Chasing Hares

Just finished designing the logo for Barcamp Austin 3.
If you’re a web uber geek in Austin for sxsw check them out for a throw down of mental sparring.

I sketched out a thumbnail, based on input from evil genius whurley, then scanned into illustrator CS3 to do the final art. BTW - i LOVE CS3.

just found this very cool site for people to create 3 dimensional things to sell

Ponoko.com besides being an awesome looking site its giving me a ton of ideas for creating things. now if i can think of the big idea! props to this company and idea!

Start of a series, both 11″x14″  acrylic on canvas board. First is my favorite catfish bait (chicken livers) , second is an interpretation of the hole in my hand.

two new ink and watercolor sketches i did this weekend. trying to do something with a sense of humor.

Man, you just got to love the healthcare industry. I just received an invoice from the doctor who put 7 stitches in hole i screwed into my hand (see previous post) for $650. This is on top of the $600 I already paid the hospital. he spent about 10 minutes with me out of 3 hours. Would not be a big deal if I had a job or insurance but at the time I did not thanks to well… nevermind, i don’t want to get into it. Obviously it’s a sore spot, and it’s not just my hand which is still healing and painful to touch.

While fishing yesterday I saw something very cool. An Osprey was flying over lake travis then suddenly dove in to the water and flew off with a fish. This is the first time I have ever seen one around here, usually they are by the coast and all we see are buzzards and red tail hawks. This bird was huge and very striking to see in action.

check out this flickr set of wonderful spanish sci-fi pulp covers by el estratographico. He also has some sets of old spanish advertising and 45rpm record covers. Very cool reference and inspirational stuff!
