Worship-o-Meter

So one sunday my friend Brian was talking and said the words, "it's not like there's such a thing as a Worship o Meter". Then I just thought about what a Worship o meter would look like, what company would make it, and what store would carry it?

so here's a vintage ad for the worship o meter. and a close up the meter itself.

AWESOME!! MY FOOTBALL CARDS ARE OUT!!!!

Finally! Topps finally put out the 2008 football cards so i can FINALLY show off the cards i designed!!!!!!

i designed all the cards for the "NFL DYNASTIES" set. they showcase dynasty teams (including of course the awesome Patriots,*which i designed first:P*)

and they come 4 different ways theres a
1. base card= the plain version, its still a insert but not worth much.
2. auto = same card as the base BUT has the players autograph on it.
3. relic= same as the base, but has a piece of the jersey embedded in the card.
4. auto relic= has a piece of jersey AND a autograph

so same as the baseball series here are my 3 designs i did for the set the 3rd card being the one they picked. *Only the LAST one is the one they picked*



and here's what they ended up as.....pretty much how i designed it but they shortened the super bowl dates, so instead of 2001, its just 01. liked it better 2001 but, w/e

plz excuse the quality of the pics below i grabbed em from Ebay, cuz im too lazy to scan in the ones i got at work today...and i only got a Ronnie Lott and Jerry Rice. still waiting on the Brady




cheers,

Tom Brady REJECTED?!?!?! R U SERIOUS?!?

Well, here's the Tom Brady Tribute cards i did, that WERE approved and ready to go....until the Pats lost the super bowl.

apparently you can break all the offense records and go undefeated, end up 18-1..and they stiff Brady on the "you rule card"........ugh. it hurts even writing about it.

so here's the cards that were gonna be put out.....sucks cuz i really dug designing them and i wanted to see how they ended up

Flash Competition

so felix, beckett, and i started a flash competition cuz i really wanted to learn flash and nothing makes me learn more than getting ur face smushed in by your 2 friends that know flash way more than you do.

so we started out simple for me. the first round is shapes only, no people animation, etc etc. just shapes.

so i thought about it and the coolest thing i know that just has shapes in it is....well here see for yourself.

*note* starts off slow, but stick with it, it gets alittle better. also plz be gentle i've only used flash for a week, so this is a weeks knowledge of flash.

as the competition gets harder hopefully i'll get better *fingers crossed*

HIT THE LINK TO SEE MY FLASH ANIMATION!
