I do commission art for various clients, as well as host a weekly illustration jam on the TRDL site's message board, the R3 Forum (open to all artists!) So this is a small sampling of the several hundred pieces viewable on the TRDL site...

I'm a bit curious... How did you come up with that interesting name? "Third Rail Design Labs", I mean.

[ Posted by thirdraildesignlab on Jun 16th, 2008 5:16 PM ]... I was in the subway in San Francisco, thinking about the third rail, which is electrified, and provides power to the subway cars. Touch it and die, sure, but metaphorically, the spark of inspiration... Thanks for asking, and checking out my work! t
