Sketchbook Drop For April 14th, 2013
So it’s been a minute since I did a sketchbook drop, more like months, but I am back with one! With tomorrow being Marathon Monday, I couldn’t help but start sketching a new running shoe. One thing that has been on my mind as of late is why have we not seen a Nike Free ...
Sketchbook Drop For November 11th, 2012
What’s up everyone? Let me start off by saying I apologize for my recent hiatus. October was a hell of a month. Lots of traveling, made a new portfolio, helped get the #SDMR Podcast off the ground, did a few teaching events and a lot of freelance which all led to me not being able ...
Sketchbook Drop For September 21st, 2012
I had fully planned for this weeks sketchbook drop to be the final rendering of last weeks DARPA inspired S3 sketchbook drop but instead it is the refinement sketches for the project. As I began to create the digital rendering for my design I just wasn’t satisfied with the proportion and placement of the podded ...
Sketchbook Drop For September 13th, 2012
Early this week in my Daily Dope series I put a link to DARPA’s four-legged robot the LS3 (Legged Squad Support System), along with the link I also mentioned how this may drive the inspiration for this week’s sketchbook drop and let me now tell you, it most definitely did. Let me first say that I have ...
Sketchbook Drop For September 6th, 2012
Last week I gave you a look at how I am starting my Air Jordan 2013 project by trying to capture the emotion of Michael’s movements through gesture watercolor paintings. This week I am continuing on that theme but I took to a digital level. As I develop the aesthetic story for this shoe I ...

Sketchbook Drop For August 23rd, 2012
This group of sketches is from my spring 2009 sketchbook, which seems so recent to me but these sketches make it seem so long ago. These sketches are three separate ideas that I never knew what to do with. Its not that they are bad ideas but I just didn’t know where to take them at the ...
Sketchbook Drop For August 16th, 2012 (A Preview of the Philosophy Of FlyKnit)
What you are viewing here is the reason why I have yet to deliver Part 3 in my Form, Function & Philosophy of the FlyKnit Trainer. As I began to write Part 3 I started discussing what I felt the future could be for FlyKnit and if you recall in Part 2 the Function, I described why I ...
Sketchbook Drop For August 10th, 2012
So I felt pretty bad I that didn’t get the third part in my series Form, Function & Philosophy of the FlyKnit Trainer to you by the weekend so for this weeks sketchbook drop I chose to give you two projects! On the real though, I am sorry I didn’t keep to my word and give ...
Sketchbook Drop For August 2nd, 2012
If you followed my Design Insight series over at CounterKicks this sketchbook drop may be familiar to you. This was a little project I was working on last Winter/Spring of 2011. I have always been inspired by Herman Miller and their products, in particular the Aeron chair and in this instance the Sayl by Yves Behar. The ...
