Tallahassee Police Department
One of my pride and joys:
This emblem of our local heroes and watchful stewards
adorns the sides of over 350 patrol vehicles in the Tallahassee area.
Took two weeks to complete and was made into a vehicle decal.
The current rendition on new department graphics has the badge
six inches tall and in black on a silver reflective back.

Artistic Stylings and Interests:

    My design direct includes influences from early to mid 20th century.
    Victorian Industrial Revolution, Early century Russian Constructivism, Depression-Era Art-Deco,
    Pre and Post WWII design. 1950's Googie influences and Atomic Age design.

    Design influences can be summed up in the Steampunk and Dieselpunk movements.


    My design interests are more practical and less fantasy-based: Household goods, architecture,
    mechanical, type and sign oriented.

3-D Design       MY 3-D / CAD / Solid Modeling Design Work

Here are some renderings from my recent introduction into the world of 3-D design.
The programs I've been training in includes: Google SketchUp, Autodesk 3DS Max, and Moment of Inspiration (Moi3D), working with both NURBS and n-GON formats. I will consider training in parametric industrial design applications such as SolidWorks and Catia
Final rendering is done with VRay and Kerkythea, with minor Adobe PhotoShop touch-ups.
