Brain [Brian] Cronin: fantastico!

Impressive in every way: His flash site is super slick and top notch (site designed by Bernie Lalande), as well as distinctly original, plus his content is amazing, and on top of it all he's mega productive. (Click his next page arrow under the gallery window, he's got over 890 illustrations in his collection section alone!) He's wild, I'd like to met him, and see how he does it.

CHRIS RYNIAK: Marvelous Monsters

This guy's stuff reminds me of Dave Lefler's. Be sure and check out all his sections "newer, older, 3D..etc" I'm tempted to buy his book. Anyway here's his link. enjoy

Portfolio Website Coming Soon....

Here's my "splash page" flash swf file, its the only thing I could put up on photobucket that would function from my portfolio site, but when I've returned from Guatemala this summer, any money I have left will go toward purchasing a domain and site host so I can share with you all my new portfolio site. So until then, enjoy this link.

Notice and try-out the "refresh background" button in the top right. I've programmed the background to re-generate each time completely different than the previous click. Each click you'll get a 100% original orginization of elements.

Chris Jordan - Running the Numbers

I first saw Chris' book "In Katrinas Wake" and his images of the damage Hurricane Katrina left in Louisiana. I just recently came across his site with photos that show the huge amounts of american mass consumption, and a second series that show the amounts of man made product that is used daily, hourly, yearly, etc. You can check his stuff out here: http://www.chrisjordan.com/

Yet Another Experimental Animation

Here I used a program called Moho, it was pretty easy, and I think I could do some cool stuff if I mess around with it enough.

Illustration Friday: Green

This weeks theme on Illustration Friday was "green". I did a different drawing of a gangsta flapping "Green-backs" around and standing infront of marijuana plants all done in different green colors, but I thought it was a little too edgy for Illustration Friday. This version was easier to swallow.

Recent Animation

Experimenting with FLASH animation. There's music so it may take a sec to load. Its really short, just a demo clip, I was trying to figure out running. His arms are super robotic, but it made me laugh. Enjoy:

Ji Lee: "Power" in design

Ji Lee—South Korean born, Brazilian raised, NY art student—is an incredible conceptual designer. His professional work is cool, but his independent projects are what's most attractive. He created a typeface called "Wens" that is super and bends the horizons in language, text and imagery: producing images and text through a self-repeating and innate nature—the above image reads "POWER," self-reflexively, over and over. I'm really into these conceptual designs and pattern productions at the moment.

Site Update

I found a few spare minutes and updated my new old site. I know I really need more photos on there, but if you have any feedback on the layout, navigation, etc. that'd be great too!

Illustration Friday: "Snap Shot"

A co-worker recently introduced me to this blog called "Illustration Friday" that gives insentive for productivity.

"Illustration Friday is a weekly illustration challenge. A topic is posted every Friday and then participants have all week to come up with their own interpretation."

Then you're supposed to link your illustration for that week and let viewers check it out and comment, and people network, and get jobs through it. I saw it as a fun excuse to be productive in my illustration. The theme this week was "Snap" so heres my first attempt intitled "Snap Shot", deciding on colors was by far the most difficult part.
