The Wall.

A few months ago a friend of mine mentioned this website to me SIMKOM.com. I checked it out and immediately fell in love...The work that was posted on the site was inspiring. Really fun to see so many different  sketch styles and designs. In December 2011, I contacted the Website owner (marek) to see if any of my work was worthy to be added to the wall....about 3 weeks later and a couple of emails...Marek emailed me letting me know that some of my work was up... The work is definitely not the standard context that you usually see on the site, but its different which i like, for he acknowledged custom automotive design :)

Just an idea....

 A very well known magazine  approached GAS to create and build a corporate vehicle using a 2012 Honda pilot as the base...Usually when i design i like to start out wild and cool as possible just so i can get an idea of our directions..It allows for pulling back and watering down the concept to a more tangible concept....So this was an idea that i'm pretty sure wont ever happen, but it s just a fun idea :) Will post the finished vehicle in the upcoming months.

so so.

woah woah.

Bringing out my German side....

Just some sketch renderings... Getting back in touch with conceptualizing..

MINTY FRESH Z.

Every now and again i come across a car with a personality that gets my attention in way that i become inspired to interpret the way i see it in the form of a caricature....Minty Freshz is one of those cars....I started the drawing 2 months ago, but do the chaos of SEMA i had this lil piece of work on the back burner along with many others....Now with SEMA said and done, I was able to complete this piece tonite :) Feels good to get back to my own lil projects  :)

The inspiration........and the car.

THAT TIME OF YEAR again...SEMA 2011

Ever since i started Galpin Auto Sports almost 3 years ago, I ve gotten the opportunity to contribute my design and rendering skills to help G.A.S. out do themselves each SEMA show ....We are a custom shop that strives for progression and being on the forefront of trends in the custom/ aftermarket culture. This year   is no different, I believe we have once again stepped it up a level, especially with 18 cars going this year!

Here are some renderings of some cars we have going...enjoy

my pride and joy 2012 Ford Focus ATK concept

XGAMES 17 charity hood.

The Concept

The Final Product

Luis's Sick Airbrush Skills

Hung up in Xgames booth For many to see

Interviewed about the concept of the hood.

Bryan Deegan: one of many athletes to sign the hood

I literally chased down Ryan sheckler to have him sign our hood  

The hood became an attraction at the auction, serving as a nice backdrop for photos :)

Luis and I awkward handshake for a job well done...look at all the athletes that stepped up :)

At the end of July GAS was commissioned to create a custom painted hood that would be auctioned off at the commencement of XGAMES 17...We only had a week total for the project, 2 of those days for design and the rest for painting...Luis (GAS painter) and I were definitely tested when it came to creating on the spot...For both of us had already alot on our plate at the the time. All i can say, that it was fun collaborating with Luis both bringing our own unique styles together to create one nice piece of art!
