Not really sure that this was all that fun, but I needed a mental break from the degree project.

renault_r30_take_two
Of course, the year that Kubica pops over to Renault F1 they decided to make their cars the ugliest ones on the lot. So, since I have to follow the team I thought it would be nice to sketch out something (hopefully) nicer. Can’t wait for this season.

Just for fun. I spent half the day looking up vw’s for the degree and land on the VWvortex Forums looking through MK1 pics.
lonely_volvo
I was in Stockholm last weekend and had to park in an underground parking lot that was completely empty, except for this worn out, broken down Volvo p1800. I snapped some pics and threw on some retro flare to them.
dashing_drama
The past two weeks we’ve been working on kinetic movements and learning how to create drama or ‘wow’ factor around vehicles while, of course, considering ‘engineering.’ My idea revolved around the vehicle’s interior and when you pull the steering wheel towards you, the car would turn on and all the information and controls needed for operation would present themselves. For this exercise we had to test different movements, sketch them out, find an application then test the animations in CAD and finally present. These are some sketches and a teaser render. I might take this one in alias and finalize it a more….or just keep it loose and focus on degree.

Here’s the first post of the new year…of course it’s a sketch from a couple weeks ago. Just remembered I forgot to post it.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, all that fun stuff. Some of the guys were doing these sleighs and I could not resist doing one myself.

Ahh…feels good having a little break from school and slowly getting into portfolio and degree, of course. Here’s a little interior render, not sure for what yet.
goodbye_saab
Today we all learned that Sweden’s Saab brand is dead. It’s only fitting to post some of the pics from the Saab museum in Trollhättan we visited this past week.
volvo_142_retro_render
We just got back from a class trip to Goteborg to visit some Volvo and Saab museums, some assembly plants and to do some presentations to the design staff at Volvo. Awesome times. I was inspired by a race-spec Volvo 142 to do this render. I actually used an old race photo and sketched over it. The original can be viewed here.
