Burning San Diego to the Ground
August 3rd, 2010It’s been way too long since I posted anything so I thought I’d take the two stinking minutes it takes to do it and not worry about trying to make anything of any importance at the moment. This one’s a simple gig I did just recently for the upcoming IAFF convention in San Diego.

Technical Mumbo Jumbo for the Graphically Impaired

Streamlining Your Workflow
September 17th, 2009Working in the real world as a Graphic Artist consists of many different factors that help you simply survive, let alone push to the front of the crowd…and let’s face it, it’s a big crowd. One of the most important things you can do for yourself to raise your worthiness to any company is to streamline your workflow.

Screen-Printing By The Numbers
September 16th, 2009Every aspect of putting an image on a shirt isn’t nearly as easy as most people think it is. I’d like to think it’s because we’re all so familiar with tee shirts that we assume things that simply aren’t true when it comes to making them. Besides, can’t you just take an image to Kinko’s and they’ll put it on a shirt right there and then?
