Nheolis Wind Turbine
French company Nheolis manufactures a range of beautiful, compact, efficient and sculptural wind turbines. What I like about sustainable design is the constant innovation–the ongoing reassessment of the problem and development of new and unconventional solutions.
This cutaway illustration reveals the typical inner workings of a wind turbine: drive shaft, gearbox, brake and generator.

Air Canada Leaveless
Air Canada's new environmental responsibility site, Leaveless, is now live. Featuring flight safety styled technical illustrations by me, the site explains the company's green initiatives including more fuel efficient aircraft, weight reductions and trials with hydrogen fueled ground vehicles. Hats off to Air Canada for taking measures for a greener world.

Now You're Thinking With Portals
Inspired by illustrator Nate Williams, I've developed a new password-protected client portal system.
Powered by Blogger, a client's portal will include project briefs, delivery dates, sketches, roughs & comps and final files. This will allow me to keep clients constantly informed on their projects, and make available their files at their convenience.
