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 go against the vote and pick the wood theme.  I actually changed the entire layout, basically only keeping the wood background.  I’m still gonna tweak some stuff here and there, but I like it enough to make it the default.  I’m gonna be playing with the colors some too.  They feel a [...]

I made a small mention to it earlier, but I’ve been working on designing a new blog theme from scratch.  I’ve got two that I’ve made now, and I can’t decide which one I like more, or if I even like the more than the one I already have.  This is where you come in! Take [...]

Tags I went through all my previous blogs and updated the “Tags”.  I minimized all the tag clutter and applied only the most appropriate and reoccurring tags to each post.  Now the site will be easier to navigate between related posts.  To see what I mean, select a tag from the “Tag Cloud” on the right [...]

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 [...]

I’ve been working on a Alice in Wonderland themed poster lately.  Nothing’s ever “finished”, but this is as close as this one will get.  Maybe I will revisit it another day.  This is done mainly in Photoshop.  I did some of the grass and tall tree/leaf type things in Illustrator, then imported them into Photoshop.  [...]
