Here’s an Inkscape drawing I completed today:

I am moving my art & design work over to my world design blog and won’t cross-post stuff here much anymore.

IronPort Lego Logo

As promised, here is the other cool thing IronPort did with Lego bricks:

The little sign reads:

IronPort 3D Logo 2007

Built by New York-based artist Nathan Sawaya in the IronPort booth during the 2007 Interhop event in Las vegas, this Lego exhibit was awarded “Most Ludicrous Promotion” by Smart Exhibits magazine.

More about the artist: Nathan Sawaya creates awe-inspiring works out of the most unlikely things. His recent North American museum tours feature large-scale sculptures using only Lego bricks. www.brickartist.com.

No Legos were harmed in the making of this piece.

42″ x 42″ x 60″

This sculpture now stands in the lobby of the IronPort HQ in San Bruno.

I stumbled across some of my old drawings and thought I’d post them – I made these 16 years ago, when I was still in High School:

It’s actually kind of sad that I didn’t draw much in all those years – had I kept practicing since 1992 I may actually be able to draw relatively well today. Amazing how time flies. That’s life, I guess.

My first contribution to the “FAIL”-Meme:

I seriously can’t say how he managed to fail to figure out there’s train tracks at a train station. . Not the best “Fail” picture ever, but hey, it’s a start. Besides… I am bored.

CD Cover Game

Saw the CD Cover Game on Pedro’s blog. I thought it was a good idea for some quick fun, but it turns out I had to modify the rules: Most of the images Flickr returned were “All rights reserved” or “No derivative works”. So I simply took the first image that I was allowed to use:
