w/ the same features that I mentioned earlier.

Local Motors San Francisco shooting brake project

2009-08-16T16:44:00.004-05:00

After doing some research on SF driving, I'm making a car that has covered rear wheels, but they're still able to rotate for a tighter turning radius when parking ( SF parking is a nightmare). Also, the doors and glass roof slide along the roof pillars so you can enter/exit in tight spots and also to make it a semi-convertible.

Motorcycle project sketches

2009-08-10T17:25:00.004-05:00

It's finally starting to come together. I have about 90% of my design worked out

Hub center steering

2009-08-09T11:22:00.002-05:00

Steering setup for my motorcycle project. I really need to name this thing.

Motorycycle Project - handlebars

2009-08-06T18:29:00.006-05:00

Triathlon inspired handlebars for my motorcycle project.

WDC Motorcycle project

2009-08-04T14:50:00.002-05:00

This is my final design direction for the WeDrawCars motorcycle project.

What would a 6 year old drive?

2009-07-27T15:05:00.003-05:00

This one is dedicated to Andy who asked me to draw him a "fast car."

Mean, green rally machine

2009-07-24T23:52:00.002-05:00

This rally racer has a frog inspired suspension that harnesses energy from the bumps in the road.

Quick and dirty

2009-07-22T17:27:00.004-05:00

Just the way I like it.
Time from start to finish: 48 min
# of paths used: 0

1st sketch w/ the new tablet

2009-07-21T14:49:00.002-05:00

No more using the mouse!! I picked up a new intuos4 tablet and have yet to put it down.

Starting on a positive note

2009-07-19T10:24:00.003-05:00

I just received my certificate for the dean's list in the mail for my 3.8 GPA this winter, although letter grades aren't as much of a priority anymore. I learned and improved A LOT more my first semester when I had a 2.8 GPA.
