The World of Charles and Ray Eames at the Oakland Museum of California

October 18, 2018

The World of Charles and Ray Eames Exhibit opened this past Saturday at the Oakland Muesum of California. The exhibit was as humanizing as it was exalting, a great reminder that the Eames were regular people that spent time developing their talents and being patient with their work. Inspiring to see the Eames’ broad range of product, movies, furniture and architecture.

24-hour sketch-a-thon

March 27, 2016

From the 24 hour sketch-a-thon the other day.

Started off feeling good about the list of things I wanted to get after- (footwear, logo's, tags, characters, people, furniture, housing, abstract, etc.)

Hit a wall about 4 AM but got through with a little background noise from Netflix and when the sun came up it felt like I was on the home stretch.

Check out the Coke, coffee and junk food powered results:
