The Laguna College of Art and Design Finally got their new sign installed.  What a difference it makes having a sign that matches the school’s branding.  This should be a welcome sight to returning students this Fall.

sunset in southern california

A quick glance away from my computer screen and I noticed it was orange glowing outside.  I grabbed my camera and ran out on my driveway to see what was going on.  I wish I was down on the beach because I am sure the sunset was amazing.  It would be nice if there was a way to predict these kinds of conditions.

operation blackbook

Just finished a very small site for a personal protection startup comapny called operation blackbook.  You can view the site here –> operationblackbook.com.

I used a spare window and my video camera to film my hand.  I ended up adding some heavy effects to video of my hand to deal with the amount of noise I got from my make shift lighting.  I think the end result turned out pretty good.

A new interactive cover page I just completed for paulfrank.com.   This is the first flash piece that I have used the tweening class TweenMax on.  I am definitely hooked on the bezier motion tweens.  Illustrations by Micah Player @ PF.

Wordpress demo in my internet design class

Showing my class how use wordpress and upload to your blog using an iPhone.  I think wordpress is a great tool and an easy way for students to quickly get into online publishing.  It also is very easy to customize and I think with a little CSS knowledge my students can really create some cool wordpress blogs.

baby on board

I ran across this image today on my computer.  I think this shirt was one of my favorite concepts from my time as creative director at Paul Frank.  The baby on the shirt is my former co-worker parker Jacob’s daughter.  The part-time model and also former co-worker is Sayer Danforth.

 

The shirt also made an appearance at the MTV VMA’s warn by nacho libre actor Héctor Jiménez.

kidzapalooza

Just finished an edit for paulfrank.com. The footage was from Kidzapalooza in Chicago and I have no idea who was behind the camera.  I did the best I could with the footage that I was given.

HD GUN

I have been wanting to jump into the world of HD.  Waiting for the prices to come down and for a consumer camera that would shoot semi descent footage.  The Canon HF-10 seems like the right camera.  I quickly added some modification to boost it’s shooting potential.  

Canon HF-10 + Stealth Grip + 35mm Adapter + 55mm 1.4f

 

quick test with the adapter:

 

my friend sayer also just leaped in – check out his goodie bag.
