I finished another poster!  This one was just for fun.  I did it over a week, while at work.  It’s not nearly as cool as “Velvet Hand“, or “Who Are You?“, but I like it!  I think I need to finally pony up some cash and get some of my posters printed.  Anyway, take a [...]

Over the past couple years I have been accumulating and stock piling as many random links about Web Design, Graphic Design, CSS, HTML, Business, Marketing, and whatever else I came across.  I’ve been collecting them with the mentality of “I’ll read these someday…”.  I’ve been neglecting quite a few of them, simply because I had [...]

I’m a big fan of the artwork style of Lewis Carroll’s “Alice In Wonderland”.  I was inspired to do a Alice in Wonderland poster once before, which I titled, “Who Are You?“  I really like the modern look of “Vector Art”, which I have been doing for years, but really started focusing on it about [...]

Ever since the Wild first dropped the puck in 2000, I’ve always been confused about what exactly their logo is.  What is a “Wild”?  Maybe it has to do with the vast wilderness of Minnesota?  That works, I guess.  But then what is that weird animal represented in the logo?  It looks like some sort [...]

I decided to throw together a small collection of some artwork I’ve done recently.  A lot of these are done for the fun of it/practice.  Also, quite a few were done simply to test a idea that I might later use.  It’s all about easing the boredom and having a little fun so try not [...]

Last week was the 8 year anniversary of Digital Avenue.  It came and went and I didn’t even notice.  It seems crazy that I’ve now owned Digital Avenue for 8 whole years.  That’s 96 months, or 2922 days.  Even after all this time, I feel like Digital Avenue is really on the brink of reaching [...]
