Maker Faire 2009

Posted on May 29th, 2009 by James Provost

This weekend I’m headed to San Francisco for Maker Faire, the world’s largest DIY arts & technology festival. Looking forward to seeing Bre Pettis & MakerBot and Jared Boone & the Make:TV crew and their Episode Dispensor, both projects I helped out with some design & illustration work.

Hope to meet a lot of people, learn a thing or two, and get my hands dirty!

Process: Architectural Illustration

Posted on May 4th, 2009 by James Provost


I put together this video showing my process for creating an illustration for Open Mind Magazine, reducing 15 hours of work to about two minutes. The illustration deals with Building Information Modeling (BIM), the new generation of CAD software that lets architects design the entirety of a building in one workflow.

See the final architectural illustration.
