This one is obviously taken from Reservoir Dogs with just a little bit of The Misfits thrown in. I’m not sure why it was requested…but that doesn’t really matter. Plus it’s pretty cool. Hopefully this will be on some T-Shirts pretty soon.
This is a project that I had worked on not too long ago. This was an interesting one, I had to use Flash per the clients request for the intro, I enjoy working in Flash but am well aware of it’s bandwidth hungry habbits. The other challenging aspect of this project was the amount of critics I had to submit it to. The ICV program involves students and teachers from Chico State, Germany and France, so this website had to appeal to multiple parties with varying cultural backgrounds. At one point it was “too American”.
The majority of the images used in the site were taken on site in Germany and France which I thought would be a cool idea for those from the States who want to see what locations they would be able to visit via the ICV.
The actual guts of the site is pretty straight-forward, xHTML & Css, light-weight and browser friendly

This is a re-interpretation of a sketch I saw somewhere on Vox.com. If I find the original I’ll make sure to post the link. Paper+Pencil, Illustrator, Photoshop.
Along with the clown picture that I posted a few days ago, there were a couple other doodles that I had done in that very same bout of boredom. I was actually doing security for the Silver Dollar Fair in one of the art buildings and during the slow hours, I had nothing much to do other than draw on the back of old submission stubs..
These are generally my favorite types of drawing, the ones where I just start drawing lines and make it up as I go. I usually don’t go any farther with simple doodles like this but I decided to try something new this time and threw these guys into Photoshop and make somethin’ happen..
Both of these were sketched with a pen, inked with Illustrator and colored in Photoshop. I decided to color them without using my Wacom tablet just to try coloring with a mouse. I like the way each of them came out.
This is just a sketch I did the other day on a napkin. I kinda liked how it turned out and decided to roll with it. Finished it up with Photoshop.
This is one of the first logo designs that I’ve ever done. It was for a friend in Sacramento who was starting a barbershop. Over the years he’s been doing quite well and has a pretty sweet business going. If you want to check the shop out, you can visit the official homepage here. The homepage url forwards to the shops’ Myspace page. If you would like to check out the shops Facebook page click here.
The logo itself was originally done on paper, I had an image in my head of aviator wings or a badge of some kind, the shop itself has a retro vibe to it, as does most anything that Anthony is involved with, so I was shooting for a WWII direction. To really drive the retro-ness home, I threw in a white-wall tire behind the wings/scissors to sort of frame it all together. All in all I’m happy with how it turned out and I’m guessing Anthony is too.
This is a poster I did for the Associated Students Career Faire last year. It was a commission piece done for extra credit (Woot!). Aside from the “Win an iPod” sunburst icon and the little page flip in the bottom right corner, I was given free reign on the actual design of the poster so it was a pretty fun little project. The layout itself was drawn out a view times on graph paper to get the text proportions the way I wanted them before polishin’ it up with Photoshop.
So I have decided to scrap building a web site of my own for now in lieu of using a pre-built framework. It’s hard building a format that will act as a professional portfolio as well as a personal web page to just post your musings and such, so I decided to give Wordpress a shot, so far I like it.
The plan is to use this blog to post my past and future art, web, design and photography projects as well as doodles, thoughts, news etc. I was considering using a Vox or Blogger page to facilitate this idea but with my own domain and all I figured just installing WP would be the most straight-forward way to approach this. In the future I hope to put together my own theme and customize the crap out of this page! But one step at a time.
Hello world!
