Olives, and rosemary, and sundried tomatoes… oh my!
Well, it doesn’t have as nice of a ring to it as lions and tiger and bears, oh my! But I was just about as impressed with myself when I made gluten free, egg free bread with those ingredients last weekend. I’m not usually a foodie, and this isn’t a blog about food anyway. Don’t ...
There was a star…
I’m always carrying my camera around with me, snapping photos of interesting things. I’m started to get a little bored with single images, and I’ve always been interested composting and experimenting with blending modes and transparencies.

Iterations
While initial sketches are always good to start the creative process, final touches are also just as important. Above you can see some of the iterations I went through before arriving at the final bunny bumper design for the final flash game of pinball in our final project.

All too often it’s way too easy to jump on a computer and start laying something out without really giving it much thought prior to your hand on the mouse. And while I have participated in plenty of that in the past, the last 8 months I have been exploring my ideas more on paper ...
