Before reading, go check out frankchimero.com. I won’t feel bad if you don’t come back. It doesn’t have his portfolio there yet. But it has so much else to explore that explains his process and influences. It’s got a few elements I’ve toyed with on this site, like links and quotes. But I love the … Frank Chimero’s New Website and Owning Your Content
OklahomaRock.com just got a major upgrade thanks to Ty of iThemes Creative Services. Ty did all the site design and development, and I helped out with a new logo.

I’ve been working on another project recently (as in since last night) for Jake Sloan. Hopefully I’ll post some of the progress on here soon if we go this direction. It may involve using the Oklahoma flag re-illustration I did last year for an awesome local music project. No more details yet, but here are … Oklahoma iPhone Backgrounds
Working for the Student Union at OSU, I get a lot of projects I don’t particularly enjoy. But recently I’ve had a couple that have given me more freedom (and time) to work with. Here’s some recent work I’ve been doing for OSU University Dining Services. Sometimes I get to squeeze something cool past the … Recent Work I Like
In honor of MLK day, I dug through my old blog archives. I made this iPhone background a little more than one year ago on my old blog. Put it on your iPhone for the day to remember this great leader. I made this early in the Obam-era, so I put CHANGE in the slider … MLK
