Messing with Marc Cenedella from The Ladders
So during my job search, I decided to sign up for TheLadders.com. For those of you who don’t know what that is, it’s like monster but for 100K plus jobs only. As a joke, I signed up thinking I might be able to land me a CEO position somewhere with oh, all 5 whole years […]
3d Robot Ninja
A while ago I built the Hyperninja in 3D. I built a low poly version, only 1265 polygons, and just used a diffuse map with the texture. I built this in a crunch, but I plan on building a higher res version eventually.

A Favor House Atlantic
For those of you Coheed and Cambria fans out there. A couple friends of mine did an animation for this Favor House Atlantic video. This would have been the actual music video had not Sony decided to go with live action instead. Its amazing how they combined flash, after effects and 3d elements to […]
BlueYonder Photoshop Tutorial
Sometimes, as designers we get too caught up into creating these whizzbang over the top effects, and forget that good design does not always have to have flurls, swirls, and crazy glow ribbons. Ray has put together a tutorial on how to create a magnifying glass effect in Photoshop. It’s a pretty good insight into […]
Graphic Design Work: Creation
I did this design, titled “Creation“, a while ago inspired by an outer space tutorial I found. I really hate to admit it but I actually used a lens flare in this piece.
The Burger Bling
I decided to tryout Go Media’s Bling Tutorial on the Burger King to make him “The Burger Bling“. Even in solid gold form, there is just something about the Burger King that creeps me out.
