Mythical animals might save your day.

I got a chuckle out of this one last night while working on a client's product. I find this hilarious in 2 ways.  The first thing to note is ways in which humans cope with failure, by deflecting the feeling in a number of ways.  The second is the method which I chose to use.


What started out as a 4-legged product turned into a cute dino.


Sketching is fun, at times it can take a lot of concentration to pry one's mind off of reality and be able to fluently express one's ideas on paper.  At times one can become tunnel-minded with the drawing at hand, which can lead to some grotesque drawings or drawings which are simply not drawn right, yet are finished.  Such finished drawings are frowned upon.. as an artist one must be able to realize when the drawing goes from being 'Work in Progress' to complete and utter "Garbage".  The line is fine, is not set in stone and if you are using pencil, this line is flexible.

The Mighty Phiculator





What's that a calculator?


No it's a Phiculator.


Phiculator??


Yeah, as in Phi, 1.618, Fibonacci, The Golden Mean, The Golden Rule... yadda yadda yadda

Akira-Inspired 3 Wheeled Motorcycle Concept

Sometimes a movie comes along that really affects the way we think.  This movie may not come in the form of a flashy and expensive action flick but in this case came in the form of a cult classic from the 80's.  Ironically, Akira was a movie with a relatively humongous budget in comparison to similar movies of its time.  So while the movie was in fact 'expensive' it came across a vast ocean, and across an entire continent before it was played on my humble abode's VCR.
