No more web? Really?

No more web? Really?

Over the past few years I have been looking at the state of print design and I wanted to be competitive.

Look Ma! I’m a writer!

I know I’ve been missing for a while now. But that’s because lots of AWESOME things have been happening in my life lately.  One of them is me doing some writing over at Comic Booked.

Random Mime Sketch…

I have those random moments when I feel like drawing something. While watching Robin Hood: Men in Tights this quote came to mind and immediately I thought of this image. Welcome to my mind :0) Hope you like what you see. **NOTE the shadows on the hands since he’s in a invisible “box”.

Amazing Facebook photos in just 5 minutes! (Photoshop)

If you are a photographer of Graphic designer, I am pretty sure you have posted some of your work on Facebook and noticed they look like CRAP. The colors are muddied, the crispness gone, they are a complete mess. Well I’ve tried tweaking things in Photoshop and adjust brightness, contrast and a host of other things but one thing really did...
