2-06-09: Websites, websites and more websites!
Here's a bunch of layouts I did for a fantastic company based out of Little Rock, Arkansas called 1011web.com. I used to work with these guys several years ago back in East Tennessee and it's been a joy to be doing design work for them again. Anyhow...here's some screenshots. You'll probably notice they have dummy text on the images. I hand the sites back to these folks who actually put the content in there. Once they are all live and viewable on the web, I'll add them as links in my portfolio.
















And there's actually more, but I thought I'd just toss a few up here for some badly needed updates. Whew....that's a lot of Photoshopping!!!!

2-06-09: New Print-Work

So here's a new logo I made for Little Rock Crate & Basket:



And a print ad (front & back) for Military Systems Group here in Nashville:

11-24-08: I stand.....corrected!
The Adobe Creative Suite 4 is unbelievable. I was dead WRONG. The new Dreamweaver is amazing with lots of new features and tighter CSS integration. Flash had a major overhaul with some crazy new elements for animation. But the new Photoshop is simply off the hook. The ability to import 3D meshes as OBJ files and paint directly ON the model while rotating is crazy. Yeah, you still have to unwrap the model and make your UV coordinates in another application, but it's amazing nonetheless.

The new Photoshop also supports Open GL video card acceleration. Oh yes....so when running in ridiculously high screen resolutions, there is never EVER any delay while painting or using huge brush effects.

So I was wrong. Adobe is still awesome and continues to make top-notch development tools. My bad.

10-06-08: Zbrush Overdose
Wow, I've been in 3D for 2 days and hitting it hard. I almost finished this model of a character I call "Lawlight", but I'm gonna take a break from Zbrush for a few days. I'm starting to see polygons in my sleep. This is the 1st female "realistic" model I've done and I kinda like the way it turned out.

She started out as a simple box in 3DS Max and went from there. No sketches on this one....just kinda made it up as I go. Click the pics for BIG versions.

9-24-08: Print Work & Adobe News
Portfolio has been updated with some print work.

So I saw this earlier. I'm starting to think Adobe is using the "Madden Football release schedule" by trying to get customers to fork over several thousands of dollars each year. They could at LEAST wait two years between Creative Suite releases. Just plain silly. I'm sorry, but as comprehensive and deep that all those applications are, I don't believe there are substantial updates to all the software to merit an upgrade that quick.


9-21-08: Portfolio going up.
LOTS of images to go through. Website stuff is up and sorting through a billion print jobs and illustrations to find some fancy stuff to stick on there. Why is it working on your OWN website is so hard compared to a client's site?

Speaking of sitting and crunching on some work....I'm sure most designers either have the headphones in or keep some tunes blasting in the background. Have you guys heard the new Metallica?!?! Holy crap. This is really solid stuff. It's sounding like some old-school Master of Puppets. I'm highly impressed. Sounds like they finally purged that sorry excuse for music out of their systems from the last album.


9-19-08: Almost finished!
The site got more than a "major overhaul"....it was gutted and started from scratch. What started off as a simple flash movie on this homepage got a little out of control, but I'm pretty happy with the results. Resume is up and now it's pretty much getting a solid portfolio up (which is obviously the most important part).

Now....must....sleep.


9-18-08: Test Phase 1!
PixelShock version 5 is almost complete. Yeah, there is PLENTY of things broken and not working right now, so just hang on. Everything will be rockin' by this weekend.
