Conair, very thin hatch drawings (1986)

These two drawings, made in the mid-1980s, explore an imagined propulsion system and a fictional event following a crash landing on an unknown planet.

The upper sketch shows a conceptual flying object propelled by electromagnetic forces. Horizontal movement is controlled from three external points, while a central vertical unit regulates lift. The configuration suggests a coordinated balance of directional control and central stability—a kind of vector-managed flight.

The lower image depicts the aftermath of an unsuccessful landing: a large craft lies embedded in rugged terrain. Despite the impact, survivors have begun to emerge from the structure, descending to the surface to begin exploration.

These drawings, created with a Staedtler Mars Matic 700 pen in very thin hatch style, were part of a broader visual inquiry into movement, collapse, and human adaptation in speculative settings.
