Ginger Inspired Insect
Wednesday, August 27, 2008 – 2:46 am
My Buddies Albert Ng, John Park and Ben Mauro were doing a form language exploration, and I was feeling inspired to join. So this mini project is a response to their assignment.

These were done super quickly. I gotta take advantage while I have a few spare moments. I enjoy putting down color without having to use fancy brushes, like I use all the time at work. It is a nice departure and is a blast to do as it feels much more artistic! Anyhow, I did [...]

While I was still in school at Art Center I had a great time working on a project with the grad industrial design department. It was both entertaining and socially responsible, which was rewarding.

Honda: One to the Power of Four
Sunday, May 25, 2008 – 1:00 pm
This is actually old news, but something recently came up that reminded me of a project that I worked on while at the Honda Advanced Design Studio in Pasadena. The first assignment was to work on this concept called one to the power of four, a mega car that splits into four smaller cars to [...]
