COSMIC MOTORS: F1 Grand Prix Barcelona

I arrived at the F1 track of Barcelona just in time to enjoy a weekend of screaming engine sounds and sports with the Hispania Racing team. The car looks great in person and reads well on the track, a sight I had for the first time now, since I designed the racer's graphic purely digitally.

INSPIRATION SHOOT: Vintage Planes Chino

Had some fun yesterday taking pictures of vintage aircrafts. There is no better way to learn about color, proportion and composition then getting out there and stare at stuff. Like those gorgeous vintage machines. Priceless inspiration from a time when machinery was tanglible. Swing by my flickr (unfortunately not very high res there) if you like !

INSPIRATION SHOOT: Supercar Sunday

Today I decided to start a flickr page with my car photographs. Most of it will be from California car events, but will post other stuff too from Le Mans, F1, trips, etc... anything I photographed myself and feel worth sharing with you. Nothing fancy, mostly emotional shots, not very documentary. Anyhow, swing by if you'd like, it will grow...

PORTFOLIO: Light Jet Illustration HD

The Small Light Jet was a joy to design. Having the pilot riding on a barrel like fuselage with his arms nestled in chopped off wing sections was the key idea. The style language then followed the Light Cycle, established earlier. Gun barrels were arranged to line up with the pilot's arms, visually extending him into the weapon.

PORTFOLIO: Light Runner Sketch HD

Continuing the series of Tron Legacy showcase images is the final Light Runner design drawing. It's a hybrid of my standard sketch technique with ball pen and Prisma markers and a 3D Alias wireframe, completed with a Photoshop airbrush layer. Seen is the out-land mode with expanded tires, rotated wheel hubs for ground clearance, exposed rockets and a heavy rear to illustrate some acceleration.
