Day 15





This took about 4 hours, including research...which variation is preferred? The paper background was an afterthought, I think it relates well to the old, illustrative aspect of the design and provides a good contrast to the modern, sans serif typeface. However it does muddy the design a little bit, especially in the color variation. I prefer the black/paper & the color/white combination's.

Day 13: Bring the Noise! (Show me...two dragons)

more later


edit: The Verizon man just finished installing our internet! I finished the second one last night, I promise!

Living in the Past





These are some older pieces that I found on my computer and revamped a little bit. The bottom one still does not feel completely right. Its missing something or needs to lose something... I'm not sure, any ideas? 

Edit: 

I lightened the red up a bit and moved face down a little so that the teeth aren't as centered. I tried moving down farther but then I felt it was to weighted toward the bottom. I also changed to teeth to actual gold. They were always supposed to be "gold" but this is better then the yellow I think. The teeth were always supposed to be dominate or over the top but I do think that this is a better solution. Thanks for the input.

Day 12


I spent about 5 hours on this - photoshop is not my strongest "suit" but I did learn a few things, like how to use paths, how to use clipping masks and brushes.

Thanks to Henk for letting me use this picture...

Day 3


At the eleventh hour...I had a long day full of unpacking & cleaning and a night full of weeping and gnashing of teeth at the elimination of the Canucks from the play-offs. At the wing of the Blackhawks no less! And in the second round! Just another reason to hate Chicago.
