Yet another device from the mysterious past of the Gazelle Foundry Works secret lab, circa 1925.

Early on as the Electric Light Ray Emitter Drill was being developed, the problem of making the device essentially ‘cordless’ was overcome by amping things up past the point of batteries and coming to the solution of ‘Solid Current’.  The ability to take energy in the form of electrical current and turning it into a quasi solid form and storing it to power the drill was invented.  This is what that storage device filled with solid current looked like.

Alright, it’s what it might have looked like.  This illustration was created in Bryce7.  The following illustrations show the creation process.

There is a TON of great talent around the world, which adds to why I am so thankful for having my design selected from the Talenthouse design competition for ‘Current Motor’.  It’s a great product to be involved with AND it’s a Michigan based company as well!

I’m pretty selective on getting involved in design contests, because the odds are generally not that great of winning and you work up front for free.  On the flip side, when you try to win over a new account or client you put in time and effort creating concepts to show them how happy they could be with you doing their creative work – so, it depends on the situation.

Current Motor based in Michigan (so am I eh!), is one of those situations.  I like what they’re doing, and their location within the state.  They have created a high performance scooter capable of 65+ miles an hour (distance of 50 miles before re-charge).  Lot’s of features, check it out for yourself > Current Motor.

The design contest has a Earth Day theme, so I created some custom made leaf brushes from photos I had taken in the fall, and layered them on in Photoshop over the 3 templates they provided for the design competition.  Below are some quick images of the project- you can view my entry at this link (Talenthouse).

‘Drawn Magazine’- Putting Illustration into Context

People can appreciate art, but still be unsure of how they can benefit from it.  To help the consumer envision the application of images one of the jobs as an Illustrator is to put the work (‘talent’)  into context as examples.  One of the parts of my portfolio I’m building is ‘context’ based art.  Here are some examples that I’ve been experimenting with.

Here’s a design I submitted for  ‘Secret 7″‘ design competition to benefit The Teenage Cancer Trust.

I based my design on the single “City Grrrl” by CSS.  I kept it very minimal with some key elements that relate to the song and the event.  Great cause.

“The project will culminate in around 700 uniquely pressed vinyls displayed in an art exhibition at Idea Generation Gallery in London, Shoreditch in the week leading up to Record Store Day April 2012. All Secret 7” singles will be available to purchase, but none of the buyers will know who has created the sleeve, or even which song it’s for, until they are holding it in their hands – the secret lies within.”

An illustration that I made as the result of a momentary flash of inspiration from the 1974 song, “Killer Queen” by Queen.
