Goodies

Most of this is Rob Cunningham's work for the Homeworld Series, some of the sketches from 98.  I remember playing the game on a 700mhz "supercomputer" in 99 and being blown away by the visuals.

Well it's over.  3 months of crazyness at Honda.  If you're reading this Jay and Senan, I want you to know that you guys are the bestest.  Dong too.  I think you're the only ones that read blogs, so I wont mention any other names.  Good times.  Thanks.

I'll put up my internship project eventually, right now its time to sleep like a baby.

My hottest car from 03


I remember how proud I felt after adding in that awesome shading!  Let's not forget presentation either.  The subtle yellowed/dirty/vintage/wrinkled/vignette really complements the design I think.

Art Center Summer Show UPDATE

UPDATE:  Daniel Yorba's the guy.
Michael Ditullo over at Core77 has found the name and wrote a quick post about the project.  I feel special cuz they used my photo too.  Cutting edge folks...cutting edge...

My favorite of the show, fully functional (almost) bike prototype (carbon fiber forks, aluminum frame, brushless electric motor, etc. Really amazingly well made working(!) model. (1 term for design, 1 term for building). Sadly I forgot the guy's name. 
The one with the orange sticker. (Daniel Yorba)

Death Valley

JRID took us to death valley last weekend for some sightseeing. In the spirit of America, capitalism, democracy and all that is google blogger I carved my URL into the salt flat of a national park with a penny. Also, it's amazing how through 2 hours of looking at mountains slowly slide by, they all managed to be surprisingly varied. The reddish ones did tend to stick together, and so did the marbly ones. The boring ones were everywhere and didnt seem to care where they were.

Willow Springs

The promised Willow Springs pictures from 4th of July weekend. This event was the All Star Bash X. It's kind of like a pilgrimage for alot of people there (driving from as far as Chicago), and I've always dreamed to go to one. It seemed like a fairytale place where drift magic happens/ all the way over on the west coast. But then I was there, and it was fun. Met up with an acquaintance from Miami who has been living in Northern California for a few years now. He was driving the butt ugly Yellow/Blue/Red Silvia coupe.
Soo much eyecandy for the car nerd. The beauty of these cars is how raggedy they are. It all feels like a circus freak strip club for cars with all the bright colors, glitter, scratches, bumps, scraping-the-ground clearance, nutty engine swaps, colorful zip ties and lets not forget the Heineken oil catch cans.

AHO reppin CCS!


Super clean camera car

Driving it like he stole it

Crusty old corolla






and manhattan beach at 4th of july for good measure

For Zackypoo

Some unexpected goodies came with the car:
two piston toyota brake calipers swap up front
SS braided brake lines all around
mystery "coil overs" (guessing ebay hehe)

So this weekend I decided to drop the ride height about 1.5" all around, here's the result.
Not as 4X4 anymore

Work has sucked all my energy lately. This is about as creative as I can get

Here's my entry for the Syd Mead Accelerate competition. It's going against the likes of Annis Naem and Danny Gardner so my hopes aren't too high.


Also,
