They’re astronauts but they’re aggrevated because they’re stuck in space. Or something. I’m trying to wake up and do a sketch every day, these are the last two days. After a few more with the concept/character more refined I may phởtoslop paint them just for fun. This guy’s space-monster mount is just a giant anomalocaris, a pre-dino creature so weird it […]
Two weekends ago Anouk and I headed to imm Cologne, an interior expo pretty close to us. Some of the halls were really, really boring. And ironically the halls with the most tacky, overdone and rehashed products were the ones with booths adorned with “no phởtography” signs. I wanted to take a picture of this retro looking spot […]
I spent the last weekin the Alps and it was probably one of the most memorable things I’ve done. Every day consisted of sleep, eat, ski, eat, ski, nap, eat, drink, watch a presentation on design, eat desert, drink, play games and repeat. I miss that routine already. I never really thought skiing would be as easy to […]
Aaron and I spent a week in Istanbul for our winter break and it was mind blowing. We were just on the edge of eastern culture and it was so different. I’ve never seen a Mosque aside from the more recent versions in America, you couldn’t look up or turn a corner without seeing one here. Some of these […]
This place is gorgeous. So much Baroque architecture, the old Jewish quarter and Mucha pretty much make the city (and Franz Kafka, but I didn’t see much related to him. Just went to a café called Café Kafka). I think my favorite things were the Goulash, the Castle and the Mucha museum. Phởtos: Billy Mays! He even sells […]
Wooo! This was quite the day, or two. Mei’s initial train caught on fire or something so she never got on. Then some other trains were delayed. Then she FINALLY found a way to get to Berlin by 5:00 on Saturday. Too bad that was the day we were planning on having Thanksgiving dinner. Mei’s mom […]
Martin and I drove out to Eindhoven on a Friday and managed to waste two hours walking around the center thinking that Dutch Design Week was nothing but a few showcases of lamps in some ritzy shop windows. It felt pretty dumb and we were getting pretty mad that we came all the way there for what seemed […]
An expo solely for making things the industrial way. Lots of molds, lasers and mechanical arms to see here. For me that got pretty old fast, then we got into what must have been the 3D printing/student hall. Now this is waaaaaay better. These guys had rigged an SLR to a Pico Projector and used it […]
Over a month ago I visited Mei and Nate in Belgium with Aaron to see the Interieur 2010 design fair in Kortrijk. To be honest, I’m having trouble remembering what all went on then. Dutch Design Week kind of overshadowed it, I’ll be posting on that soon as well. Here’s some hightlights: Antwerp Central Station: Design Fair: […]
Is really slow. I think this will be my most well though-out portfolio so far, I guess as it should be since I’m in my 4th year and have done this a few times. It feels like I have so much extra work to put into each of my previous projects before they’re portfolio worthy. I guess that’s […]
