ASC render #1

This week we narrowed down our ideas to two directions. This is the first of the "quick" monochrome renderings for one of my directions. I had alot of fun with this...Hope you like!

ASC roadster

I spent way too much time on this sketch today...its based off a small clay model I did in highschool. Now I notice problems with the windshield, humps in the back.. and proportions of the cockpit...
sigh.next time I'll get it

Detroit 1

Ahhh, finally a chance to use a tablet, courtesy of my generous roomie Mike. I haven't done a nightly since Cleveland, so this one felt good. I stuck a racer figure in there because I know I suck with human beings...

Went to the show again...heres some of the leftovers

Hello two thousand and eight! This year's resolution is to be fearless...

Anyways..went bike riding this morning. 15 miles at shark valley in the everglades. It was real nice except I had to pay $13 to rent a crappy bike for 2 hours. Saw plenty of gators...Jason even spat on one. Took some pictures with the gators by the side of the trail. Good times...good times. Also got a free engine from a guy I met at my uncle's new years party. It just happens to be a common swap for my car and he just happened to have one lying around that he no longer needed. A nice start to a new year. Tuesday marks the start for my adventure into the wintry hell of Detroit (CCS). Wish me luck

Karmann Ghia

Some sketches for a contest at speedanddesign.net + some bikes I forgot to post up + my final for drawing class at the CIA

Have you ever missed home?

Well yes, most of us have...at some point..for some reason. I never thought I would miss good ol Miami like I did. After 4 months of living in Cleveland, coming back home to warm swampy Miami was such a treat. I never really appreciated the:

• being able to see the sun
• having a real beach to go to
• those scrawny palm trees
• cuban bread (made with pure lard)
• cuban food (pure lard)
• cubans (suprisingly)

There are some things I'll miss about da CLE though:

• using the balcony as a freezer for my jello
• sliding around on the icy floor
• the quirky/awesome Cleveland peoples
• that one big windmill they have downtown
• little Italy and it's overpriced gelato
• feeling like I'm really in America
• the 2x2x2 subwoofer box in our dormroom.
  
• the wacom tablet :/
  

All in all it's been a great 4 months. I've learned alot, and I think I'm starting to see some change in myself...for the better...now I need to go find myself a tablet so I can do some more doodles!

nightly 9 vette
