Once I had selected the adjective “imposing,” I had to start exploring the word with both 2D and 3D sketches. I went about this with three different techniques: hand sketches, CAD sketches, and physical paper and blue foam models. Hand and CAD Sketches One of the reasons I started taking ID classes was to improve [...]
The second project of my Industrial Design Form class was a bit more abstract than the first. We were asked to think about adjectives without an associated noun. That is, “fast” rather than “a fast car” or “fluffy” rather than “the fluffy bunny.” Specifically, we were trying to create a shape that conveys the adjective [...]
The first project given in my Industrial Design Form class at MassArt this Spring was an exploration of material interactions. The aim was to envision a block of one material impacting a small card of a second material. The materials were left for me to choose, as well as the nature of the impact between [...]
Here is the progression of my first attempt at drawing and rendering for class. Pencil sketch to pen line drawing to marker rendering. It only took me about 8 hours total.
Watching this was easily the best 10 minutes of my day today. It is pretty mesmerizing to see the absolute chaos that comes from such a tiny little bullet. I like the ballistics gel shots the best.

This has to be one of the first “CAD Demonstrations” in history, and it is pretty amazing what could be done with 1963 computer technology (actually the rig they are on was built in 1958, predating the microchip). From the description, this video depicts: …the software Ivan Sutherland developed in his 1963 thesis at MIT’s [...]
Bobby McFerrin gives an incredible demonstration of how music comes to people naturally. A crowd is coaxed into accompanying his vocal improv with only ten seconds of prompting. Watch the video: I think it’s especially important to note how much enjoyment everyone seems to get out of this little experiment. The guys on stage are [...]
