| More Wonderlost |

I just added 2 new pieces to the Wonderlost section of the site. The first painting is of a card guard, executioner style. The second is a double character piece for Tweedle Dee and Dum, with Tweedle Dee taking on the form of a creepy dummy.

| Wonderlost: The Queen of Hearts |
September 27, 2007 |

|
*Blows dust off site* It certainly has been a while since the last update. Anywho, I've posted an update to the Wonderlost portion of the website. The newest addition to the collection of paintings is The Queen of Hearts. She is by far the most detailed painting of the series, so go take a look! A copy of her has also been placed into the portfolio page.

I've opened a special section of the site that is dedicated to the Wonderlost series of paintings that I am currently working on. At the moment, I have 3 paintings up, as well as three wallpapers. The next character I hope to create is the Red Queen. I hope to have her finished by the end of this year. For now, take a look around the new site and enjoy!

| Hydrogen Series |

Added three new wallpapers into the Abstract Wallpaper section today. The wallpapers are from a series I started called "Hydrogen." I created a large number of variants, but will only be releasing three of the variations now. I may use the other variants in future pieces or maybe release them later.

| Portfolio Update |
October 24, 2006 |

I just gave the Portfolio page a much needed update. I erased a lot of older pieces and added new pieces as well as updates to older pieces that were all used in my printed portfolio. I've also added three of my finished paintings from my new and ongoing "Wonderlost, The Alice Project" series of paintings.

| TiCons 4 Released (Updated) |
April 6, 2006 |
|
|
I decided to release TiCons 4 today. They have been sitting on my computer for over a year. I was originally planning to release them alongside TiSkin 2, but I am still far from finished with TiSkin. So I figured it would be best if I released TiCons 4 now rather than later, as I may update the set or start work on TiCons 5 later on.
All in all, I am happy with how this set came out. It is also the largest set I have made available, clocking in at 148 icons. There are a few icons missing for Tiger users out there, but hey... theres always the next update, right? Enjoy the new icons!
Update: I have converted the icon set to png for Windows users. Download is available from the Icons page.

Just posted three new wallpapers to the Abstract section. One is a bit old and has been sitting around waiting to be released for a while, the other two are leftovers from my last major school project, my Nintendo annual report. Enjoy!

| V9 Launch |
February 13, 2006 |
|
|
Welcome to V9! Its been a long time in the making, and frankly, its about damn time its out. Its been well over a year since the site had been updated and the old design was beginning to show cobwebs.
Some details and history about V9: Sources of inspiration this time were high gloss automobile paint, the Audi TT and a cool lighted alarm clock I have next to my bed. The design has been in dev on and off in some form since late 2004. The design was made to go alongside the redesign of BB (which you should check out if you haven't, btw). However, as time progressed, I placed more focus (thanks to Erisar's kind pushing ;p) onto finishing up the BB version of the design, dubbed BB Ambience. Once Ambience was finished, I returned to working on its darker sibling, V9. The sub page design was finished pretty fast, since most of the hard work was done thanks to Ambience; but the front page design was another story. I ran into a creative block for the front page design, and spent a few weeks hatching out design sketches. A few months later I finally made a sketch I was happy with and began work on converting the sketch into an interface. I'll probably be posting a "V9 behind the scenes" special in a few days.
Aside from the obvious design change, a lot of other changes have been introduced alongside V9. I gave the whole site a cleanup, removing old content and adding new stuff in its place. Erisar also helped me out by php'ing the whole site and giving all the code a much needed makeover (I owe you one, thanks!). He also did the spiffy BB post/commenting integration you see here and on the Blog.
Some of the new content updates include:
- Updates to all the Tutorials. They all now are more printer friendly. I also plan on converting them all into PDF files for easier transfer and printing... and who knows, I may throw in a new tutorial or two into the mix.
- Gallery has become Portfolio. Aside from a new name, there are some new projects in there including work for Alienware, SmartSkins and some new school projects.
- Additions to the Wallpapers. Six new wallpapers. Some were released on BB and never posted here, while some are brand new.
As always, I hope you enjoy the new update and new content. If you find any bugs, please let me know in the comments.
