Thursday, June 2nd, 2011
I had the pleasure of designing one side of a compilation vinyl for my friends over at PRF (The Electrical Audio forum: http://www.electrical.com/)
This is the result.

Wiring Diagrams for light and power
Saturday, April 4th, 2009
I LOVE this book. I believe I received it from Angela Faz years ago… but it continues to be an inspiration. I love that it was on naval vessel and has tons and tons of hand lettered typography. Plus, frankly, I’m just a sucker for diagrams.
Read more about the WWII warship’s travels (chances are, this book was aboard):

BlueCanvas.com
Saturday, April 4th, 2009
Blue Canvas is an online art community that I just discovered. Don’t be fooled by the cheezy web design, there are some top notch artists on the site. In fact, it’s got nice international representation. Out of 10 artists I viewed only 1 was from the US.
Yes, yes, I added myself (and my paintings) to their ranks. You can view my gallery HERE if you want to.
… on a sidenote: I want to be in a band called : ITALIC DRAGON
(inspired by a user from blue canvas)

I LOVE ILLUSTRATION
Friday, February 20th, 2009
So being a full time freelancer, I’m looking at ways of diversifying my income – especially supplementing my large project based paychecks with smaller more frequent paychecks – the trickling stream method, if you will.
So, one of my strategies to create passive income is through the sale of stock illustrations and flash files. There are number of sites that specialize in this sort of submission / payment method. They get paid. You get paid. Clients get high quality work for affordable prices. Everybody wins. Two excellent examples that I plan to participate on are:
www.flashden.net
www.istockphotos.com
Here is my first submission. It only took me a few hours and was so much fun to work on.
I LOVE ILLUSTRATION.
I love it so much, I’m going to actively seek out more illustration jobs. It’s such a lovable combination of arty, imaginative and potentially lucrative.
Watch out illustration world, here I come.

More songs – I Don’t Believe in Santa
Monday, December 22nd, 2008
Well, I did it again. I wrote another song for the PRF Songwriting challenge. That’s three weeks in a row. I guess I qualify as a repeat offender at this point.
I didn’t really plan on writing anything this week. I’m as sick as a dog that is as sick as a very sick cat. Post nasal drip, voice an octave lower than it should be, etc, etc… Plus, the theme was “Holiday Songs.” Perhaps, it’s post-traumatic stress from growing up in the bible belt or a more general revulsion to holiday cheer but i just wasn’t terribly inspired.
Regardless, come 8:30 last night, Jason and I decided to give it a go. And I’m pretty happy with the results. I’m gonna caulk this one up to pure and complete winter boredom. What else are going to do when it’s a wind chill of -29 ? Cry? Drink? Write songs? How ’bout all three.
Here is the latest offense : “I Don’t Believe in Santa”

Veer – typography, illustration, screensavers and merch
Wednesday, December 17th, 2008
This (www.veer.com) is a fantastic site for the graphically minded. Besides wonderful articles, they have wonderful merchandise. For example – the Uppercase Scarf – I would rock this out (& probably be very cold) this winter:
Also check out this wonderful (free) screensaver:

100 Horror Movie Posters (pt 1 and 2)
Monday, December 15th, 2008
http://wellmedicated.com/inspiration/100-illustrated-horror-film-posters-part-1/
This is a really fantastic spread of 100 great horror movie posters. (Really 200, since there is a part 1 and part 2.) The layouts are spectacular, typography is stellar and the illustrations are lush. I wish movie posters still looked like this.
