Robotic Hands

I'm still grinding gears with Andy Foster at Motor Trend magazine, and lovin' it. The Technologue column is at the front of the magazine, and highlights mechanical topics within the automotive world. My Father was a civil engineer who impressed upon me an armchair appreciation of machines. Doing illustrations of the workings in engines is an interesting challenge. My images are definitely not the noble diagrams of engine manuals, but a playful riff on the subjects.
We're talking about variable combustion ratios, VCR, not old tapes. This is pretty amazing technology that increases an engine's capabilities while greatly impacting it's fuel consumption on the fly.

Here is the Memorial Day cover for Dan's Papers here in the Hamptons.


The art director at Motor Trend, Andy Foster, is easy to work with. There is also a regular column at the start of the magazine titled "Technologue". It addresses current technological developments in the automotive world. As an armchair gearhead I quite enjoy the challenge. This ones about planetary gears.
Here is today new painting for the gallery show I'm having this summer.
