Uruguay to Jamaica (with a lot in between)
Other than my racing travels I have done the most traveling Internationally in one year in my life. I normally only get out of the country once or twice a year. 2009 was much more special in the sense that I have been out of the country 4 times with one still to go, visting a total of 7 countries. I plan on reflecting on these travels and what I saw and did in this posting over the next couple weeks.
The countries I visited over the last 10 months are Uruguay, Argentina, Hong Kong, Mainland China, Bahamas and Jamaica. Some of the trips were for work and others were for pleasure. The last place of the year be Mexico.

boundaries and barriers
What defines a boundary? What creates a barrier?
Why are these things in place to keep us safe? To prevent access? What if they were not there?

objects of desire
what do we covet? Why is Louie Vuitton and Ferrari considered so high class: price, marketing, quality (all of the above).
What if LV made garbage bags and Ferrari made dust pans? Would you be able to sell them for $1000? Would they be better than any other garbage bags or dust pans?
Why do we covet products that are based on class and money? Why don't we covet warm days and walking the dog? What have we become, is there a duality?
*An artist actually made a computer rendering of a Louie Vuitton garbage bag and it caused quite a stir on the blogosphere!

space shapes
Ghost space, a frame of what isn't there and what is! The shape space is the expanse it sits in while being true to itself and its surroundings!
stretch?
stretch art, over stretched, stretched out, a big stretch
What cant be stretched? What should be stretched? What would be surprising stretched?
These are the questions, through yoga the body stretches, through music, art and literature the mind stretches! What causes the biggest stretches of body and mind.
What daily objects stretch?

From Art to Design to Art
Since I can remember I have been a artist, just like all my friends and peers who attended art school with. Most of us were the most talented artists in our High School's which lead us a all to career in art or design. Some in fine arts, graphics and illustrations, architecture and industrial design the path that I decided to follow.
I choose ID (industrial design) because I knew that there was a paying job on the other side of school, it Incorporated everything creative thinking, problem solving, drawings, model making and once you graduated the ability to go out and design products for the world. Well that is exactly what I do. I have been out of school since June 2004. I have at least 100 products on the market and many patents as well. The majority of these are in the Animal Product field which is a fun field to work in.
At some point I would love to peruse my own product development for my own company. I still have not figured out what that is or what field it will be in. Since I have graduated I have casually worked on my art and I am beginning to feel a building sensation to dig back into my work. I have had many ideas but nothing that feels polished or professional. 2010 will be the year that I relaunch my artwork and start thinking about what my future in the Industrial Design world will be.
