I was checking out Japanese artisan made motorcycle gloves yesterday, these from Caca-Zan caught my eye.

This car is a great creation, a 1922 GN with aircraft cylinders shoehorned onto an automotive bottom end.  There really are not any great images of this car on the web,  though it deserves a real photo shoot. You can search “Thunderbug” on youtube and see some videos, but the quality on those is not great either.  Think about owning a vehicle like this!  Very ridiculous and fun.

See shipping container architecture anywhere? I hate to break it to the architects, but it was my idea first. Well, at least,  I did this project back in 2003.  This was a school project, for a class called space analysis… the class was concerned with the organization of space,  not architecture.  I kind of wish that if I was going to have spent this much time on an architectural model, the design had been more practical and feasible.  This would be more solar oven than beach house. Pretty model though!

All of the product design that I was doing at the time was utilizing found form.  What interested me was, could I apply the found form concepts I was working with to architecture? I saw an example of that use from the design team Lot-ek. They did a project here in NYC in 1996/1997… though I have not been able to find photos of it. I think it has since been torn down.

Thanks to Jed Heuer, the excellent art director/typeographer/graphic designer, Brooklyn Motorized has a logo, which we are working on turning into an enameled side-badge.
