#173 A Mclaren Blueprint Pt.III

Another update to what I am doing with the Mclaren Blueprint. This time I am toying with the idea of making it like a technical drawing. I am still looking at doing the camera one which shows where cameras are usually located in racing games but I seem to have hit a dead end with that one at the moment.

This one was done very quickly using the raw ‘blueprint’ outline I got from the internet, if I took this one forward, I would go round the car in Illustrator as per my others:

#171 A Mclaren Blueprint Pt.II

Small update on the Mclaren, it is still a work in progress, and the idea is coming along nicely albeit a bit clunky…

Meanwhile the Mclaren I posted up last time is now my iMac desktop wallpaper.

#170 A Mclaren Blueprint

A quick something that I have done, in preparation for another idea I am working on and have had for a while. Coincidentally, this has become another contender to be put on canvas…

#141 Hello Mr Jones

It was my 21st birthday a few days ago. This is one of the things I received. A Mr Jones Cyclops Special Edition Watch. And what a beautiful thing it is too.

The only way to tell the time on it is by looking where the red circle is in relation to the 12 dots around it. In the day or so of having it on my wrist, I am getting more and more accurate at telling the time with it, but it certainly isn’t no stopwatch! It is a big difference to my old watch, which I should add, I will still use from time to time, mainly in that it fits properly on my wrist unlike my old one which was very loose… and was silver…. and was larger…

In a while, I may write something a bit more constructive about it, or its design or whatever, but what I have written today will be sufficient for the moment.

For those that are interested in more, here is the Mr Jones Watches website: here

Camera Lust

Quick post this time, but I am having a serious case of camera lust after seeing the following camera on Engadget. As you know if you have read any of my previous posts, I am a keen photographer and I do have a strange pull towards all things cameraish, lenses and what not in a similar sort of way some people are with, say, watches for example. It is a classic design made modern. The Leica M7 Edition Hermes. Just look at it, absolutely gorgeous. And this piece of limited edition goodness costs? Almost £9000. I’d like one with orange trim please.
