Funny little experiment I found in my design folder. The picture is from a camping trip to Oceano, CA my wife and I went on about a year ago (I think it was a year ago… darn this brain!).
That bird will mess you up
Upon a revisit to this image, it should say ‘Honk, Honk’ right? Bah, I like it as it is.
I should probably upload the rest of those pics from Oceano up here sometime. Hmm… maybe this weekend. Stay tuned!

Yesterday I mentioned my friend Elizabeth Joy Greene (formerly Koppa). Elizabeth and her husband Mitchell moved to Memphis, TN not too long ago and before she left I made her a design as a going away present.

My sister, Sarah, will love me for posting this. I threw this picture together quickly one morning while she was visiting back when I still worked at UCSB a few years ago.
Gir face of Doom
I think it is actually one of the earliest designs I ever did in which Mr. (Not So) Smiley made an appearance.
Oh, and if you have no idea who Gir is or why there is doom then look up “Invader Zim”. It has to be one of my all time favorite animated series.

I consider myself a photography noob but I love it. I’ve learned quite a bit in the last few years and one of those things is something called lomo photography or lomography. According to Wikipedia, “lomography emphasizes casual, snapshot photography. Characteristics such as over-saturated colors, off-kilter exposure, blurring, “happy accidents,” and alternative film processing are often considered part of the ‘Lomographic Technique.’”
I do not have a lomo camera. But I have Photoshop. Enter Photoshop tutorial and experiments. Yay!
This is just around the corner from where I live

Do Not Insert Dirty Joke Here
The last photo was taken just outside of Sacramento, CA about a year ago. I’ll be sure to upload the rest of those pictures from that trip sometime in the near future.

While slushing through some old design files, I came across these old fun little exercises with a very easy to accomplish effect in Photoshop. Enjoy!
This is Ander. I'm not this cool.
Where in the World is Vince Lee?
I know, I know. I’m plagarizing myself. I totally stole that first image from my own myspace page that has been up for years. Oh well.
