My First Concept Car Design

by haberdasher on January 29, 2010

Scion-c4-Concept-DesignOh man, why do I do this to myself?  I just pulled 2 consecutive all-nighters [with a 45 minute nap] In order to finish my video submission for ReinventTheWheels.com.  It’s a Scion sponsored concept design contest to see who might be selected to make their concept a reality show.  If you have a chance, please check out my YouTube Scion c4 Concept Design video submission [don't worry, it's under 3 minutes] to hear & see where my idea came from.  There are cameos by Jesse Gitter and Owen Roth [kinda looking like he could be ours].  Plus, if you’re quick, you’ll see my cue cards taped to the wall.  [Did I mention I haven't gotten much sleep the past few days]  Finally, I would like to extend a big thank you to my good friend Rob Roth [Owen's dad] for filming such nonsense.

December 3, 2009

It’s taken a while, but I now have a pretty legitimate portion of my portfolio on the site.  Please check the Navigation on the upper left for the new goods.  If you’ve taken the time to visit my coroflot.com portfolio most of this will be old hat, however I’ve now added a DIESEL footwear section.

Photography & Illustration

November 24, 2009

In the ever evolving landscape that is my portfolio, I have now added a Photography & Illustration section that is a bit short on illustrations.  It’s weird.  I love to draw, but I’m not a doodler and I wouldn’t call myself an artist either.  I get excited to design and usually do so during the [...]

Ok, so I don’t have what companies would call “an advertising budget”, but I’ve put together an ad for print or the web. Hopefully this will be able to act as an ice breaker when I cold email companies.  The image comes directly from my portfolio in the previous post.

With any luck this will be the “End of the Beginning”

August 29, 2009

It all started with the custom street bike [pictured] I had put together by Brooklyn Machine Works over the winter. I decided to call it NiteRiDa and once it arrived I got to work on the logos. Next, I had them printed and put them, not only on NiteRiDa, but my motorcycle, my computer, my [...]
