So last year I dropped the ball on my Christmas card. It was the first time in years that I didn't produce something worthy of public consumption and it's been buggin me ever since.
This year will be different.
I've started early and I'm feeling good about it. Already have the setting and the car picked out and sketching has begun in earnest. I'm going to try to keep updating this blog with snippets of my work progress until the final card is ready in early December.
As you can see from the sketches, I've chosen a 1955 Jaguar D-type longnose (Le Mans winner) as the car. The location will be unveiled in my next post.
Stop back often for updates!
Check out Carl Alviani's article about it on Core77, and I'll be putting up my impressions soon.
Autodesk sent out a press release yesterday about all the love it's getting in the Mac community, and guess what? They quoted me. As "a creator of iconic technical illustrations"
Nice. Thanks Autodesk.

I've been a beta-testing Autodesk's Sketchbook Pro for years now (since version 2), so I'm really excited to see the new version (2010) is getting released soon. Sketchbook is a lightweight, fast, digital sketching software that I use every day in my workflow. If you've never tried it, you owe it to yourself to download the free trial here.
There's also a great article outlining some of the new features coming out in the 2010 release on Autodesk's AREA. The ellipse and rulers have changed my life.
This is really a great product that not a lot of artists and designers know about, and that's a shame. So check it out. It's cheap, it's great, and you'll never go back to sketching in Photoshop.

I recently created this vector illustration of a Porsche 356 split-windscreen "pre-A" for Klasse 356, a parts supplier for owners of these lovely cars.
