Opposition is my first outdoor work. It is constructed from wooden railroad ties and steel that I cut from scrap

Spire was my first class project focused on manipulation of steel. I fabricated this sculpture in the metal shop- metal saws, vice, mig welder, bolt cutters and a big ol hammer. Steel is definitely a cool medium, I will partake in the future. I’ve got some cool teachers here. NJD

After a break from posting I’m back. I have been creating artwork during my word press black out and have a lot to update. Thanks for coming back!
More to come on this concept art. In the theatre of conflict, even an out matched and overran foe can even the odds through cunning and raw firepower.

This is a glimpse of the near future. Everything will be automated.
The assault will be lead with drones with a few stealths overseeing the attack.
Maybe your local police will fly these, or a private security contractor.
I added a thrust vectoring nozzle to replace the tail rotor and imply advanced
helicopter aerobatics.Perhaps it has a mind of its own, we’ll just have to see.

I am working on a story that has multiplied into a trilogy which has now developed into a tetralogy. I have named this arching story Bad Element.
The definition of crowd funding is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crowd_funding
I want to take my concept art and create a graphic novel and eventually a create a film and possibly a video game. In the end this would be great to turn into a web comic too. Tell your friends!

Big thanks to my client and new friend Christoph Petry for the commission of this work and for approaching me for this project. It was really cool taking your ideas, adding mine and creating these planes. Sie rocken Mann!
-Hypersonic aircraft from the future- designed with scram jet technology these bombers are self-powered and can dash at Mach 10. Based on real technology in development.
US bomber is a multi mission designed to perform hypersonic strikes and conventional bomber missions. The Russian Aircraft is more of a space plane, designed for delivery of nuclear weapons and suborbital flight.

This is a heavy aircraft designed to supply fuel, fire power, cargo and intel. It is a Spec Ops gunship, cargo, and tanker- all in one. Similar to the Harvest Hawk KC-130J concept by the US Marines. The gunship is between a C-130 and a A400M in size. This plane features a double wing for long range missions and a larger amount of fuel to offload for IFR. The Forewing features multiple hardpoints for munitions, accepting cruisemissles, smart bombs etc. The Aft Wing features two refueling pods, and several additional hardpoints. The main weapons are the side mounted cannons. Like the AC-47 Spooky/ AC-130 Spectre gunship’s this is a cheap way to rain down heavy firepower, with precision strike, on ground targets. A heavy cannon and a gattling autocannon is sported on each side of the craft, which enables it to fly a circuit of destruction in any direction. The larger cannon is a 120mm designed to destroy ships and buildings, and large crowds, where the smaller 25 mm autocannon is usually used for everything else. Though primarily used in lower tech battlespaces, the canted tail stabs and other features reduce radar signature to an acceptable levels of risk-until its stealthy replacement is fielded.

This is the Future Close Air Support attack aircraft. I designed this as the future replacement of the A-10. Yes, in a way this is a tribute to the A-10-it’s a beast and I loved working on that monster.
The A-10 has seen success in a CAS role in today’s conflicts, and it could be the best at what it does. However, it is getting old and a replacement is needed. I have read alot about close air support and I have tried to keep the advantages of the A-10 but also improve upon the design.
You may be familiar with the O/A-10, a two seat night strike variant that never made it out of the trial stage, this concept is the next evolutionary step of that animal. This creation’s cannon, much like the A-10’s GAU-8 Avenger, is its main weapon. I imagined a 40mm projectile, 4 barreled autocannon- with a high rate of fire in very small bursts. The second man/woman in the cockpit could do any number of duties as seen in other 2-man ships-like the F-15 strike eagle, etc. The engines would have increased efficiency yet able to produce enough power to make 600 mph+ dashes when needed. But this plane is designed to fly low and slow- and to take a beating and keep going-just like her predecessor.
And, it was fun to make too.
