IT TAKES MY PAIN AWAY

I knew this was going to happen. It's always the same with me when it comes to doing something for myself. Right when I think I have finished my website, I'll go and add 1 little thing that instantly multiplies into 50 little things and now my site looks like this. Maybe it's that I'm bored so I keep finding something to change, I don't know.


I like it, but this madness to stop!
Still working on the text, so the site will be down for a bit.

CUT ME UP GENTLY

Nothing new and/or exciting with me this week. I have been working on something at work that should be pretty cool when it's finished. Cool as in 'everyone in this town will see it every-freakin-day for the next 3 years'... hahaha, that is of course if it gets finished. Hopefully I'll be able to post it next week...maybe.

Since i can't leave with out posting something at least a little bit interesting, here is a fancy pic I made over my lunch break.

I AIN'T 'FRAID OF NO GHOST!

Tuesday is going to be awesome, almost as awesome as this.

HERE WE GO AGAIN

Well it's that time again!
My new website is up... kind of.... It's still missing some stuff, like the "about" section and contact info, but i'll get to that later.
I have been working on this to the point where i have no idea if the design is finished or not, and if i didn't force myself to stop I would probably still be designing it.
Anyways, let me know what you think. Is the whole "Playing Card" theme working? Or is it too much?

CTRL ME

It's started as a simple Facebook status "Ryan will CTRL + Z your face!". Which, if you've ever used any program on a computer you'll know it means "UNDO". Anyways, i started thinking what other shortcuts could be turned into little sayings. So i created all of these. I don't doubt that this already exists out there somewhere, i just thought it was neat.

SELF PORTRAIT

Here's another quick doodle I digitized. Really didn't want to spend any time on it. Just thought I'd share it.

INSERT TITLE HERE

Not much to talk about... have a couple projects to post.


Screen shot of a site i designed/developed for a friend. The site is about 95% complete, just need to fill it with updated content. I'll post the link when it's complete!

Also, since i have had some spare time on my hands i have been able to jump back onto this "witch" poster. Not sure what's going to happen with it. I don't think I'm too happy with how it's turning out... Then again, I think that I just need to devote some time to it.

LAUGHING OUT LOUD

Long time no blog...
I have had too many things to do the last month to the point where it felt nothing was getting done. This was kinda my fault for giving myself too many new tasks... heh... I bit off way more than i could chew.
However, one by one, everything is being cleared from my plate.

Here's one of the projects i have been working on. It's not completely finished , but it's definitely presentable. Let me know what you think.

I will post another website that i have been working on next week (hopefully).

BUSY BUSY BUSY...

Too many things on the go, way too many... I decided to change the look of this blog to show off some CSS skills, but that's gonna take some time (this new look now is just temporary) . On top of work, i have a poster that I'm in the middle of making for the hell of it and a website I'm doing for a friend. Anyways, thought I would just drop by and say what's goin on.

I'VE BEEN LEFT 4 THE DEAD

Every once in a while I like to chill out and game. Latley i have been getting ripped apart on XBL by hordes of zombies. It's quite fun, and i recommend it to everyone!

Also, here's a quick doodle i did in illustrator... just so i can say I haven't been doing nothing...

I think im gonna try to make a retro movie poster out of it. But, that may change.

[UPDATE - MARCH 20, 2009]
I've been fine tuning the drawing for this project while thinking of a good title. Still don't have a title, but i thought I'd share the updated drawing. I must say that it's a pretty big improvement compared to the original one i came up with... still needs work though...

ARG...

So, I'm sorry for the lack of posting lately. I've been working my ass off developing a website (which i'll post when everything is finished!), so that's exciting... i don't usually do the whole developing side of things. I suppose this is a good thing, people like to see designers who can also build websites...right?
Anyways, I also have another website on the go during my free time, so my personal projects have been side aside for a bit.

In the mean time check out this site. It's a great site for webdesign reference.

sixrevisions.com

WOW!

I stumbled across this today...

www.strongstuff.net

AWESOME STUFF!

B.R.B.

Well, I gotta take a little break from posting random works. I have some other side projects to do and they are going to eat up most of my free time. But, on the plus side I've been thinking about what I'm going to do next, and I'm pretty psyched (...did i just use the word psyched?).

In the mean time check out my portfolio sample site... there's also not much there, but let me know what you think.

MUST STOP COLEMAN!

I guess i can consider this finished... I'll eventually come back to it to add text to make it a poster for something.

DEATH TO COLEMAN

Haven't posted anything in a couple days so here's where I'm at. Still not finished my new project, but it's coming along pretty good.

MARVIN WHO?

Since someone out there loves' them some martians. Particularly, martians named Marvin. I made this. Which works out great! Now i have an RGB set of posters. Go RGB!

THINGS TO COME

I've been thinking of what to do next...

I can't draw, i doodle. I was messing around drawing ridiculous/unrecognizable shapes when i came up with this.

Just taking a relaxing jog around the block.

Still not knowing what i was going to do with this doodle of myself, I brought it into Illustrator. After quickly tracing over it with the pen tool, and adding some "nonsense" to it i ended up with this.

Just taking a relaxing jog on the block.

I haven't moved to the next step yet, i will shortly. Hopefully I'll have another rough up sometime this week or next.

[Update]
Well i haven't been able to mess around too much with this today (too much actual work). But i was able to come up with this. Think im gonna go at it again tonight.

CATCH ME IF YOU CAN

That stupid bird...

A couple quick posters I made in Illustrator.

SO WHY AM I HERE?

Good question.
The purpose of this blog is to keep me motivated to produce more and more random geeky art/designs. Wether they're good or bad, It's fun, it's work, it's what i wanna do for the rest of my life.
I spend alot of time watching TV, playing video games, and other non-productive activities. Slowly I'm trying to break away from this... laziness...(isn't the right word, but it's the first word that comes to mind), and do something interesting. So, I hope you enjoy what i post and please feedback is greatly appreciated. Also, if you have stumbled across this blog and noticed that i haven't posted anything lately, please kick my ass.

SPIDERMAN

Eric Tan's Pixar posters are what inspired me to create this. Who doesn't love Spiderman and vectors?

ATTACK OF THE SHADFLIES!

Beware!

LASER CATS

I'm pretty sure it speaks for it self.
