Los Vesparados: Art of the Scooter
Los Vesparados: Art of the Scooter opens tomorrow in Minneapolis, MN. My contribution fuses technical illustration with the style of vintage travel posters. Prints will be available for purchase at the show, and from ImageKind. The show features an impromptu scooter show, vintage scooter memorabilia, mod tunes and lots of great artwork. If you're in Minneapolis, definitely check this one out.

MakerBot Industries - Robots That Make Things
After seeing my Cult of Done Poster, compulsive Maker extraordinaire Bre Pettis asked me to collaborate on MakerBot, a low-cost, modular, open-source 3D rapid prototyping printer kit. The build-it-yourself robot prints physical objects designed in 3D software using extruded molten plastic. Builders are encouraged to share the objects they design via Thingiverse and even contribute to the development and improvement of MakerBot itself!
My contribution to the project was of course the visuals. Together we developed an identity and imagery for MakerBot - a bold, playful retro-futuristic reality where a lunar office worker can email his son at home on Earth a toy he designed, and his son can remix and share it with friends.

Canadian Woodworking Magazine
The latest issue of Canadian Woodworking Magazine, illustrated in part by me, will be appearing in finer stores and mailboxes near you in the next couple weeks. The October/November 2007 issue features about 15 spots, illustrating project measurements & assembly and woodworking tools & terminology.
Kudos to Mike Del Rizzo's lead illustrations, which look great.

New Technical Illustration and Motion Graphics
Some additions to my illustration and new motion graphics portfolios. I've taken down the comics section because I have very little time to dedicate to it. Look for it going back up sometime in May.
