Degree Project 2010: Audi One Cultural Achievement Award
Finally I have time to post my thesis project, the Audi One Cultural Achievement Award. The vehicle is designed as an award to celebrate cultural hero’s outstanding achievements. Inspired by the Stanley Cup of the National Hockey League, I wanted to create a vehicle that would be passed on to each winner and be driven for one year, collecting the names and experiences of these great individuals. This project was in collaboration with Audi AG, done at the Umeå Institute of Design in Sweden.

Ferrari Nero
Over the last couple week’s I took the time to re-do my portfolio which meant giving some of my older projects a little bit more love. I had been waiting over a year to do that second render to show how the Ferrari Nero’s body would explode at high speeds. The broken panels move rearwards acting as adaptive spoilers, adding to the overall excitement.
Mudbox Maserati
Using Autodesk Mudbox I made a 3D underlay to sketch over, in this case it turned into some sort of Maserati. More Mudbox mayhem to come!
Sketchin’
Now that I’m finally back in Toronto for the Christmas break, I thought I’d get back into doing some quick sketch’s in ps. Nomad Racing is a fictional race company I made up for last year’s Project Nomad, so why not keep the team alive with some hot rods!
Project Nomad in FHM Germany – November 09 Issue
FHM Germany was kind enough to send me a copy of their November 09 issue with a short feature about my Project Nomad from last year’s ultimate driving experience project. Thanks to Klaud Wasiak for the great photography.
The World Wide Lightline Experience
A Group design project from the Umeå Institute of Design in Sweden. We utilized Lightcraft technology invented by Prof. Leik Myrabo to create a taxi inspired service. Group members: Jason Battersby, Jordi Parra, Anna Karin Bergkvist
Project Ghia
More Ghia, Getting closer to my final design. I’m finally happy with this front end, but it still needs to be worked out, along with the rear.
Project Ghia
I’m turning the Karmann Ghia into a full project, i’m having too much fun sketching these out and trying different render styles. More to come!
Sketch Club 3: Volvo Pickup Truck
This weeks Sketch Club we thought it would be cool to bring Volvo back into the pickup truck market. After visiting the Volvo Museum in Gothenburg we noticed that Volvo Trucks started with just general use pickup trucks before expanding into much larger transport trucks. These sketches were alot of fun to explore different pickup truck shapes and styling.
Sketch Club 2: Bentley
Here at the Umea Institute of Design we started a sketch club last year which allowed us to take a break from any current projects and sketch for fun. This time around the theme was Bentley, and with the debut of the Mulsanne we thought it would be cool to try our hand at the english premium brand. Hopefully I’ll render one of these sketches, I had alot of fun sketching these.
Sketch Club: Two Wheels
Here was the first Sketch Club of the year, the theme was anything with two wheels.
