Futuristc Standing Motorcycle Concept Design

August 28, 2008 from Francisco's blog

A college student has come up with the concept for a motorcycle that is upright and you wear as sort of an exoskeleton. It's so freaking cool!! I can't wait to see it move from concept to reality. Check out the video to see an animation of it in action.

The transportation program at the Art Center College of Design has produced legendary car designers, including BMW chief of design Chris Bangle and Henrik Fisker, the creator of the Fisker Karma electric supercar. But this year, after professor Bumsuk Lim’s inaugural motorcycle-design class, the buzz is all about bikes, especially Jake Loniak’s exoskeleton motorcycle concept Deus Ex Machina.

Here it leans forward like the motorcycle in Tron.

Photoshop Tutorial: Michael Jackson Wallpaper
Last week we lost Michael Jackson, a true legend and without any doubt, an inspiration to a whole generation. I grew up listening to his songs and of course, was amazed by his movie clips and dance moves. The moonwalk was something I always wanted to learn how to do and even today, it still impresses me. Also the light effects were always part of the Michael Jackson's repertoire and of course, have influenced a lot in my style. In this tutorial I will show you how I created the wallpaper in tribute to the king of pop.
