Initial concept art for a science fiction project. Created using Rhinoceros 3D software, Bunkspeed rendering, and Photoshop. The Megalopolis is a dystopian, diseased cesspit, run by a corrupt corporate elite. The poor are used by the rich as guinea pigs to advance their technology, which they hope to use to escape the festering reality their world has become.

JOY FANTASTIC
This song always puts me in the best mood! I was lucky enough to see Hudson Mohawke play in Dunedin earlier this year, his plastic, complex, three-dimensional, mind-melting music was insane! Great for gyrating and grinding, twizzling your fingers, forgetting where you are, and becoming matter with energy flowing through it. Well that's what it felt like anyway. Basically he's good. Check out some of his newer stuff too:

The Experience
There was a field, butterflies dancing through the air around everything. The trees began to swirl, ebbing and flowing with visually intense energy. Our traditional notions of quantifying reality ceased to be relevant. Various ways of seeing the world flashed past us in a steady stream, each one seemingly more surreal than the last, but still so representative of reality their its intensity was too great to really comprehend.
A pair of Labradors ran up to us as we lay in the mottled light of breezy branches, veins of life all around us, feeding wood, branches, twigs, stems and leaves. The dogs' boundless energy and passion for the environment and us was so fresh, so invigorating. A black and a gold Labrador, both so happy to play.
We found an old war helmet at the top of a concrete bunker. It was peeling apart like an old leaf. The sun set in a dazzling display of light, white, gold, orange, yellow, violet, so many hues in a spectrum, clouds breezing past, curling out of each other endlessly. The night brought a new vibe with it, and we trekked through suburbia and took a cable car down into the centre of the city.
Walking past its commercial baubles, glamour dripping off the posters, we were surrounded by mannequins crowded with identities for sale. What strange creatures are humans, yet so infinitely complex and interesting a world we inhabit.

Laos
Taken on a trip to the land of Laos, everything was warm, calm, and exotic. The island of Don Det felt like a respite from all the stresses and burdens of the mechanistic, industrial realities of Western society. No paved roads, no cars, no police. Also no doctor, as one of our group discovered. He ended up with kidney stones and had to be taken to hospital in Pakse! But Don Det was basic, beautiful, and was the scene of pure, radiant sunsets almost too dazzling for us to handle. There was not time on this island.
Spaces
Some simple images I made for a paper on Science Fiction, from photos taken in Palmerston North and Wellington (and a model from an Alexander McQueen show). It's always interesting experimenting with symmetry and architectural spaces.
