Personal Experiments
Shown here are 2 personal experiments I dug up from the archives….. always liked these.
Failure of the 401k
Illustration just recently published by Fortune Magazine. Another quick turnaround piece art directed by the venerable Nai Li Lum. God I love working with her - on rush jobs like this, its a real pleasure to have the client have a clear and concise vision of what they want illustrated. 
Bird of Paradise
Oil on Canvas - Bird of Paradise painted from a photo taken in the far end of the back yard…. 90 cm x 90 cm…. I may already have a buyer but if you are interested…. toss me a mail and we can talk.
No commentsTunguska Impact
At around 7:17 on the morning of June 30, 1908, a man based at the trading post at Vanavara in Siberia is sitting on his front porch. In a moment, 40 miles from the center of an immense blast of unknown origin, he will be hurled from his chair and the heat will be so intense he will feel as though his shirt is on fire. The man at the trading post, and others in a largely uninhabited region of Siberia, near the Podkamennaya Tunguska River, are to be accidental eyewitnesses to cosmological history.
“If you want to start a conversation with anyone in the asteroid business all you have to say is Tunguska,” said Don Yeomans, manager of the Near-Earth Object Office at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. “It is the only entry of a large meteoroid we have in the modern era with first-hand accounts.”
This digital sketch was done for a European Science and Tech magazine for an article on new developments on the mystery of the Tunguska event.

Comments are off for this postExpandable Cell Phone PDA design
This is quick rough for a series of designs we did on maximizing the usuable viewing and interactive areas of a cell phone - done about 2 years ago. The screen material would be made of an OLED memory metalic/plastic that goes rigid when a curent is past through it and 2 adjustable legs at the back allow for optimal viewing angles.
The iProd
The Perfect PC?
Nanotech
I have some cool links I will throw in shortly on the subject for interested parties.
They were part of a Cover spot and 2 page opening spread that was published last month.
Schrödinger’s Kat in a Box
Schrödinger’s cat is a thought experiment, often described as a paradox, devised by Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger in 1935. It illustrates what he saw as the problem of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics being applied to everyday objects. The thought experiment presents a cat that might be alive or dead, depending on an earlier random event. In the course of developing this experiment, he coined the term Verschränkung — literally translated, entanglement.
