Ladies - 01

Been working on the female form… well, no. Not the whole form, just the face.

Thoughts: Evolution

I am pretty sure that all fairies are evolved from cockroaches.

I’ll try and supply an examination to proof this idea.

There are a few more moleskine sketches that have yet to be uploaded. Instead

Mini Moleskine #1

Andrew — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 08:20:33 +0000

Christmas landed a large amount of sketchbooks in my lap. And here I am burning through the mini moleskine.

Big update today… there’s a lot more piling up.

Google Posting

This little feature escaped my radar for sometime now. I had no Idea that a person could link up a wordpress (or any number of other CMS or blogging software for that matter) to their Google Docs account, and publish from it.

Truly sweet I say… although, now I feel like an ass for buying MarsEdit. Ugh… oh well. Red Sweater makes a fine blogging client, it just seems redundant now.

Monsters, several!

Today was just a day for madness to take hold. In more ways then one… but that’s sad news and I’ll keep that for the closer ones.

The Boy - 01

I draw too light sometimes… doesn’t come out so well on the scanner.

Oh well.

Robots - 01

This one is a bit old, but more robots need posting!

I’ll Be Brief

Side-scrolling web gallery layouts are complete crap.

When my browser hits them it doesn’t matter how amazing the visible content strikes me, I don’t look further. Why? Because the interface frustrates me.

Scroll down? Sure, we’re all used to that. Page turner? Fine, long as it’s a single click (don’t make me pull that page.) Lightbox? Hell, I use it and like it - just make those transitions quick.

Side-scrolling with a single click. Now that’s just fine. Make it fast, make it easy to use. And that works.

Do not make us side-scroll manually. That’s a quick we to lose a lot of people.

He showed up in some earlier dreams of how I was going to design a myspace theme. While waiting for the bus on Pine and 3rd he began to flesh out. And with much beer and a college reunion BBQ, I finished him.

Then a Wacom tablet and Photoshop were tossed about. And there was much rejoicing.
