Minnesota remodeling company.  This site was built in standard html, with just a bit of jquery to get the image rotator working. This was built in 8 hours.

Crisis Commons is a disaster relief nonprofit.  The site ran Wordpress at the time I was involved. I customized an existing Wordpress theme, "arthemia" to fit the needs of the nonprofit.

Capstone Partners is a staffing firm in Washington DC.  I received the completed design and implemented it in Wordpress. A few customizations allowed the client to integrate audio podcasts.

One step up from a business card.  Six pages cover the basics for a travel tour operator in Quito, Ecuador.

The site uses jquery for lightbox photo galleries, as well as popup boxes on the menu items.

The Black Sheep Inn is an award-winning eco-lodge in the Andes mountains of Ecuador.  This redesign used "mega drop-down" menus to bring organization to the extensive range of articles on the site.

This project was a skinning of an existing framework.  The toy store used OS-Commerce, an open source e-commerce package developed in PHP.  I tweaked the display templates, and designed a custom front page.

Kotesol is a teacher's society based in Korea.  For this site I used Drupal (a PHP-based content management system).  The site allows multiple editors (non-coders) to log in with differing levels of control, to maitain and update content.

A simple photo gallery, but one that fits my taste better than picasa, flickr, etc.  This format allows for a more connected narrative in the captions, and easy, quick browsing through the photos.

Africa Travel Photos

A travel agency with a legacy site using Drupal over a PyroCMS back-end.  I was involved in cleaning up the display of the site, and managing the outsorced development of a new replacement backend for both content and booking/CRM data.

Jamaicavillas.com

My personal site, where I archive theatre, audio, and video projects.  At present, the site serves the Tin Man podcast, a radio-drama that made it to public radio in 2007.

When Slashdot.org opened a "design the new Slashdot" competition, I threw my hat in the ring.  I didn't win, but it was good experience keeping all design choices in CSS.

Disney brand crude oil.  All of my 3d renders are produced in Autodesk Maya, via the built-in Mental Ray renderer. In this case, I made the soup label in Photoshop, and then wrapped it around the barrel in Maya.

This castle started as just a background prop, but I like how the renders turned out. I used Mental Ray's built-in sky system for lighting.

The same castle, but shrinkwrapped for freshness.  You can always increase customer satisfaction by adding shrinkwrap.

I modeled this chair after some antiques that can be found in the library at the University of Salamanca, in Spain.

A number of props in this scene are collected from free download sites like creativecrash.com.  The real work was in the lighting, and the image projection onto the crystal ball.

Heck, any Warhol fan knows that if you've got one soup can, there's no reason not to make a whole BUNCH of them.  The reflections in the surface of each barrel make the render engine work overtime.

Character Study -- The main characters that I use in my animation are created by other people, expert modelers and riggers.  The little blue guy is called "basic guy." I concentrated on messing around with costume elements.

I shall eventually have a use for a tandem bike with extra glam shock absorbers.

For my animated short, the best title I can come up with so far is... "Fred is Whack."  This is a test lighting the logo as it spins around.

Kotesol Seoul Chapter ran a conference in 2006 on classroom management.  This postcard ended up being an adventure of misaligned preconceptions, between myself and the local Korean printing shop.

Harford County comissioned me to make a Reading Strategies poster that they used in all of their middle schools.  This was the biggest canvas I have ever had opportunity to work on, at 5400 x 7200 pixels.

The Harford County committee did not particularly like my creepy face version, but I still like the spare look of this version of the Reading Strategies.

The Classroom Management conference also had need of a few posters.  A slight embellishment of the postcard layout allowed for a bit more text and, I think, attitude.

This brochure cover for a technology conference was a last minute affair -- compositing a few images I found on the interweb.  The organizers all thought it was terribly High Tech, maybe because the keyboard is backwards?

I designed this press packet to give a gestalt of Barnumesque superfluity, (i.e. too much), without becoming cluttered or unclear.  Yep.  That was the goal.

Press packet (pdf file)

A standard and unglamorous problem -- the client wanted a metric ton of text, logos, images, on the back of his postcard.  And postards, of course, necessitate swathes of white space for the machine reader to apply its barcode mojo.

I produced a 2 hour serial audio drama in 2007.

It was featured at the Third Coast Festival and played the Chicago Public Radio (91.5 FM), show Re:Sound
