By the time I’d completed and polished up the design for the AARC X-3 Rocketplane, I had fallen in love. I wanted to add just one more illustration to tie a bow on the project: a cutaway drawing! The diagram is colour-coded by…
The AARC X-3 Experimental Rocketplane is the product of a fun little project I embarked on this summer. I wanted to take a design from inception to final polish using the collective wisdom of my social network – soliciting comments on Facebook, Instagram and Reddit…
In 2017, I made a resolution to create and publish a sketch on Instagram every day. The new year dawned with a yearning to be more creatively nimble: for a number of years I’ve been juggling a full-time job with a steady flow of freelance…

During my trip to North Korea in March, I brought along a sketchbook and tried to draw what I saw. Aboard the Air Koryo flight from Beijing to Pyongyang: Contrary to what many other travellers report about flying on rickety soviet-era jets, our plane…
