Meet Programmer Steve

Steve does NOT buy Iphones and give into proprietary software hype. You'll see Steve piping BASH scripts in his favorite flavor of Linux and chatting it up with all the ladies in IRC chat! (lookin' in your direction Emma Watson of the famous Harry Potter series. *WINK)



Hey... If you look like this guy, you may have mad PHP and actionscript 3.0 skills!!!

and if you do, we may need your help/free advice on our new cartoon website launch coming up soon. Shout out! Drop us a line if you are generous with your time and fit the profile. Thanks in advance.

Chris Allison drew this great character with nice funny shapes in the design. So I decided I had to ink it as practice. Lemme know what you all think of how I hacked up Chris' drawing.

P.S.:
Although I'm starting to see some cool potential with making flash cartoons and games using Adobe Illustrator...I still hate Illustrator and pass gas in its general direction.

MORE IDIOTS! bird and elephant.

I spent more time with Illustrator CS3. I'm getting the hang of the gradients now. not incredibly fast at it, but i have it down to an effective pace and fairly accurate. I'm convinced that my methods are not industry time tested standards. As I'm off the pen tool and now exclusively messing with the brush tool with a pressure sensitive Wacom tablet. I have pretty good coordination with a tablet, so it seems to work out pretty effectively for me, and allows me the intuitive thick-think variation without too much tweaking.

anywho, look at these IDIOTS!

Idiot Gator Struggles in Illustrator

Here's a drawin' of Idiot! The brilliant scientist gator of Guadalajara.
I've been teaching myself illustrator...and with a touch of help from Ryan Kramer.
Here's a little sketch I fooled around with...and didn't get caught!



the program is a real bitch. can't wrap my mind around some of its work flow and tools. AND gradients....don't get me started on gradients!
I hear CS3 is pretty nice overall though. but discussing the beauty and functionality of the CS3 suite is for another day.
Well, enjoy this idiot and have a great one.

with love,

so me and the old ball n' chain are getting a new apartment together and we're gonna do a "tiki/hawaii" themed bathroom. I wanted to put similar caricatures of us in every room, so I'll hafta keep posting as I finish em. I'm open to suggestions!
BTW, this doesn't count as 'interior decorating' does it??
