Chair, page 2 of 2 - Next, I began making many small scale models in many different materials.
The final piece is seen on the right.
Lamp - Preliminary sketches, concept development, and final product. Lamp was made of sand cast aluminum base and frosted glass dome. Dome was removable. A total of 3 different colored domes (white, red, and teal) were packaged with this product.
Marker Renderings - Remember when there was no 3D rendering, and it was all done by hand? Me too. The top 2 and the bottom middle images are of my own designs. The bottom right and left are studies from "Creative Marker Techniques."
