Revisiting the CAD monkey model. I am treating it more like a sculpt.
I will model in pose , instead of rigging and posing.

Hand Sketches with Markers. Tad too hairy- lines need a little more confidence.

These are some development sketches for the Craftsman radio

Slow Cooker Concepts



At the sketch session in Auburn I really liked some of the design directions that we explored as a group. I kept on digesting some of those ideas, and kept sketching little thumbnails. A small personal sized slow cooker with some personality could be really cool.


Some more pragmatic design concepts.

I will post some development images later

Popsicle Design for Crate and Barrel.
Client: Tovolo Inc
The innovation here is that the popsicles are seperate, with specially designed lids that keep the odor out and allow the melted juice to drip into them.

Student Sketches

Continuing the Pimp Series, this was a sketch session that my friend Ben Thomas and I conducted at Auburn University on the 9th of Februrary. This was a sketch render that we generated in the realtime brainstorm/sketch/design session. There were a lot of great ideas and it was a great experience for Ben and myself. We will definitely be doing this more in the future.
If your school or firm would like to schedule a sketch seminar please send me an email.

I had a really great time at Auburn University this last weekend showing some sketch techniques to a really great group of ID students. It was one of the most fun presentations I have made in a while. I had intended on doing a demo of this sketch above, but we had to cut the presentation because of maintenance work that was being done in the building that we were not aware of while organizing the event.
