Old Rome

I do love the history of Caesar's Rome, and tried to capture that place in this drawing of a Roman street scene.

Ka-Kaaaaww

The Ravens will roar     ?

Fall Is Coming

It seems this fall is a bit late, as brutal summer hangs on.

Tryin' to stay loose...

Wanted to let the drawing come from me pushing the paint around on this one.

Something Mysterious...

...this way comes.

Practicing 3-D

My piddle paddle 3-d stuff. This design is of something rolling around in my head for some time now.

Steel Horse

In the concept sketch above, I did not do any pre-designing and just started to pushing large shapes/geometries around.  Below are some images that I generated because some students asked me to show them how I rough together some Motorcycle concepts from scratch.

I always stress to my students in class, to having a clear design direction, from the very beginning of your design goal.  So even in the abstract (step 1) it is already obvious where things are headed. Keep drawing!
