Organics in Pencil

October 1, 2006

I’ve been having a good time lately with my mechanical pencil. I love mechanical pencils. I should use them more. I like to erase a lot.

Anyway, here’s 4 doodles from a few days ago:

Mission Statement!

September 25, 2006

Alright. I’m starting this blog-style portfolio so I can easily publish drawings/paintings/artworks soon after they are made. I’m using a very old version of the Movable Type blog software for this until I get my act together (which may be never).

I will not post any old work. You can go to my professional site to see that stuff.

This will be recent work on a weekly or semi-weekly basis, hopefully. Sometimes there may even be daily posts! Holy Shit!

Former Kansas City Art Institute classmate Peter Bernal once said:
“A man is only as good as his latest piece.” (Circa 2000)

Judge me by my latest post. All past work contributes to the success or failure of the latest work!

Stapler Usability Concerns

July 26, 2006

An extreme case of mis- or non-applied usability practices:
A staple gun fired from the wrong end!

I don’t work in physical product manufacturing or packaging, but I’m thinking the manufacturer could have prevented this. The user didn’t read the instructions (seems quite common), but the design of the staple gun could have reinforced the correct usage through shape, colors, or warning labels.

Strange Public Sculptures

July 1, 2006

Considering the ridiculous amount of hard work it takes to create any type of semi-permanent sculpture, I’m happy to see these examples that are strange, whimsical, and not restrained by societal censorship:

The Bad Balance saga pt. 5 or so

September 27, 2003

Whut—I’ve just transferred the Bad Balance site to php, and it really wasn’t that difficult. As I was only using asp to do sequential image pages and includes. After 5 days, I’ve finally had enough time to fix it. And this is great and also wonderful.

Transition Disaster

September 25, 2003

I’m in the middle of a bungled-up transition from a Windows host to an Apache host. I thought using Chilisoft ASP would be fine, but nobody can tell me how to correctly path my virtual includes, and every asp page has an ugly URL that comes with it.

I’d call this a learning experience.

Now I have to recode 3 sites into php. The asp and php is not doing anything too fancy. I’m just using them for includes and if-else statements, etc. But still. And dang.
