London Machine Shop

The story in 140 characters:
Engineer comes home and builds robots for his small town in a backdrop of alternative fashion, crazy haircuts, and a fledgling punk movement. 

I was listening to The Clash and thought of an alternative 70s punk movement setting with robots in it.

SKAZKA

Here's an old project based on Russian folklore. I grew up reading a lot of Eastern European mythology and this is my take on it :)

Manila Jeepney Punk

In the near future Manila is heavily damaged by a flood and earthquake. Roads are inoperable and the government has deemed infrastructure UNDER CONSTRUCTION for an indefinite period of time. But the citizens know how that goes. Life must go on. And for the Filipino masses, that means finding discarded junk and new technology, and putting things together to be able to get around the city and their daily lives. 

I also just wanted to make something Filipino culture-related since I was really homesick towards the end of my stay in SG.

Home on the Long Range

~Just some characters and the barn hideout design for this project inspired by Annie Oakley. Annie is a young orphan gifted with remarkable marksmanship abilities. Aided by Patches (a mule who thinks he’s a dog) and Porky (a lazy old Border Collie), they protect their homestead farm from thieves and outlaws. Story and characters are all my own.
