Sketchbook Audio

Me and the crew went to the Detroit Autoshow this week (twice) and if there is one major takeaway to mention, its that CES is a far better autoshow than NAIAS. If you followed us on our livestreams via instagram (Sketchbook_Audio) you likely saw, well, everything. And in the 30 minutes it took for me to walk through the entire thing, there wasnt much to see. But, my crew and I found some interesting vehicles and we have some hot takes on what we did see and do. P.s. I set this episode to 18+ because, well, some of us dont have a filter. So, to protect your little ones, just be mindful that we dropped a few curse words and ONE F bomb. Because PG13.

Hello and welcome fellow sketch-bookers. Ryan Sketch here and if you feel like things are looking a little different around here...they are. Anchor.fm, now part of Spotify, has partnered with Riverside to provide our media recording and publishing. I am still learning the ins and outs of it so each week should get a little better. Oddly enough, it uses AI in a way that I am actually OK with and that is to help identify "segments" or topic changes within the video. Pretty cool! It also creates a very accurate transcript for each individual person. Which I guess would help if you are deaf. Anywho, this weeks episode was pretty fun to record. Even behind the scenes we were laughing hysterically and just having a good time deciding which topics to discuss. If you are new to SBA, we discuss basically anything that was designed. Videogames, movies, cars, toys, tech etc. We will try to add more variety with each new episode so, stay tuned! This week, we discuss the following: - 2025 Detroit Auto Show aka NAIAS. Our predictions of what we will see, and what we wont see. - JaGUar's (thats not a typo either and i did not have a seizure whilst typing that) Vision Concept. Wow, uh, you'll have to listen to our review. - 2026 Honda Passport Trailsport (thats a lot of sport, but honda figured out basic, casual off-roading better than Ford, GM, Jeep, Nissan and Mazda) - 2026 Hyundai Palisade. Whoa...this is budget luxury at its finest! - Another round of Nikki's Useless Information - Nintendo R4 concept (and its Scion predecessor) - A videogame about a "genetically-altered Samurai T-Rex and his delinquent son, exploring a post-apocalyptic Tokyo, Japan" . That sounds insane but SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY! P.s. This episode is labled explicit but thats purely because of some colorful language from my crew and I. Whoops. Youve been warned. Lastly, we are in NO WAY sponsored by the following: Lego, Nintendo, Jeep, JaGUar (yupp, still looks baD), Hyundai, Honda, Monster and Redbull, Dodge, or Samsung and Apple. We just happen to like their stuff.

You may have noticed that there are now three people working on this show, and I couldnt be happier about it! James and Nikki will bring their fun car-related stories and passions to the mix, and also offer up fresh opinions and ideas. So, no more listening to just me blabbing about cars and design! That said, we are going to dive deep into a few fun topics for this weeks episode including but not limited to, Charger/Magnum hybrids (James), new Wrangler Willys 4xe special military-themed edition (Ryan), The impending doom for Motortrend and Roadkill (Nikki) and so much more!

There is some very interesting news going around about the Biden Administration potentially reversing or slowing its push for Evie's here in the United States which could have implications the world over. But what does that mean for the automotive market and buyer? Well basically, right now would be the best time to get an EV because dealerships are flooded with stock that nobody wants. Did you know that the KIA Carnival is not really just a minivan? Did you know that it also used to have a totally different name? And did you know that it's actually pretty cool? Last but not least, the Mini Countryman isn't so "mini" anymore but does that mean it doesn't belong in the Mini family anymore? Personally, I think it is a fantastic option for those looking for a compact crossover, but it does stick out like a sore thumb amongst all of the other Mini Cooper vehicles. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sketchbookaudio/message

Well folks, I am back! Its been awhile and I had to do some soul searching, but here I am! Back and better than ever! (Maybe haha). Big shout out to my fans for keeping me going! You all asked for more, so here we go! This is a bit of a Christmas present to you all and me as I was offered the chance to review a really nice dashcam from a brand called Pelsee. The cam is called the P2 Trio, and it features 3 cameras, 5ghz connection, 4k recording (audio and video), voice commands, a GPS (for speed) and a slew of other very nice features. Check out this video to see my full reaction and impressions on the unit. Heres the link to it on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Pelsee-Channel-DashCam-Control-Parking/dp/B0CKR1GMD8 Oh, and I have some new video editing software so its taking me a minute to learn the ins and outs of it. Expect some higher quality videos in the future! And, if you liked this product review, I will try and get some more.

Chicago auto show is going on now, but I was able to score a press/media badge (thanks to this wonderful podcast). Lets talk about everything I saw there, specifically, the EVs! Random thoughts: 1. DMC is bringing the Delorean back as an EV with the help of Italdesign and its coming soon. 2. Jeep has another new 3 row, but its for india and I think its just a rebadged Commander (extended wheelbase Compass) 3. Super Bowl just happened and of course, it had some fun car commercials.

A switch and change of pace from cars for a moment because for awhile, most people in the world have not had the ability to go to movie theaters to catch the latest releases.

President Joe Biden is looking to replace the entire fleet of storm troopers, I mean federal vehicles, with Electric ones built right here in the US! Which vehicles do you think he will choose? A fleet of ridiculously expensive Teslas? Maybe an army of Chevy Bolts...cute little things. Speaking of Tesla, the Model S and Model X FINALLY got refreshed and they look pretty good! Love that Yoke steering wheel. A bunch of new cars were recently revealed including the refreshed mini 2 door and 4 door hardtop and convertible lineup; Hyundai showed off a Tuscon N-Line for Europe (forbidden fruit) and Nissan is poised to show off 2 new vehicles (likely the Pathfinder and Frontier) But ya gotta give a listen to get all the details!

This is going to be a fun episode for everyone, I think. Ive enlisted the help of a good friend of mine, Anthony, to join the show and share his opinions about upcoming movies for 2021, and what the pandemic has done to the movie industry. Covid be DAMNED but 2021 might be a beacon of hope for many. Lastly, because I always talk about cars, Anthony and I will argue about which Batmobile was the best Batmobile, ever. P.s. When both of us are in the same room, our filter's go out the door (but we kept our facemasks on!) and therefore, this episode is listed as explicit.

While the automotive industry is laying low (except, did you see that the Ram 1500 TRX just won Motor Trend's Truck of the Year aware?!), I'm trying to find more content for everyone both through my podcast AND through my youtube channel (see below for links). That said, lets shift gears over to art and what you SHOULD be doing right now. If you are serious about becoming a designer or creative artist of any type, you NEED to be on behance.com and ArtStation.com At both of these sites, you can essentially create a portfolio full of projects that you can share your process/progress and then get feedback from other artists. You can even apply for jobs, right through the site, using an uploaded resume and your portfolio from either site. Lastly, Id certainly appreciate a follow and a like (or two) on my youtube channel which is: https://www.youtube.com/user/that1guyftw On my youtube channel, you will find new vehicle reviews and simple how-to videos for doing quick repairs or upgrades in your car. Everything from chaning air filters to replacing halogen bulbs with LEDs! So go check out Artstation and Behance and get to work on your creativity!

BMW wasted little to no time bringing their (unloved and heavily criticized) big-mouth grilles to more of their lineup, but this time, the M3 and M4 are taking advantage of what I assume is a whole lot of air-intake. VW shows off the second ID model, the ID4 and guess what?! You can reserve one RIGHT NOW for $100.... just not in the gold they showed or in awd... or in a GTi/R variant. Sad face. But on the brightside, its pretty awesome looking and quite potent for something its size. The range is, well, acceptable for right now. Especially consider VW is the brand that recently got slammed for passing too much gas, er, i mean for dumping too many pollutants into the atmosphere. Ah whatever, they are trying to fix it! And frankly, I am on board with the ID4. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/sketchbookaudio/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/sketchbookaudio/support

On this episode of Sketchbook Audio, we take a look at some of the freshest designs from Hundai, Jeep and Nissan Hyundai Tucson's latest design iteration (Gen5) is absolutely stunning. Polarizing at times but fresh and well done. Nissan hits us, after waiting almost 12 years, with a NEW Z-CAR!!! Finally, we can all rest knowing that Nissan is STILL ALIVE and cares about us car enthusiasts. And guess what? you can have it with a stick!! Jeep is back and BIGGER than ever with a fresh take on a classic - the Grand Wagoneer! This thing is monstrous as it sits on a Ram 1500 (DT) chassis/platform. And its price tag will reflect its big, elegant design - upwards of 100k Lastly, Lets talk IDrawCars and covid mask practices. Why? Because i truly care about my listeners.

Today, Sketchbook Audio takes a look back at the art of our past and reflects on the Civil Rights Movement and the artists that came out of it or even lived it. They shared with the world their sense of love and compassion, but sometimes, their sense of fear, hurt, anger, suffering etc. In a dramatic culmination of 400 years (of slavery and persecution), these artists inspired a generation, whom inspired another generation and continue to do so. Yet, here we are in 2020 and although we claim to have equal rights among men and women, black and white, the reality is, thats not true. And we have all seen what cruelties are still plaguing our nation, and the disgusting ways (some) police are treating the good people of this country. So, how do we reflect on that? How do we transcend from the darkness and pain that is discrimination and racism? I suggest we look to the artists of our past, and be the artists of the present and future that continue the mission of inspiring love and compassion for one another. Whatever your skill is, or maybe you haven't quite figured out what that talent or skill is. I hope Sketchbook Audio can ignite in you a fire that burns bright and carries on to do many great things. I wanted to take a moment to give a shout out to some of my favorite fellow artists on Instagram so please give them a follow, or at least check out their work. I'm honored to be friends with some of them, and am always in awe when i see new work go up on their feed. Lastly, how about that BMW 4 series grille? LOVE IT? or HATE IT? I'm on the fence right now, but i give credit where credit is due and to BMW, glad you tried something new. Now we just leave it up to the sales numbers to determine whether or not BMW will keep it the way it is and maybe spread that massive dual-kidney grille to other products, or keep it smaller. Only time will tell. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/sketchbookaudio/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/sketchbookaudio/support

Today is a big day and a very awesome day...EPIC, some might say. Why? Because today I have with me on the show USAF Master Sergeant, Author and friend, D.L. Jennings. Now, that might not be a name you've heard about YET, but trust me, you will. Jennings has already released book one in the Highglades series (its looking to be a trilogy!) and he has just announced his 2nd book in the series, Awaken the Three. This book is available now for pre-order on Amazon.com as well as Barnes and Nobles and it will officially be available in stores on August 11. Jennings shares with us a little bit of his history, his motivations for becoming an author, a bit about the first and second book (SPOILER FREE) and even shares some of his thoughts on where he wants this series to go in the future. I've asked Jennings some interesting questions and you too can ask him some of your own.

Today marked the first day that the Big Three Automakers in Detroit, as well as some other locations, got back to work and started producing cars again. However, though people were rockin and ready to roll some fresh metal down those stamping lines and piece together the vehicles you all are (not) demanding right now, they are doing it at a snails pace. Covid be damned! but thats not stopping the auto industry from at least trying to get things back to normal...whatever that is anymore. But Toyota was apparently wasnt ready to let Covid-19 ruin their monday so they decided to reveal not 1, but 2 new vehicles - the 2021 Venza and Sienna along with each one of their respective trim levels (so really thats like 6 new vehicles). Ford is pushing back pretty much all of their new vehicle release dates (by anywhere from 2-4 months) - they arent the only ones either Dyson revealed their dream-in-a-dumpster car and its not at all what you were thinking it would look like - you know, a vacuum cleaner with 4 wheels?

The 1975 is an amazing band. I just needed to say that. If you havent listened to them, you need to. Whatever music you are in to, im sure they have something that will strike your fancy. So i went to my first VideoGameCon!! DreamHack2020 was lit AF and i loved every minute of it - but i wish i actually competed in something! Did you know PSA merged with FCA? Whats with all of these acronyms anyways? What happened to actual names?! I love the PT Cruiser. IM sure you probably hate it. But thats ok because it prevailed and the DreamCruisers are historical! Lastly, where do you find your inspiration for what ever you are designing? Look out your window? Read a good book? See a fresh movie?

So the age of Cyber-Punk may be upon us and the harbinger of this movement is none other than Elon Musk. But is the Cyber truck "Good Design"? Hear my take on that and also some back story to the Fisker Ocean - a vehicle that promises to be vegan, and good for our planet. Seeing Blue? FCA's parts and tuning arm, MOPAR, is scheduled to reveal a (Blue) Moparized Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. Now, this could be a limited edition model that will, in some way, come with the Mopar Tubular frame doors, or, it could be just Mopar showing us what a wrangler could look like, if you dive deep enough into their parts catalog for the Wrangler.

Wheels - Aston Martin has a new, sexy special edition DBS out called the DBS Superleggera "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" and the wheels ARE EPIC! So lets talk about.... WHEELS! Specifically directional wheels. Ralph Gilles hates 'em, but its a trend thats picking up more and more rapidly as electrification becomes more mainstream Hatchbacks and Hot Hatches - Apparently, and this is news to me, the USA HATES them. Why? Probably because they are too busy sucking down all of the Crossover and SUV bullshit the inudstry keeps shoving down their throats. Well thats fine and all, but lets take a moment to appreciate the oddball BMW X2 as a sporty hatchback, and then remember that we still have the GTI and Golf-R....but its not enough! Oh and, i think Jeep should offer a Compass Trackhawk........ yeah, i said it. Stealth and 3000GT/GTO - these are the twins that made my dreams wet as a young man. And im STILL drooling over them. Active Aero, Active Exhaust, AWD and ALL WHEEL STEERING???? in 1991 (through 1999) Thats bonkers! But good luck finding a GOOD used one with low miles for anything under 30k. OK lets be honest, good luck finding one period in good condition. Side note, Toyota is offering NEW Body parts for the MKIII and MKIV Supras! Yes, you read that right, NEW. As in, fresh off the (Stamping) press, warrantied and everything else that comes with the word NEW from an OEM. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/sketchbookaudio/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/sketchbookaudio/support

Listen, the automotive industry isnt always "Lit" so in the mean time, i need to entertain you all with some reviews on some cars, products, and even architecture I come across in my daily. Thats OK though, right?! Of course it is! because i promise i wont bore you with reviews on the Yugo or the Pinto or anything else as sad as that..... actually, that could be a fun episode - "Top ten WORST/UGLIEST auto designs in history" hmmmm. Next week, be sure to tune in as we dive into our cell phones.... past present and future designs.

Ok so i finally was able to get my buddy Anthony onto the show (hes super important and a busy mo-fo) and he has quite a bit to say about Transformers (toys and movies) and some things to say about the MCU (including End Game - will Ant Man Defeat the Mad Titan by crawling into his buthole????!!!) and the DCU (Which i have a few things to say myself). Then we are going to discuss other things and you are going to love every minute of it! This isnt really design related today, but, its just some of the stuff that inspires me and keeps me going. Hey, YOU! yes you, my fellow listeners... Have you seen Batman Vs. Superman? Did you love or hate it? Either way, id love to know about it!

Nike, along with Puma and Adidas do some pretty bad-ass colabs with other artists, sports teams, automotive companies, etc. I found one recently that just blew me away and needless to say, im smitten by the colors and the tech of the Acronym designed, Air Presto Mid x Acronym. Oh and, while i was in NYC last week, someone tried to blow up St. Patrick's Cathedral!!!!! WTF?! Whats with people trying to blow up something that is essentially a sanctuary and is, by definition, to be a place that DOESNT get attacked? And its such an amazing piece of architecture. Grrrr Lastly, Buick is (possibly) bringing two knew vehicles to the States and im really geeked about one of them. Check out the Sketchbook_Audio Instagram page and follow along !
