Sketchbook Audio

Follow up on my journey to San Francisco last week and when I came home, I got to test drive some new mini coopers. Listen to my take on the reimagined mini.

I wish I could bring you all here to San Francisco because not only are the people pretty chill but the design game is HOTTTT! beautiful new, modern and trendy buildings and housing going up....tech industry is booming and the cars here are in some ways rare but sexy!! Check out my Instagram page for some fun pics of my journey and also check out Middlecott Sketchbattle's page on Instagram for pic...

Today is going to be part 1 of a 3 part series where we discuss "Good Design" . Today's episode is a quick fly-by of the topic and we will go more in depth the following weeks.

What do shoes and cars have in common? Well, in the modern world, a lot! And how about the Sydney opera house and it's crazy pavilions? Yeah, we can use that in car design too. Last but not least, #notmyeclipse is trending. But why? And does it even matter?

Let's talk about the jaguar I pace, the Mercedes EQ, the Tesla Model X, furniture, and how I chose to become a car designer

Where is this country going to when Trump cuts trade ties with, well, everyone?! Things that designers draw inspiration from in nature, and Autonomous cars are coming, but is it too soon? Oh and check out Byton, faraday future and Lucid!

Lets talk about good design, how to present your work without being there, subjective vs. Objective art, color theory and then finish up with some FCA updates.

Just a quick overview of FCAs five year plan announced over the last 2 days. You can read the full details (and fact check me) on Allpar.com or Autoblog.com. Tune in each week on Tuesdays and you can now follow SketchbookAudio on Twitter and Instagram Sketchbook_audio

A bitter sweet day where I discuss departing Hilton head South Carolina leaving back to my home in Detroit Michigan as well as gaining some insight on fiahed Chrysler's 5 year plan just announced today and lastly if your prices are still rising what are we going to do about the lack of fuel efficient small vehicles? Do we continue to make small crossovers or do we put our faith in small cars like...

Today's episode, I discuss some odd vehicles on Hilton head island. I've given some history behind them and where they are now. Lastly, I discuss purpose-built and what that means in the automotive industry today and why I think too many automakers are slacking in that division.

Let's talk about recalls- whose to blame and why you must get them fixed ASAP; Would Nick Cage drive the Cullinan? I think so; and the 2018 Honda Civic is the same size as the Accord, but has 2 more flavors (coupe and hatch)

A little bit of whatever is running through my head at the moment. Including, but not limited to, deadpool 2, bad drivers, the F-word and the Toyota C-HR

A brief background of my life and how I became a designer. And then a few pointers on how to keep things moving in your search for that dream design job. It's not going to be an easy path. But hey, nothing good ever comes easy.

Got a chance to spend some quality time in several of Rams latest offerings and holy crap...its true what they said about the 6 hammers. It's like, Thor's hammer, only better. Sorry Mjolnir

Today I talk about the death of the American sedan and what that means for the US. Next, my neighbor has a Tesla model 3 and I LOVE it, but it's missing something; people ask me if fashion goes with cars and I say yes!; lastly, Easter eggs and why Jeep does so well with them.

On today's episode of Sketchbook audio we dive into the Mercedes Maybach Ultimate Luxury Concept, the rumored Mitsubishi Lancer (Crossover??) Revival and what do car designers learn from architecture?

So I woke up this morning absolutely stoked to begin my journey with this podcast thing and while I'm a little nervous, I have a good feeling that this could be something great...or st least a lot of fun for my listeners. I dont have a title yet for the show, still spit ballin some ideas on the wall but hey, some people dont even have a name for their newborn baby until like months after its born....
