Here is one of my sculptures from almost 20 years ago. I was inspired by a public parks lawnmower that had multiple blades for cutting grass in the form of wings that could be raised and lowered for cutting or for driving/transit. I conceived of this 'flying dog' as an airfloil that could allow for vertical takeoff and landing. The forward sweep of the wings was from a WWII German Heinkel 162 D Jetfighter design and the Junkers Ju 182 jet bomber.

I think it's cool how some of my design concepts are making it into modern user culture. I'm not taking credit for the concepts but rather the unique combinations and thought process that goes into my design.
