Wal-Mart Gets $99 iPhone

There have been reports, and now photographic evidence of training materials, that Wal-Mart will be getting the exclusive rights to the newly announced price drop in the 8 gigabyte iPhone. This is big news for a lot of people. The first would be the people that already own an iPhone (or at least the ones [...]

Well On My Way

So as you might know I am a web designer. I am fairly new at this profession, but I love it none the less. I work day in and day out thinking of nothing but Photoshop layers, color schemes, font choices, and layer styles. But a new revelation to the world of web design, one [...]

I'm Thirsty Dr. Pepper

I was 8. I was 8 years old when the last Guns N’ Roses album was released. Which to me is kind of ironic. Guns N’ Roses is a band that I have followed for years. I loved their music. I loved their videos. I loved their hair. This was what my father used to [...]

'Zipper'

When I sat down to create this piece I knew exactly what I wanted to portray. Again, going back to the idea of modern day items such as a baseball or a radio, I wanted to establish my vision of something we use every day. We are either using them, replacing them, breaking them, or [...]

Google Earth As A Tool For Terror

She answered the phone and the first thing I said before she could get a word in edgewise was, “So, the fence around the pool is crooked.” She laughed and asked me what I was talking about. I told her to move to the computer and I would show her. She did, and as it takes her weeks to figure out where the power button is, I continued to play.
