Looxii Beta Graphics

2010-01-27T08:31:00.000-08:00

Looxii.com will be launching a private Beta version in the next couple of weeks, and these are some of the graphics that I created in Illustrator for the landing page. They are just a sneak peak of the awesome html layout that Adam Rice created for the page.

I created the grayscale graphics using Illustrator opacity masks and the mesh tool for custom shadows. The paper stacks represents "sorting," the line chart represents "tracking," and the pen and paper represent "analyzing."

Mouse Jockey

2009-09-11T08:52:00.000-07:00

This is an oldie, from a sketchbook dated 2006. Every limb is stubby, but that makes it cute.

twinqs.com

Check out the new mustache-a-pus at twinqs.com. The site and imagery was created by me and Adam Rice.

The Orphins Artwork

2009-07-12T20:46:00.001-07:00

Somehow I ended up creating the artwork for The Orphins new album. Since I'm in the band this shouldn't be too surprising. You can get a taste of it in this flyer that I made for the upcoming release show on August 15th, 2009, at the Drunken Unicorn in Atlanta, with The Selmanaires and Club Awesome.

Bicycle Race Flipbook

2009-03-29T07:16:00.001-07:00

The Bicycle Race Flipbook is a project that I made in Processing last year in Fox Harrell's "Design, Technologies, and Representation" class. Due to a lack of reliability in Processing, I have remade it in Flash using the same imagery.

Each image was hand-drawn, with the help of a scanner and tracing paper, for duplication over frames. The outcome of the race is dependent upon the speed at which you set the movie to run.

If you want to see a couple more applications, check out my updated programs page here.

Cross Species Valentine

2009-02-19T15:38:00.001-08:00

This is a Valentine that I made for Jen featuring some fish on bird love.

iPhone app experiment

2008-12-22T20:13:00.000-08:00

Based on ZoozBeat's iPhone apps, I recreated a new image as experimenting visual style. I haven't made all the icons for instruments except the electronic guitar. Program uses are Illustrator and Photoshop.

Sewage Lights

2008-12-04T21:25:00.001-08:00

Lost in the streets and all alone, little Milo is worried.

Loss, Undersea

2008-11-08T21:24:00.000-08:00

I am currently working on visual images for Loss, Undersea project at ICE Lab. These are a few figure examples.

"Loss, Undersea is a multimedia interactive narrative project by Fox Harrell in which a character moving through a standard work day encounters a world submerging into the depths. As a user selects emotion-driven actions for the character to perform, the character transforms -- deep sea creature extensions protrude and calcify around him -- and poetic text narrating the loss of humanity and the human world undersea."

The otter takes a bath.

Storms

The lion girl is leaving the plastic forest.

Sci-fi Guy

2008-10-07T20:26:00.001-07:00

I hit up Book-Nook this weekend and decided to do a series of images based on elements from cheap 70s Sci-Fi book covers. I'm really just getting inspired by the strange pictures and going from there.

Rat Without a Heart

2008-10-02T20:44:00.001-07:00

This is a reworking of a sketch I did a while ago. Enjoy.

People & Computers

2008-09-27T10:11:00.001-07:00

This is from a series of images that I am making to go along with the documentation for my Master's Project.

The Washer

2008-09-22T22:04:00.001-07:00

The little devil's quite happy to get cleaned!

Desolation

2008-09-20T22:55:00.001-07:00

This place reminds me of Texas...

Highway

2008-09-19T22:21:00.001-07:00

This is my first post without an animal or creature of some sort. Enjoy the highway at night...

Sky Dragon

2008-09-16T21:57:00.000-07:00

Sky Dragon eats you out of your tower!

Night Sounds

2008-09-15T19:55:00.000-07:00

Huddled against the dark, the small bear is concerned about all of the sounds in the night.

The Lake

2008-09-14T07:47:00.001-07:00

The Lake is an image that combined different elements of paintings I've done in the past. Having taught Bob Ross classes before, it is fun to try to integrate some of the process painting methods on the computer. The harlequin diamonds generate a background that helps with the scaling effect.

The Trees

2008-09-13T18:29:00.000-07:00

This is an image that came to me as I was falling asleep. I really like leaving the open sky or open space in an image. I based the deer on a photo from my mom's blog.

Water Dragon

2008-09-12T19:31:00.001-07:00

This is an image of a water dragon that I made yesterday. It was based upon a small pencil line drawing I did on notebook paper. I wanted to keep him simple and graphic in quality to maintain the line drawing look, but I also wanted to add a bit of color as well.

Jorge and the Pimps

2008-09-12T19:11:00.000-07:00

This is an image that is based on a photograph of two of my friends' pit bulls playing. The original image made them look crazy mean, but they were playing friendly.
