Fulltime
Now working fulltime as a visual designer at R/GA. Very excited about this.

I'm at 39W, between 8th and 9th in NY. If any of you New Yorkers want to meet up for a beer, drop me a line ;]

Box art


Finished low-rez version of Urban Empires print. Unfortunately, it's not going to be used. Originally there was going to be much more going on in the scene, but there was no reason to illustrate any more. This can be wallpaper-ized if people would like it.

Generative art
In messing around in Actionscript/Flash, playing with creating abstract art for my site, I developed these 2 images. The flying dark "sirens" are generated based on mouse strokes. Little details added in later.





Thought some of you might like. The high-resolution copies could easily be made into wall…

Since most of my work now is web-design (and flash development) I've begun redesigning Kult House entirely in flash. It's about...25% complete if you hit up my site at the moment. No transitions are really there yet, random navigation links will be there, etc.. I'm mostly testing out various stages…

Updates.
So I've been pretty out of the loop lately. Just started work at a web developing firm, just for the semester. Finishing up my last 3 classes before I graduate. Also keeping up with swarms of freelance work. I need to write up a contract for clients.

I also redesigned Kult House. It's more page-orie…

Adverb Condoms.
So today while on the crapper (the home of all great ideas) ... I had an idea!



Basically plays off the whole "Verb: It's what you do" advertisements. What are the chances I can make this into a viable product / gag gift? Hehe.

Also, my contest submission was just a little too creepy for their tastes,…

Macbook Pro Competition
I entered a design competition to win a Macbook Pro. I really liked where I was going with the whole tree bark manipulation in that flyer I made, so I continued on that theme for my entry into the contest.



I really hope I win. :]

Final Fantasy XII's story fucking sucks. I'm in the Sand Seas and I still don't know why I should care, or what the hell the point of it all is.

Weird Khouse issue..
I sent a link of my portfolio to a cinemtographer who I studied with a while ago. Unfortunately, he can't seem to view entries in the Work section, which is strange because everything else works for him (to even access the Work section would imply that Ajax is working - so I don't understand the pr…

New shoes
My black DVS freemonts (shoes) totally suck in rain because of their "breathable mesh", so I went and bought another casual pair of shoes, as well as some for running.

Gravis Kingpins


and Brooks LD Nerve

Ravuya's game
I've been incredibly busy with getting back to school and finishing shit from work, so my logo thread has been slowing down. Poops. Also, I'm trying to finish some game artwork for Ravuya in the meantime.

Here's the main character avatar.

The woman
I forced my girlfriend to model for me. Here's a shot from the dungeon-like basement in her apartment.



I'm quite happy with the end result.

Brav--booooo!
I just strolled over to Bravo TV's website to read something on Project Runway, and I think my pupils just imploded. That is easily one of the most visually abhrasive and clashing designs I've ever seen. I can't spend more than a minute trying to navigate it, let alone look at it, without getting a…

The Descent.
Wow. This movie kicked ass. I have not enjoyed a single horror movie in over 5 years (The Grudge? The Ring? SAW??! Sorry.. no.) Everything has been utter crap. Uninspired, unscary, unoriginal, hackneyed, flashy crap.

Until this. Wowzers.

When I wasn't on the edge of my seat, I was buried into it. It'…

Updates..
I touched up the Work section of my website a lot, it's much more streamlined now behind the scenes, but the interface is also improved. Most importantly, it's now clear which gallery you're actively viewing. Check it if you're interested.

Also, I'm doing illustrations for this magazine publisher gu…

Robal
Another character I'm working on named Robal. I'll write up a short bio later, but the basic premise is that he's an African farmer fighting for his "village" (will be replaced by something slightly less cliche). I want all of his moves to be based off the form of a sickle, basically loopy and arch…

About section finished.
I finished the About section of my website - which means.. it's basically complete! Well, I'll always be tweaking things and whatnot, but I'd say it's generally ready for the "public eye".

Anyway, I really wish I had more feedback/views on my posts (specifically character concepts). I have more thin…

Tempo!
Here's another character I created, tentatively named Turner Tempo. He's supposed to be gargantuan in size - probably the tallest character in the game. And despite what you might think, he's not fast or insanely agile (like Vega, for instance) but rather slow-moving and extremely powerful.



Any fee…

Ah-ha!
Yay, I'm finally posting something game-related! So, I'm starting to illustrate all of the character designs for my fighter, and I started with Sin. He's silent and pissed-off, and essentially stands around like he can give two flying craps about what is going on, but when he attacks it will be fas…

Ok, some Kult House updates:

- The bobbing folder graphic now become "highlighted" when mouseover'd.
- The thumbnail system is now in place! The galleries definitely look way nicer with working thumbnails.

Now I just need to finish that damn About section.

Oh, PS: I have a weird problem that only occur…

Wow, so after roughly a week's worth of coding non-stop every night, I'm proud to present..

It's not completely finished: I still have to finish the About section, add MUCH more work to the portfolio, and perhaps some other little cleanups. Anyway, the entire website is done via dHTML. N…

There are a bunch of other photos in this gallery, but here are two "leftovers".. as I originally didn't plan on showing them.





The strangely uniform lighting on this one is due some massive light reflection from a building behind me. I wish the composition could have been better, but I was walking a…

So, the Day of Portugal fest in Newark was a total blast. SO MANY PEOPLE!

I have hundreds of photos from the streets, but I'm going to post one that I took from an abandoned warehouse today. Me and two buddies wrapped up the photography for the event, so we went exploring down Newark and found a hug…
