Nice cozy looking space Clint.

Great job on the bike, Mike!

The first aspect of a job I did for VW is out, I thought I would share: http://www.hatchillustrations.com/Volkswagen-Technical-Illustration-Posters, http://www.hatchillustrations.com/Volkswagen-Technical-Illustration-Cars - I did all the cars and another artist did the backgrounds on the posters, i...

As far as I know, and it's been a while, the only things that will export clean line art are the high end cad packages and software like Right Hemisphere. I get a lot of cad data from solidworks, view it with edrawings to get my view (as I don't actually have solidworks) and then redraw. I've seen ...

Jim: Illustrator for the lineart, Photoshop for the colors. I thought the drop shadow made it look a little more 'finished', but with fresh eyes, I see what you're saying about the 'sticker' look.

Don: Great point. That adds a lot.

Looks great James!

They're designed to act as vibration dampers - and also have the benefit of reducing the overall weight of the slab. I always find it amazing how much scie...

Hi all, As the board's a little quiet, I thought I'd put up a recent job. Not the most exciting job I've ever done, but there were some 'interesting' aspects... I think it looks wonderful Mike. You did a great job all around. Just one question. There are six parallel gray cylindrical objects in seg...

I have a system that works well for me. I have a 2TB external expansion drive that I back up to every day, keeping 10 copies, the oldest replaced by newest. This runs through a USB3 cable so is pretty fast. I also have an extra 2TB internal hard drive that I back up to every Sunday. I keep 7 copies,...
