Twenty-Second Century Satellite



Here's a fun sketch of a flying car that started out as an Edsel because of the upright center grill element. As I resolved it, making it a Satellite became more natural because of the bodyside ( from one of my favorite understated late 60's cars) and because it's such a great name for a Flying Car.

Gnarly Pile of Billet


I don't quite understand people's disdain for billet.  I agree it's often misused to make simple, crude looking parts, but it's also the choice method for making some of the coolest metal parts in the world, like racing brake calipers and fighter aircraft bulkheads.  I think as at-home rapid prototyping settles in, home based computer operated mills could start pumping out sweet billet parts with the same stroke of creativity that garage builders with migs and tigs are showing now.

Guzzi with Fairings

Thought this would end up being more comically massive, but it turned out sort of muscular.  It's loosely based on a Moto Guzzi V1 1000, whom's jugs I particularly admire.
