Hi, kids! So I’m back again. I’m going to go ahead and skip past the part where I explain and apologize for my recent absence. As we all know, shit happens. I return to you a college graduate and a tepid, tender-footed immigrant into The Real World. No news yet on whether my naturalization has [...] Related posts:

Okay Jay-Z, I see you’re just gonna release the perfect addition to my Return of The Music Video article like two days after I publish it. Douchebag. No seriously though, this shit is crack.

Happy New Year’s Eve from The Dope! Before you all go out and start the groundwork on waking up tomorrow completely naked in a inexplicable pile of some grown man’s unwashed laundry, along with an empty can of whipped cream, two broken radio antennas, an illegal immigrant, plaster of paris drying on your genitalia and [...] Related posts:

Return of the Music Video

Sun, 20 Dec 2009 01:28:50 +0000

A snowstorm has been beating the shit out of Philadelphia since I woke up this morning. My island boy excitement about getting a chance to work on my snowball skills didn’t last too far beyond the first few minutes of bitter cold and the lovely little sensation of frozen water weasling its way inside your [...] Related posts:

Web Design

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 04:55:22 +0000

So I design websites. I love to do it and I have for a long time. My most recent obsession (and thus, most of my output) has been WordPress blogs but my fascination is slowly migrating to jQuery. I’ve done all sorts of things for all sorts of people and even ran a few sites [...] Related posts:

Print Design

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 04:50:54 +0000

I don’t do a lot of work for print, I much prefer designing things that can interact with the audience, but a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do, and occasionally a man’s gotta design a flyer. Over the years I’ve accumulated a nice little collection of these odd jobs, so I might as [...] Related posts:

Photomanipulation

The way I got into this whole profession in the first place was by tinkering around with a pirated copy of photoshop about eight years ago. Technically this means that photomanipulation is my oldest design skill. I have to admit, I don’t do it as often as I should anymore, mainly because I’m too busy [...] Related posts:

Photography

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 04:40:09 +0000

I know, I know, everyone thinks that they’re a photographer, and every idiot with a camera has a dozen or so snapshots of the Eiffel tower or their puppy dog making puppy dog eyes and they all think that they should be hung up in a museum somewhere. I don’t claim to be anything more [...] Related posts:

Drawing

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 04:35:14 +0000

The most recent addition to my skillset happens to be the traditional art of drawing. Call me old fashioned but I had a lot of fun with this, and over the past few months I’ve gotten pretty good at it. More interestingly, having to deal with the unique issues of each medium and each type [...] No related posts.
