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.

making a quick post from my phone to show my students how to update a blog from an iphone.  These are my students in my internet design class.

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.

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.

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.

here is an animation I created for a back to school promotion for paul frank.
