Already Been Chewed

I do not enjoy painting or even drawing very much. I do not think I have a very artistic style. It’s too mechanical and not fluid. I’m more a human copy machine than an artist. I think a true artist has a unique vision and does not simply reproduce what he/she sees. Get me behind [...]

Today is my first official work day freelancing. I’ve had some really good conversations with a lot of other studios, clients, and potential adventures. Praying that some of those will come through. Looking forward to the rest of 2010 and more of the relationships that will form here online. Drop me an email if you [...]

Today is my last day at RT Creative Group (Igniter, WHM, Echo, Collide). Monday is my first official day being full time freelance! Would love to talk with individuals or studios that would like to partner to create some fresh media! Ok. Back to the point of this post, here are 10 of my favorite [...]

AlreadyBeenChewed homies!!! I’ve got some amazing news! Starting next week, I am leaving the perceived security of a full time gig and launching my own freelance/design studio. It is easily one of the scariest decisions I’ve ever made in my life. Fortunately, I have friends, family, and faith to help guide me in this decision. [...]

I’m always fascinated with the “making of” videos. Yesterday, Rob Thomas showed me this one. It’s pretty awesome. Take a look at how “easy” it seems when broken down like this. Let me know if you have other links to good “making of” videos and share it in the comments. Thanks!

I created this collage for Igniter Media. I wanted to use the old Master’s paintings in a more modern and unique way. You can see a larger version HERE.

I heard a great digital artist say “I don’t write tutorials. I think you should take time to explore on your own.” The comment seemed a bit small minded – to be honest. Creativity is not found in the tutorials we learn nor should it be a threat for someone else to know how you [...]

I’m honored to have been included in Computer Arts Timeline for “The Year In Design.” I place a very strong emphasis on design over motion. I do not think a person’s motion work will be any good without focusing on the design first. If it’s ugly when you start, it doesn’t get prettier just cause [...]

I designed several album cover concepts for Toby Mac after he had seen the font I created for the Lil’ Wayne tee. At one point, I created another custom font (seen top right in image below). None of my concepts were used for the final cover but I was able to recycle the custom font [...]

I’m honored to contribute some creative services to the Help Haiti Live event coming up on Feb. 27. They already had a great video on their main page that someone else worked on for them, but I’m pleased to help in creating some content for the event. The concert event is being organized by Shaun [...]
