Round Robins (and Peacocks) - Tricia Flohr
Round robin was a silly character that I doodled some time ago while at a party. Some one suggested a round-robin air hockey tournament and instead of explaining properly what a round-robin-tournament was to a friend who wasn’t sure what it meant… I drew a lot of round birds.
This is potentially going to become part of the album art for my friends’ band ep.
Helmet(Mind Map) - Group Project
I’m currently working in on a helmet design with other students. Our goal is to create an attractive helmet which can be used in the cold weather as well as the warmer months. We’d like to include features such as removable ear flaps, adjustable vents and protective visor. We also want to be sure the make the helmet compatible with night riding, by incorporating some form of reflector. And on top of all that, it has to be attractive enough that the rider will actually ride it. We’ve definitely got our work cut out for us.
Helmet: Ideation Phase - Tricia Flohr
Some sketches that I contributed to the ideation phase of a group project.
Our group has decided to focus on the dedicated cyclist, one who uses a bike as a main method of transportation; during the summer and winter. Our goal is to create an attractive helmet which can be used in the cold weather as well as the warmer months.
Illustrator Portrait(Corset Face) - Tricia Flohr
A self portrait created with Adobe Illustrator; a project for Computer Applications class. It was a good learning experience. I’m think I’m starting to get a hang of this program.

Mistakes happen, collage - Tricia Flohr
This collage uses recycled dried acrylic paint, black enamel, reclaimed vivek & acrylic plastic pieces and black marker.
I collect left over dry paint from my other art projects to use in these types of collages. The plastic pieces are parts of failed or broken plastic projects from SID. Either the plastic was left in the oven too long, or the mold did not create the form desired. Normally these would get thrown out; I found them and now have a large bag of bubbled and twisty plastic bits.
(It’s a very narrow and tall piece, the third image in this set has been cut off, click it to see the full image. )
Grape Girl (Red Wine) - Tricia Flohr
Just a quick doodle, About 1 hour. Pen and Markers.
I haven’t quite decided on a name for this creature with a grape tree for hair.
A project from a Mass Production Class in which we had to research types of wood joinery and construct a box using strong joints and no mechanical fastener. I added a wood burned dragon (an ouroboros to be specific). The box is an interesting combination of design, art and craftsmanship, though I’m not sure I’d call this an industrial design project. However, woodworking is a valuable skill to have.
Oh, and some extra photos, one of some treasure and one of a house plant.
“Even the undead need their nightly caffeine fix”- Tricia Flohr
Do I dare call this design? Yup, I do.
This is an incredibly kitschy (and potentially dangerous) Mug that I made in Solidworks. It was just a quick exercise to practice basic tools. (Not the best quality but it was fun to do.)
Not the best quality of skteching, but these are some water bottle designs I made for my class. It is a water bottle meant to be used with a walker by the elderly, or people with MS, Parkinsons or Arthritis. The handle will improve grip and prevent dropping and the bottle is meant to grip to the walker to improve transportation.
Well here’s an old one….
This is a design project from last year, in which we had to create a cardboard dog house with was able to be packed flat, and easily put together without glue. It also held a 25 pound weight.
(Note: it is now functioning as a cat house in my basement.)
