Leading Solar Power Options…

Opening preViz illustration for an article on Americas ‘potential’ global lead in solar technologies…. a situation that some are seeing as an opportunity slowly slipping America by This may change now the Obama Admin is calling some of the shots….. so fingers crossed. Regardless… idea was never used. Feel my pain…. feel my anger….. but on the upside…. I did a little tweeking of Mr. Francis Bellamy’s famous words….

“I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands: one Nation under one SUN, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all.”

Cyberdyne Systems – Terminator – John Conner

A fun piece done in the spirit of ‘Terminator’. Shown here are DARPA sponsored designs we did for UAV’s (unmanned autonomous vehicles) originally published in an American Science and Technology Magazine.

These machines are designed to run both remotely and independently. Can you say ‘Cyberdyne’ three times fast?

The Journey

 

Early digital painting piece that was done when we were experimenting with a transition from Adobe Photoshop to Painter…..  Chris has really developed his mastery of the medium… he puts me to shame.  I can hold my own against just about anybody… except Chris.   :-)

Digital OLED Wallpaper – The ultimate office

Digital Wallpaper. Shown here is a fanciful digital rough for an OLED flexible digital wallpaper environment. The radically different manufacturing process of OLEDs has many advantages over flat-panel displays made with LCD technology. OLEDs can be printed onto any suitable substrate using an inkjet printer or even screen printing technologies. Read morethey can theoretically have a significantly lower cost than LCDs or plasma displays. Printing OLEDs onto flexible substrates opens the door to new applications such as roll-up displays, wallpaper and displays embedded in fabrics or clothing.

Dan is hoping in a decade or two you’ll be able to buy a roll of this stuff from B&Q and stick it to the wall like wallpaper. Total immersion. Whether you are holding your annual meeting at the bottom of the ocean or on the cliff sides of the Himilayas. Cool stuff.
