Design or steel retractable ball-point pen
Writing instruments have always been and, probably, will always be one of
the most interesting subjects in my design work. I designed a steel pen and my
wife designed a packaging concept for blister pack for it.

Spraying devices using mouth blow of a user. Part-3
Years ago, while working as design manager in one of quite re-known US toy
companies I met with inventor from UK, who invented ingenious device -
"Blo-Pen". His name is Terence Bolton. His personality and his work inspired me
to create a series of similar products for kids. Major difference is that I
dislike using markers as source of inks for spraying as I have never seen
markers produce stable uniform and high quality spraying patterns. I like using
liquid inks for my spraying devices. So, I designed several versions of my own
blow-pens, that is, airbrushes which use air from user's mouth for
spraying.

Cosmetic airbrush patented technology for spraying facial makeup.
A while ago I designed a patented technology for Manhattan-based cosmetic company Temptu, Inc. In short, I designed airbrush system for spraying cosmetic liquids using self-contained cartridge system. This invention was awarded 6 US utility patents and at least one more is currently pending. I designed two systems for Temptu - one that uses external source of air - compressor. Second design is more portable battery-operated unit, which is shown below. It was introduced to consumer market just a month ago.
Designed by Bressler Group, based on patents developed by Gennadi Fedorov

"Double-Click" patented mechanical pencil
Idea for this novelty pencil came up in my mind while I was making a drawing, using a cheap plastic Chinese-made mechanical pencil with so called "side-click led advance system". I needed to erase few lines and realized that small eraser in the back of my pencil was almost gone. This was annoying since I hate to have interruptions during my "creative process". I just thought that instead of having a small and short eraser it could easily accommodate a longer one. There was a room inside pencil for that. But then how to pull eraser out fast and easy? And then I thought of an additional button, which could move eraser out in small increments from the rear of pencil just as button on the pencil in my hands was doing with the graphite led...

Designing writing instruments again.
Back to designing writing instruments! Below are few quick black-and-white sketches of quite non-standard looking pens. They may be a bit too flashy for my taste. A lot depends on the manufacturing - quality of production and proper materials selection.

Day-15; Wednesday-July-1-2015; Writing instruments... again. Sharpie (kind of...) permanent markers
Here I took a swing at SHARPIE markers. Probably, one cannot find too many people in this country (possibly, in most countries), who would not be familiar with Sharpie permanent markers. I decided to make few alterations to their most well known design, without "inventing a new wheel", making sure that Sharpies will still remain

Day-14; Tuesday-June-30-2015; advanced paper construction projects
I would like to present here few paper construction projects which are not just concepts any longer. These are actual paper prototypes. They were designed, developed and prototyped with a help of a friend of mine, Igor Velgach, who lives in Chicago and possess capability to make almost any ordinary material turn into magic in his hands. Without his help it would take me ages to make these ideas a reality. We started thinking of paper construction activity for kids, but ended up making activity for ourselves. Projects came out very beautiful, but way too complex and requiring too much patience, too advanced skills, experience with paper and hands dexterity for average person, not to mention, average American kid.
Layouts of each and every part was done by hand first, then transferred into 2-D CAD drawings, verified, printed to scale, textures hand-painted and assembled.
Armadillo. This prototype has flexible structure. It looks and can "behave" like real animal does.
Crab.
Lobster. Again, lobster's tail is flexible and bends exactly like tail of a real lobster.
Mammoth.
Day-13; Monday-June-29-2015; Wood... again.
Yes, wood project again. I love wood as material. It is natural, good looking and energetic. Different types of wood have different types of energy. But properly treated wood provides people with even stronger energy, often of healing and calming power.
