Three wheeled motorcycle

I'm at a sort of benchmark for my current project in my transportation design class. These are some side views that lead up to the start of my final colored model for this semester. This is an ongoing design process and these were a few overlays I did adjusting certain parts of my design to arrive at my current benchmark, seen at the bottom.

The class is taught by Ben Hopson and really is amazing so far.

I'll get some more views up later but it's basically a motorcycle with two wheels up front for added stability and coolness.

Problems with Education

I had a lot of trouble in school growing up.  Being "educated" the standard way just really didn't work for me and I got in trouble a lot because of it.  This is pretty interesting to hear and I hope something could even be done about it.

Cross Country Snowboarding

"This is an outsider sport, and.. it's an outside sport of an outside sport, snowboarding. Plus, we're doing it ouside. That's a triple entendre there bro!"


awesome!

Brooklyn Banks... Death Row

So the Brooklyn Banks is closing in December apparently...  When I first heard about this I sort of wrote it off thinking, nobody could take this spot away!  But it's happening, so that the brooklyn bridge can be beautified, or gentrified, or modified, it's pretty shitty.  The city needs space, and generally nobody cares about skateboarders, so lets take their place!  They should take that dumb tai chi matt or whatever the hell it is up top.

There has been a lot of history at the banks, but none important to the city.  And again more quotes from douche-bags who think they understand skateboarders and their "Rebel" image.  

"The Downtown Express reports that Una Perkins, a board member, said she was worried that the unsupervised teens were running across the Brooklyn Bridge ramps and could get hurt and John Fratta, chairperson of the board’s Seaport/Civic Center Committee, added the skateboarders were “way out of control.”"

Yup, those damn skateboarders running around on the bridge on ramps... definately out of control!!

Idiots should know the on-ramp ollie section of the bridge was closed LONG ago.  That doesn't even happen anymore!

Gotta love Saber...

Artful Skateboarding

For real, this, is some artsy shit.  Thanks DVS. 

check out the obstacles, very sculptural and very cool.

Sexy ladies

Every once in a while... you just need to draw one.  An homage to creepy over sexed sci-fi/anime/comic book drawings.

Tricycle drawing

No name for this yet, but this is my vehicle in traffic.  I'm trying to get everything dialed in for my next model right now.

100 Posts, and a tricycle.

This is the 100th post of Kinesis, bitchin!

on another note, this is the current progress of my motorcycle concept for my transportation class!  It's a leaning tricycle, which will obviously be much wider than a 2 wheeled cycle, but will ultimately be more stable.  

Colour Lovers Blog

I Recently came across this blog, Colour Lovers and I'm really blown away.  I have so much trouble with finding interesting color combinations.  I really need to spend more time studying color and getting it down properly.  This is going to be a huge help to me and hopefully I can get a better grasp for how to make a proper color scheme in the future.

Good Visuals

Insight as to why I am the way that I am..

I feel like the toys we play with as a kid probably shape a lot of how we will turn out as "adults."  Toys I remember vividly are Food Fighters (seen above) and Monsters in my Pocket

I'm not really sure what it all means, or why I relate the two lines.  But I guess they are similar in their lack of functionality, popularity, over the top sculpts, and collectibility.  So strange...

In addition to these to I did collect Swamp Thing and Bucky O'Hare but i'll save those topics for a later post..

I was always really bothered by the big hands on this one... and the dress.

This guy could hang on things easily..

Through my searches I was able to find Virtual Toy Chest to get all these images... awesome!
