  • Today, I finished updating my graphic design portfolio. I wanted to feature new pieces. I acknowledge that my past defines me, but I also want to show growth and maturation. In this iteration, I’ve simplified the navigation. An experiment: Just a home button with the wordmark part of my logo on it. I’m only showing…

  • I had a phone interview where I had to point the interviewer away from my portfolio site to my blog for “recent work.” So, I realized it was time for an update. I am not finishing the site today, but what to do in case someone wants to look at it? My solution, timemachine.php. If…

Understanding how it flows, expressing what I think and how I think…

  • Today, I wanted to give Shelby (a budding webcomic I am working on) a home on my website. I’m planning on adding a few more episodes, as production levels will provide– no specific timeline, yet. When I see a character I can relate to, I know that there will be more. Anyways, I used my…

  • Shelby from Katarina Countiss A day off of work. Ideas percolating. The want to create something. I made these little guys while sketching for a logo. In a video game prototype here. And they showed up again in a birthday card. Then some of them got together to bring in the new year. And one of them…
