The past week or so has been one late night after another … staying up until 5 am, sleeping until noon, getting ready for lectures and then doing it all over again.

The plus is that I am shaving stuff right off of my pending to-do list and keeping up with my development schedules. Yay for on time work!

Enjoy this composite. It is for Jason Padgett. I am off to finally get some sleep this morning. :D

Here we are, at it again. Saturday night’s trailer judges gave an average score of 7 (except for the German judge … 5 on that one). Enjoy the treats!

Meet Bill
Jimison – “Meet Stupid … he brought Bill with him.”

Jodie – “Is he at least wearing pants at the funeral? Or is it just an undershirt and tightie whities?”
Oscar – “Is that even how you spell tightie whities?”

My Blueberry Nights
Jodie – “Tomorrow … we’re having muffins!”
Courtney – “Blueberry ones!”

Deception
Oscar – “Lies … all lies.”

Pineapple Express
Courtney – “Oh, this is what happens to all those freaks and geeks after they graduate from high school.”

Jodie – “Geez, banana. Shut your freakin’ gob.”

Redbelt
Jimison – “That trailer made no sense. Stop trying to figure it out.”

[skipped … duh]

The Incredible Hulk
Everyone (except Jimison, who is still sick from the last Hulk movie) – “Yay!”

There were full couches at tonight’s trailer showings … Nathan, Tyler, Courtney, Jimison and yours truly. Enjoy the goodness!

Michelle and I decided to paint some books tonight while watching You’ve Got Mail (somewhat silly, I know) … this one goes out to “Evil Annie” … who has been waiting on something from me for a long long time now.

Here’s to hairy mammoth’s and their sincere love and hoping that “Evil Annie” is reading this and will email me about confirming her address again.

Love!

Giant Man Baby – Site (uploaded by DRA Studio)

I just finished implementing the new CSS stylesheet for Jason’s new video company site, Giant Man Baby Productions. I was given a logo created by a friend (Andrew Sale) and tagline … then pretty much ran with it.

I really feel that this design is going to be a lot of fun. It is simple clean and as soon we get some free time, adding in the Flash touches will make it really sweet.

This project is going to involve some really great guys, so I’d definitely recommend that you stay tuned and keep checking it for more of their entertaining videos.

Oh and props to Jodie for suggesting the nice touch of a tie to the whole man baby icon.

Substance – Black n White (uploaded by DRA Studio)

A preliminary design of shirt artwork for Justin Pressly. The early black and white version, though the design did start in my Physical vs. Digital sketchbook.

iPod Love Bag (uploaded by DRA Studio)

If you’re like me, you have fallen in love again with iPods … especially the new touch. How simply wonderful, though direct downloads could prove to be pretty dangerous for impulse music lovers.

Here is one of the shots of the iPod pattern I painted on Courtney’s old Fossil purse. Click thru for more.
