  • HP + Daft Punk interface tests

    Here are some test images I did for a job a while back. The mighty Psyop hired me to create some interface mock-ups for the new (at the time) HP touch computer for use in a television ad featuring Daft Punk onstage. The idea was to create some abstract shapes and color which would be…

  • How to make an 8-bit avatar … in 2 tweets

    8-bit avatars seem to be all the rage on Twitter these days, which is cool by me considering the bulk of my childhood was spent playing the Commodore 64 and first generation Nintendo. After watching a 5-minute video on how to create your own avatar in Photoshop (which is great, nice old school results) I…

  • Orb vs. Cube: Free vector download

    A few weeks ago I was playing around with this vector graphic I made of an orb inside a hollowed cube, trying to make a geometric poster or use it as an element in a larger piece. I tried a few ideas then tossed it on the sidelines to chase another concept. This was originally…

    Last week I released my version of the Green Lantern movie poster (seen above), which I worked on in the studio over the course of 2 days from sketch to final. It was a lot of fun to create something based on my childhood hero, so I took care in keeping as much material as…

  • Signalnoise Broadcast 32: Tron Legacy poster breakdown

    If you missed out on tuning in to Signalnoise Broadcast 32 yesterday afternoon, here is the recorded version. Since installing Ustream Producer, I have the ability to broadcast my desktop to show some workflow which is something I didn’t know I could do (idiot, I know). So I decided to jump in head first and…

  • Recent concept drawings

    I’ve been asked quite a few times how I feel about sketching as part of the creative process. It doesn’t matter what I’m working on and what the final medium might be, I always start with roughing up ideas in my sketchbook before going near the computer. For me, it helps clear my head without…
