Update: Here is a photo of my little sketch on display in Rochester:

city car sketch

A colleague and I were asked to contribute to a local IDSA chapter's display booth at the Rochester Auto Show coming up this spring. This series of car sketches was an afternoon exercise done in sketchbook pro. It is conceptually a two-seater "city car" which takes on the form of a landrover crossed with a mini.

I havent updated here in a few months.  I’ve been very busy with all sorts of “other” projects.  This winter will be known as the winter when everything breaks for Ben: cars, computers, appliances, etc.  So, this is a temporary interruption.  There will be considerable activity soon.  Promise.

sightings: Skid Steer Ideation

My entry for the 1hdc ideation sketches challenge at core77.com was given an honorable mention for "cool topic" ! Sweet.

The second image is taken from a hands-on demo video for a new Lenovo ideapad u1 hybrid tablet on Engadget.com. They happen to be browsing Core77, and you see (for a few seconds) my skid-steer concept sketches. Original post here.

race fliers are fun!

one of my hobbies is rc car racing. it's a great hands on, social, competitive and interesting hobby. I volunteered to create promotional race fliers for my local track. here are the first three.

Nice image from a friend.

Thanks Brodie!

going up!

I’ve changed over my blog to run on wordpress.  I felt a little constrained by Silverstripe, which is still a great platform as a CMS but not a blogging tool.  The kajillions of plugins for WP attracted me too.  Hopefully, this is a step in the right direction.  Thanks for visiting, let me know what you think!

Now using wordpress

Oh look, my little airforce(1) concept was blogged on Gizmodo. That's all!
