LOVE COULD POSSIBLY BE IN THE AIR THIS MONTH

I must say that today feels like I am officially done with school-I guess because I can actually savor a rainy day and do other activities other than reading or homework; such as finishing a graffiti sketch from over a year ago that I did for my girlfriend….what has become of me?

I am just picking what marker gets into my hand, whatever feels good, whatever works….I am simple-who the hell do I really want to be? Is it even up to me? There is no hiding much when I have realize my talent long ago, back when I use to post my artwork with band-aids in the wall above my bed when I was five.


Perhaps tonight was a revelation of a "true" me? If not, I can at least say that I have become rather more organized within myself, within my element, and ideas. Could it be possible that I had this figure out from a while back? Perhaps my questioning here renders useless, however, I think I am clearly a bit excited here about something good.

In further news-Blak Des.s will undergo its first meeting with the first (possibly founding designers) to form the group which I have long awaited for action. For the mean time, I will ensure privacy to my network collaborative people, since this is still in schematic. Three people are on board, one of which is a CAD guru Interior Designer from SDSU (good friend of mine in case you cannot tell), a graduate from SDSU with a Furniture Design degree, and another providing the artisan expertise in construction; as well rounded furniture maker and designer alike. We are only getting older, and what tat said, I think there is not much time to worry about the economic crisis or other rubbish that can work against us-we are progressive thinkers, this very same nation made us that way….keep that in mind.

PROTOTYPES FOR 2010!











It has been a long time since I have posted anything on here-but I have been busy with more designs on furniture and interning recently at www.OCIOdesigngroup.com-check out their website and work they have done!

I have recently venture into pattern design (something I have wanted to do for a while). I have also designed a few more pieces here and there; some of them a couple of coffee tables, small boxes, a marker holder (just on the spot thing I did), and my biggest piece yet-a sideboard....because I always wanted one of those. I am in the process of teaming up with another guy who is handy at the woodshop and just as dedicated to furniture and construction as I am-hopefully this year some of these pieces can come to life -BD

GOLIATH-ground breaking project



I love furniture and I am not ashamed to say it. This summer will be exciting since in a year I was able to acquired a massive scoop of knowledge and skills that have yet to be applied in a real world setting-then again, who said this built is a joke?

GOLIATH will be a massive seven-foot bookshelf and mass storage unit consisting of a mixture of materials to execute the construction of such a massive piece. So far the idea has progressed into this mixture of materials in order to save wood and lumber use-thus, making the massive piece light, which roughly measures around 7'x3'x3'. ( at left,a model of the project to come).

My method of construction has evolved into a visual effect of light weight holding heavy weight-materials which are being considered are wood, MDF, stainless steel hardware, wood siding, plastic and perhaps the best feature; polycarbonate.

Expected date of completion-August 2009

THE END IS AMONG US-OR ME....

I am graduating this coming May-for my last design project, which I stepped up to the plate to fly solo; has been nothing but an experience of knowing what I am made up-and what I should refine withing myself.
I have done plenty for myself, through this whole tedious completion of this design project I was able to manage time for a design portfolio, in hopes that it will be my entry ticket into the field.

I got nothing-and stepping into the real world as a graduate its quite a naked feeling. Well I suppose as I have my youth, which provides me with energy, endless possibilities of ideas that sometimes don't work and when they do its great. Along with my relentlessness, I suppose I got something going for me.

Here is a small preview of my project for enjoyment.

Welcome

Welcome to my blog! You may have noticed that I have another blog floating around under the address http//blakdesdesign.blogspot.com- I created this account, but I somehow cannot retrieve my login information; therefore, you will not see much happening there-at all.

I am anticipating using this as a networking base for interior design, ideas, and exchange of sources among other designers. I am currently studying interior design at San Diego State University, and I am scheduled to graduate this coming may with a BA in art with emphasis in design. Do sign up, and follow along, I am sure to interest you in a thing or two.
