Yes. I'm finally dusting this place off...

No doubt, I've been slacking hard here. But that's not to say I've been idle in general. Sometimes you get burnt out with what you do and need to step away. Since posting back in January I've enjoyed my Spring & Summer with some trips, cruises with car clubs and fixing said cars, and taking photos.

So while the blog will see some new posts more often now I'll be rebuilding my galleries to better present the work I do. No more just tossing up almost anything. I'll be doing the choice cuts only now so that it's lighter and tighter.

First time in NYC...

My very first visit was beyond overwhelming (Times Square) and incredible (Top of the Rock). Went down with my girlfriend, who had been before years ago and met up with my friend, Andy Devlin, who had a break between doing shoots for the Syfy channel. Took lots of photos and video and compiled them into a video.

Where's all the updates?

Been so busy since after christmas with freelance I've barely played some of the games I got for it. Designing a site for a friend, promotional photos, logos, book covers, icons. Good start to the year!

I'll post up some work later.

Time to update...

I was thinking to myself today that I haven't updated my site in a while and it's about time I trim it down to just the good stuff and then leave a section to whatever stuff I've done/did for fun. Right now it's just a mix of it all.

Now. Should I just blast everything away and start fresh or try to tweak the current design?

The best camera is the one you have on you...

Took this with my Droid X2 while at a local pond with my girlfriend. Pretty impressive for a camera phone.

Approval...

So the design below (used on the cup and a license plate) was approved. Here are some other logos I had made when redesigning the original.

 

Animal haus

Mock up tin cup with artwork by yours truly. Not yet approved.

Little retreat...

Went up to North Conway, NH with my girlfriend and her coworkers to a lodge they had. Despite the foliage being well past peak there was still some amazing views. I'll have some desktop wallpaper ready versions later.

Gnomes..

Just some gnomes theme after Octoberfest, Leprechaun and Christmas for See Rock City.

One Sweet World...

I recently did some concepts for Chocolate World in Hershey, PA using their branding and some keywords. The idea was to have fun with the designs and make up some copy using words like "Yum" and "Smile".
