Google Web Fonts

For those who don’t know, Google has been creating a database of fonts you can link to and use on your website. This lets designers and developers get away from those old clunky looking out of date web-safe fonts and step calmly into the future. Also, the implementation of the code is really easy.

I told you I would add in some new stuff. Here are some photos of a recent project. They are GIANT window clings at Creekside Town Center in New Braunfels, Texas. That’s a mouthful. Anyway, take a look and leave some comments. ^_^

Print Projects

I’ve added a few new print projects to my portfolio today. I will add some large format banners and window clings when I get a chance to go out and take some photos of them. Right now I am very pleased with the work I am showcasing. hopefully I can start snagging some freelance soon for print and web design. I don’t think I am going to throw myself out there doing any type of code (unless it’s CSS & HTML5). I really don’t have much desire to do PHP right now (since I am just a novice right now).

Anyway, take a look over my portfolio as it grows and changes and let me know what you think. Until then, take care.

Illustrated Map

Here’s a map I worked on recently for a client. I rather like it. I think the colors could use some work and whatever, but it isn’t bad. What do you think?

CtrlPaint


This is a really cool site a friend showed me today and I kind of wanted to share it with everyone. It is a video tutorial on how to be a decent illustrator using Photoshop. I would suggest checking it out if you are a budding artist.

Sketch A Day

I plan to start a “sketch a day” blog on here to see where it takes me and see if it opens up my artistic side a bit. The plan is to get it under way after I get my portfolio up and running. Above you can see an example of something I did at work in my free time. I assume some of these sketches, if not most, will be just sketches, where some may end up being colored and digitized in Photoshop.

Wish me luck, and check back soon for my progress.
