World’s Largest Business Card (”9-Figure Sports Homage” mural unveiled)

Friday, November 13th, 2009

So happy to have finished my latest big mural project this fall, working around and through a few “weather events”. I call this “9-Figure Sports Homage”. Recognize anyone?

I got back to the city last week and made sure to take some overlapping close-ups of the “9-Figure Sports Homage” mural, so you can a [...]

Everybody needs as much help as they can get.

Friday, February 13th, 2009

Hello Friends:
Just for fun, thought I would lean on comments as a central motif for this post.
I know darn well you are out there, Google tells us that www.skyaak.com is getting on average about 160 unique visitors per day.
And my old Web-Master said there was nothing we could (really) do to increase traffic flow.
Way back [...]

Elizabeth Gilbert on the idea of “Creative Genius”

Thursday, February 12th, 2009

A couple days ago a Twitter friend turned me on to Elizabeth Gilbert and her take on the modern idea of ‘genius’.
In case you haven’t already heard,  Elizabeth Baxter has unleashed a monster new bestseller on the world called “Eat, Pray, Love.”
Without going into the sordid details, she points to the unrealistically high expectations that [...]

Annular (Ring) Wing Rocket!

Friday, January 30th, 2009

I was snooping around in some interesting Google Groups this morning and found a really neat post by a guy named Peter Khor.
Peter has gone ahead and rigged up a rocket engine attached to the inside of  the front wing of an ‘annular’ (means closed or ring wing) wing model.
This is my kind of fun!
I [...]

Aircraft Collector Cards

Thursday, January 29th, 2009

A couple of years ago I found a collection of Aircraft Collector Cards at a local Buy and Sell shop.
There were 13 cards, about 6.5  inches square.
I immediately decided that I must have them and put down a deposit.
About a week later I scooped them up and promptly photographed them.
As a SPECIAL FEATURE I am [...]

Skyaak a Javelin-Ring-Wing hybrid design

Saturday, January 24th, 2009

Skyaak has been described as a cross between a javelin and a Frisbee. The ‘javelin’ part I agree with, the ‘Frisbee’ not so much.
Truth is,  Skyaak is NOTHING LIKE A FRISBEE. The Frisbee glides laterally through the air, while Skyaak glides as a ring-wing that presents a circular air-foil perpendicular to the air.
