SUNSET RETURN

arriving after a long nice drive along the coast

FUEL CELL F1 PROTOTYPE 07

racing has been and will always be in our blood... new technology

will play an important role in its' jump into the next century

QUICK SKETCH 06

a quick hand sketch colored with photoshop using

the mouse

CORVETTE 1:4 MODEL

after the sketch, made 1/4 scale model in foam with

a lot of bondo and sweat...  at the time i nicked named it the "bat_mobile"

CORVETTE IN MOTION

my last project at ACCD summer of 92 was a GM sponsored

corvette project... what a way to end your education.. probably

one of my favorites... had the opportunity to meet the

Legendary Chuck Jordon.  i was highly influenced by the 63 split

window stingray model.  63 split window was so iconic that i felt it 

should be done again with a modern twist without losing its

strong emotional surfaces

CHRYSLER ADVANCED SPORT COUPE

an early sketch i did while interning at chrysler pacifica

of a 2+2 coupe in the spring of 92... i tamed it down later to make it a bit more realistic

the design concept was to borrow the artist cues of the cubist movement.  cubism reflected

the industrial age by describing movements on paintings which broke most all of the perspective rules of drawing.  i worked on some white foam blocks and started to mimic the cubist shapes by sanding the surfaces and studying the light and shadows that were the result of the surface manipulations

SWATCH DELIVERY EV

this was an independant study i did when I was a 7th term

student at ACCD back in 1992.  at this time i envision that there

would be more collaboration between  iconic product firms

(nike, swatch, apple) and the transportation industry.  i used swatch because of its 

strong brand image, global appeal and its' strong

design funkiness.  a year later after this project was initiated,

without any connection, mercedes-benz announced its'

collaboration with swatch and was developing the smart

vehicles for urban cities of europe, asia and north america

laws of attraction in working progress i guess

INDY CORVETTE 3025

a sketch i did for 7th term vis com class at ACCD92

this is a 3 passenger vehicle where the occupants would

sit side by side to keep a well balanced weight ratio.  i was 

imagining by the year 3025, vehicles would be design with

the intention of not only being on the road but as well being

able to travel up into the skies, thus the winged influence shapes

NASA MOON BUGGY

personal project i thought would be cool to do for the

next moon missions by nasa. the mB-1 can adjust its'

road height according to the different terrains on the surface

of the moon

FUTURA

sketch i did for my personal website to show

what an anti gravity vehicle may look like. the idea

was to suspend the cabin under an exoskeleton frame

where the cabin can lean while the vehicle is cornering

into the turn

MITSUBISHI DIAMANTE 2030

a project i did as an intern at mistubishi design studio in

cypress, california 1991. inspired by the architectural

deconstructionism philosophy and the folding

techniques of japanese oragami. i had created a lot of

paper models and studied not only the surfaces

but as well the empty spaces between the surfaces

MERCEDES-BENZ FUEL CELL AUTO RACER 2030

a sketch i did for the entrance of the mercedes-benz advanced design

studio of japan to inspire guest who visited the studio in its' hay days

the design is to reflect mercedes-benz advanced technology in the area

of fuel cell development and active intelligent suspension
