GM Wrestles the Trophy Back

Posted on July 15, 2019 by

Designer Night at the Races(TM) presented by Lacks Enterprises.  If there is one constant in the battle for the title of Fastest Design Studio in the East, it is the fact that if you wait long enough the title will revert to GM.  And so went the Spring 2019 evening of Competition, Camaraderie and Charity in Detroit – the 74th event since the original was held in southern California in 2006.  The GM Design Studio is the closest to the track at Kart2Kart, which probably means they practice while the rest of us are working.  But the real winner for the evening was the Zero Prostate Cancer Charity that was the beneficiary of the $820 raised by the designers, sponsors and staff.

My Other Vehicle is Unmanned – Sketchbattle Pro 17 Chicago

Posted on May 15, 2019 by

Over the past 7 years, the Sketchbattle has evolved and grown from a small intimate cocktail party and sketching competition to a significant and critically important stop on the the North American Auto Show circuit.  Except for one event in the fall of 2014 where the “experiment” morphed into a graffiti battle, the previous 16 events were centered and focused on automotive design.  The Sketchbattle Pro event in Chicago as presented by AUVSI as part of the massive Xponential Conference broke with tradition and will go down in history as the first product-design oriented Sketchbattle (many more are coming and are in the midst of their planning stages).
