Missile or Airplane?

While driving home from work I saw an airplane flying through the twilight of sunset. Then I saw this report of some UFO/Missile/Airplane. And then I made this:

And of course I made this using that cloud brush I love so much.

New 4th generation iPod touch takes photos

"I wonder what the photo quality is of this 4th generation iPod touch?" I asked myself.

The answer: meh.

The resolution is 960x720 pixels, which is around 0.7 mega pixels. Sadly, my 3 year old cellphone has a higher resolution camera. However, it is nice to have a large screen and slim camera with me all the time. The iPod takes photos in color, but I've just got this thing for Black & White right now. Enjoy!

Batteries For Robots II

Thought this needed a little cleaning up from the previous version. I like the repeating shapes. Varying light adds subtly while shots of color keep things interesting.

Astigmatism

My friend asked me what its like to have an astigmatism. I tried to find some images on the web, but found few photos that were good examples. So in Photoshop, I endeavored to simulate what my astigmatism looks like. This is a bit exaggerated, just FYI.

Oh Hai Beautiful Jewelry!

Aside from engraving things at work, I also take pictures of jewelry (random?). These are some new beautiful pieces we just got in. I thought the pictures turned out looking good; considering I was using a point-and-shoot camera and a homemade light-box.

Oh Hello Sunlight

Last fall, I was driving down the free-way early one morning when I passed this scene. Glow trees, glow!

iPad Contest

So Gizmodo and Epilog teamed up to have an iPad themed contest. People can submit designs (with either a "beautiful" or "embarrassing" theme), and 1 winner will be chosen in each category and get a free iPad with their design engraved on the back!

Here's my idea for the "beautiful" category:

My inspiration came from the design I engraved on the back of my iPod shuffle.

Obama Toast!?

K, please tell me I'm not crazy. I swear I can see Obama's face in my toast! I couldn't bring myself to eat something with a face on it... so I'll just go hungry for lunch today. What should I do with it?

A Democratic miracle!

The iPod Returns

Life became really busy this past month. March should be better though.

The mother-board design looks excellent on green. No? Lasers might just be my new favorite medium to create art.

Home Stretch

I finally have a double-take design in the fog! Please vote, because, I can't win without you. And it's pretty cool too.

Mind: Blown

So I didn't make this, but because it is so inspirational, I had to share it.

I've worked with 3D modeling, but nothing like this! This is simply superb.

And best of all; it's 100% CG! This guy is amazing! If you can watch it in HD, do it.

Cerulean Galaxy

I love looking at galaxies! Each one has a unique identity: shape, size, spiral. I wanted mine to be blue. Also, I wanted it to have a bright center and chaotic spirals. Like, maybe its just being formed and new life is still bursting from it's core!

Anyways, that Photoshop cloud-brush comes in real handy.

A Present From The Past

So, a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far, away, I made a cute little water molecule shirt design. It was a splash! And then I sold my soul, and tried to capitalize off of it again. I'll let you know how it goes.

Night Billboards

It was a cold, foggy, dark night. The billboards along the free way made the low hanging clouds all-a-glow. It was very cool.
