RSSNik Schulz
As an illustrator who straddles the worlds of art and science, Nik loves to make things and has always appreciated well-drawn instructions. Working on the illustration for the Kite Aerial Photography project was inspirational to him. "I remember thinking how amazingly thorough and well-presented Charles Benton's reference work was. The rig iteself was also a triumph. He had created a product that reflected truly exceptional standards of design, function, and aesthetics, out of materials, as humble as rubber bands and popsicle sticks."
The San Francisco resident continued, "It reinforced the idea that good design doesn't have to be expensive and that, in fact, thet best design makes the most use out of the fewest resurces. To have the opportunity to help illuminate these really clever projects for others is really enjoyable for me."
