3d sketching application

Check out Rhonda, a 3D sketching program developed in 2003. The Neil Young music adds to the video, kind of wistful and nostalgic. Anyway, good stuff. I want it.

Also, sometimes I take pictures of signs.

More Sketches and Vacation

Here are some sketches. Some are from our trip to the bay area, pictures of which are also slideshowing below. If I didn't mess up the slideshowing.

















































The trip went well, we stayed a few days in Monterey and one in San Francisco. Lots of driving.

Sketch Class Final Project

The final project for my design sketching class was to produce a product idea and present it with several sheets in ink and grey marker.

My product is a massage chair inspired by the form of a lava lamp. The chair has a bulbous, organic form, sitting on a conical metal base. This would mainly be targeted at an older nostalgic audience, as well as a 20-ish stoner audience. Bam. Stoned phone orders. "Dude . . . the chair is like . . . moving."

The idea is to have the motion of the swiveling chair charge a battery for the massaging action. Whether or not that would work in real life is another issue, reserved for "engineering." Heh. In any case, please take a look, and leave me some crits/comments.
