The one thing that has always interested me in life is how rapidly technology is changing each year, for instants car’s, It is amazing how they came from designing and building steamers which of course is steam-powered cars, then in the early 1900s combustion engines came into the market and today engines are powered by petrol and diesel, for future fuel it’s all changing to Eco friendly fuel (ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY), such as hydrogen, electric and biofuel cars and there is a quote on my future car’s category and it says ‘ even to flying car’s', now that would be actually a miracle if we could build a car that can actually fly, well have to see what the future brings.

Illustration, to me I think illustration is pretty boring to me and it don’t interest me one bit, I have posted some pictures which are relevant to my work not that they interest me at all, but there is an illustrator that I think is OK to my liking, Chuck Cater, I actually like some of his work only because his work looks pretty much like computer graphics.

I love the way John Ross produces his photos, his work is outstanding I’ve never seen anything like it, I’ve only just heard off him a couple weeks ago by a friend and he recommend that I use his work for my blog, apparently he has a multimillion pound studio, no wonder why his work is so brilliant, for example, his photo with the blood all over the body it looks like something out of a horror movie, It’s cool how he’s taken the body away and only focused on the blood which gives the picture a better effect. I got told that the blood is real which to be honest i think is load crap.

Banksy is well known for his art work on the streets, his work became well known in Bristol and then spread on to London. I do love Banksy’s work, it does interest me alot but i reckon he should of just carried on doing his gravity art work on the streets but now he has a museum and you can go and see his work there but I’d prefer it to be on the streets, I just think he’s too commercialised now and plus he get’s paid to do his work now, to me i think he’s lost his reputation.

Photos do interest me alot especially Valpopando’s photos, I don’t really no this photographer at all, I cant find no information on him anywhere, It would be great if I could though, I love the way he captures his photos, I’ve never seen anything like it done before there really amazing and brilliant quality.

Finally wikipedia, wikipedia is a great site to find anything you are looking for, well it doesn’t find everything you want to look for but it is a really useful for information, pictures, articles etc. I find it really useful and easy to use the great thing about wikipedia is that you can actually add information on there yourself.

Future cars (eco friendly)

So, in effect, future cars are here, now! At least most of them are. It’s amazing how many future cars exist today, from hydrogen to electric and biofuel vehicles to even flying cars. It is the intention of the site to cover all sorts of future cars, from those that exist today to the ones that are still on the drawing boards.

Cars Of The Future: Designers Battle It Out January 03, 2007

The Fourth Peugeot Design Competition has just kicked off and people are being invited to choose what they think should make it to the final.

The variety of concept cars on offer is quite stunning and there are 30 to choose from, out of 4,000 submissions. I’m quite partial to the ground hugging E-Motion above although I still can’t see me getting more than 30 metres out of my driveway before crappy local roads ripped that undercarriage right off.

In 2005, the cute and cuddly Movie (see it after the jump) clinched the title so it will be interesting to see if eco-friendly two-seaters, sports cars or family-oriented Transformer-type cars will steal the show.

This is a European creation, designed by Honda R&D Europe in Germany. The powertrain is a Honda IMA 4-cylinder petrol/electric hybrid system driving through a CVT transmission. The Honda “H” sits in front of an aerodynamic grill and tightly crafted body (check how close the wheelarches are to the low rolling resistance 165/60 section tires on 20-inch rims). And notice the lack of rear view mirrors? Rear-facing digital cameras are there to cover your backing-up needs.

Todays cars

For about five years in the middle of the 1970s, Mazda’s rotary engine seemed poised to conquer the automotive world. Small, smooth and powerful, it promised a new generation of faster, cleaner and more efficient cars. Funny how things turned out: Today’s cars are indeed faster, cleaner and more efficient than anyone then could even imagine. But they are all still motivated by the same reciprocating-piston principle that served the automotive pioneers of the 1880s.

The Mini Cooper Convertible, also boasts a cool retro look. But this BMW-built slice of Swinging London is one of the most modern and safest small cars you can buy. With open-air motoring added to one of the sharpest-handling chassis in today’s car market, and new 6-speed automatic for the supercharged Cooper S, the Mini Convertible is maxed out summer fun on four wheels!

Life of Banksy

madmax86 — Fri, 04 Jan 2008 21:41:13 +0000

Banksy started as a freehand graffiti artist in the late 1980s as one of Bristol’s DryBreadZ Crew (DBZ), often assisting writers Kato and Tes. In 1998 he arranged the enormous “Walls On Fire” graffiti jam along with fellow Bristol graffiti legend Inkie on the site of the future “@t Bristol” development.The weekend long event drew artists from all over the UK and Europe and his organisation of the event established his name within the European graffiti scene. By 2000 he had turned to the art of stencilling after realising how much less time it took to complete a “piece”. He claims he changed to stencilling whilst he was hiding from the police under a train carriage, and soon became more widely noticed for his art around Bristol and London.

About MadMax

madmax86 — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 14:40:45 +0000

Hi my name is Max Adams my nickname is MadMax that’s me above as you probably noticed, I’m a student studying graphic design at the University of Wales, Newport, Since at the age of 11, I’ve always been interested in art and design, I think design work is my strongest point is design, My art work is not as good as it used to be. I was diagnosed with leukemia in 2003 and since then i haven’t been able to draw as-well as I use too. My dream is to move to America and work for a graphic agency designing logo’s or anything to do with typography, I really enjoy typography and I like to find interesting fonts that i can use for my projects. Hopefully I will one day have my own business and earn mega bucks, but I’d better put more effort in, cause I’m bit of a bum when I’m at home. Honestly though i do work as best i can to produce good work.

Here are my favourite top 10 magazines that i enjoy to read and look at, the kind of magazines i like to read and look at are car’s, real life, TV magazine’s, comics, graphic magazines and sometimes the occasional computer magazine. Sometimes if there’s a magazine lien around ill probably will look at it for about two seconds just to look at the picture’s or if there’s something interesting to read about.
