This is my attempt at photo manipulation. Its a picture of my wife’s eyes, as a character from Darker Than Black, Uina.


The Eyes


I was invited to a hip hop battle in Miami by We Merge to do some live art. I thought it was time to bring back my Afro Girl 2. Everyone liked it digitally so I decided to do it Traditionally. This is done in pastels. ( I will upload a better picture soon )


Afro Girl Remix


Well, I decided to take a break from working this weekend and actually use my new cintiq. This is the result of about an hour and a half of trying a new surface and program. I have a lot to learn about Painter but it shows a lot of potential.


Jermbo Sketch Color


Well this is the result of trying something new. I had just received my wacom and this is the first piece to come out of that. I am really impressed, and I plan to do this for a long time.


Afro Girl 1 Colored


This is my first piece of my first series. I call them "The Afro Girls". This one is Afro Girl Number 1. Not because I like this one more than the others, but because it was the first.


Afro Girl 1


This is the second thing to come out of my newly discovered wacom table. Oh how I love you wacom and photoshop. You are my new best friends!


Afro Girl 2 Colored


This is the second piece in my Afro Girl collection. I think this one represents a leap forward in my art. Before this there was something missing, and this filled the gap. Now that my expectations are set a little higher, I can only do better.


Afro Girl 2


Sorry, but not much to say about this one. This officially completes my first series. This was some more wacom and photoshop awesomeness. But now on to other bigger things!


Afro Girl 3 Colored


There are other Afro Girls that I have drawn, but this marks the last in the series. I didn't pay to much attention to the sketch because I had recently discovered the wacom tablet. And I really liked it! So Afro Girl Number 3 everybody.


Afro Girl 3


This is a sketch requested by a friend as a possible tattoo. I really like this piece because it pushed my abilities and creativity a little bit. I know it might not look like it but I was going through a dry spell and this helped me get out of it.


Angel Tattoo Sketch


In this tutorial, I show you the basics of animating in ActionScript 2.0. You learn how to take an object and move it using Tweener.


Animating with ActionScript 2.0


Wow, This is a brain child of a slow day at the office. We were thinking one day, "There should be a place to re-gift something and not have to care if the person who gave it to me found out." And thus Another Shitty Gift was born.


Another Shitty Gift


Well I don't know what to say about this. This was for my 4 year old niece. She loved it and that makes me happy.


Big Hug


Ok people. I wanted to show you how to make an XML slide show gallery in ActionScript 3.0. When I sat down and thought about it, I realized that you need to understand other elements that go into it. Here is the first one about an XML document.


Building an XML Gallery Slide Show pt1


Well here is the second part of my xml gallery tutorial. Here I will be explaining the basics of an array.

Building an XML Gallery Slide Show pt4


My company in 2010 changed names and here are some of the logo design. I think these are strong.


Chief Design Logo Set 1


Well the boss man sometimes doesn't know what he wants until he see what he doesn't want. So here is round two of the newly name company Chief Designs Works.


Chief Design Logos Second Round


Ok this is another one of those pieces that helped me understand what I am capable of. There was one point when I was trying to do everything from my head. I thought that I wasn't an artist if I couldn't create everything out of my head. Then I had a thought, if I have never seen this pose before or thing before, how can I expect me to draw it. So this was my first piece with a reference photo for the model.


Death


This is a soft website for a client at work. They didn't go with this design, but I like it so here it is.


FootBall Club


Alright guys, I am in love with Illustrator. Here are my techniques that I use when I want to turn my sketch into a Vector masterpiece. You can take these techniques and apply them to any number of things and truly make something amazing.


From Sketch to Vector


My buddies and I went down to a huge art festival in Miami, and a buddies buddy was showing his work. So we went down and got the VIP treatment, and hung out in the back with the other artist exhibiting, and for some strange reason I really wanted to draw. This is what came out.


Graceful Hair


This is a piece like my Death piece. I was reluctant to use any type of what I called "help". But it turned out that a little reference can take you a very long way. And after talking to other artist, its completely acceptable. Phew.


Hands Of Creation


Some graffiti character of mine that I named after me. I should really do something with this guy... oh the possibilities.


Jermbot


Another local company that I designed for. A simple WordPress theme with a dash of jQuery in it.


Jupiter Wills and Trust


This is a sketch of a friends niece. A gift for his mother. They both are sick and not doing very well so my hope is to bring a little bit of joy in a very rough situation. Andrew, my heart goes out to your family.


Kaylee’s Sketch


This is a design for a local pest control company. Nothing really special about this. I just like the design.


Lady Big WebSite


This is a design for a guy that I was doing some Flash programming. He didn't ask for it, I just liked the name Media Shark and wanted to do a nice Negative Space logo. And here is the result.


Media Shark Logo


In this tutorial you will learn how to dynamically add a MovieClip onto the stage and move it based on your mouse location. All using ActionScript 3.0


Moving Objects Based on Your Mouse Location AS3


Man I really love this piece. At the time of this pieces creation, I was doing some reading on other religions and Hinduism really caught my eye. This piece has a lot of symbolism in this. Can you see them all?


My Goddess


This was a first for me. I have been using Illustrator for a while now, but I have not really used it for art. Its mainly been for commercial work, ie. logos, icons, text etc. But with the sketch looking so good i needed to try a new technique. And thus my vector art is born.


My Vector Goddess


Alright guys, I had just picked up some useful information on PhotoShop. And I turned it into a painting. Here is my techniques on painting in PhotoShop.


Painting in PhotoShop


This is for a project that my current company wanted to start developing. So I figured while the big dogs thought about what they wanted this project to do, I did some design work on the logo.


Pink Moon Logo 1


Here is the second option for the Pink Moon Logo. I am going for that retro swinger look.


Pink Moon Logo 2


This is a character of mine. I haven't really given him a name other than "Punk Rocker". This guy started out on a white board at work, then I decided to put it on paper, and here you go. Traditional pencil and color pencils to get this piece done.


Punk Rocker


This was a feature project for a previous company that I worked for. Basically I needed to make this so easy to use, that a person with very little computer knowledge can use it. Our target market was 35-50 who was looking to start a web site.


Real Estate Blog Builder


Here is one of my famous under developed thoughts. I tend to do that a lot. I have a great idea, I start working on it, then I fizzle out and eventually give up on it. I am putting this up in hopes to re-inspire me to start / finish this piece. Lets see what happens.


Ribbon Hero


I would like to get better at portraits, so who better to try on then my nephew. I think a young boy needs a good nick name, I dub the Shark Bite.. I have spoken.


Shark Bite


She is hot. I really got to learn to do faces well. But I think this piece has a certian something with out a face. This was done shortly after My Vector Goddess piece. I think I found a new friend in Illustrator.


She Devil


HAHAHA.. I don't want to know what I was thinking when I drew this. The weirder part was this was a request for a tattoo. The dude actually got it tattooed on him, I guess that doesn't surprise me. I have seen some weird tattoos.


Snuggles


I was invited by WeMerge Magazine, a local south Florida arts magazine, to do a live art exhibition. I worked on a sketch for about a week and decided to paint this live with pastels. I really like the way it came out, I just might do it again...


Speak Free


I worked as a contractor for building some flash menus. Here is one that I liked. I have only been doing flash programming for about 5 months. And I was impressed by what I could do when I just opened a book to learn.


Sports Bar Digital Menu


I was commissioned to design a social network site. The idea behind this is, imagine that you are having a conversation with a friend. Now you are talking with your own slang and lingo, and realize that if you take one section, out of context, and some one heard that, it would sound weird. Well here's the place to post it.


Studdr Design


This is a project for the big boss. Every year he puts on a fun raiser event for his college football team.


UNH Football Alumni Event


This is an anniversary gift for my fiancee. Her old roommate took some pictures and we really liked this one. I decided to create this in vector format, using Adobe Illustrator.


Vector Love


Here are the final versions of the logos. I forget which one they picked, but its definitely out of this set.
