The Imagination Reserve



After what seems like forever in stagnation, I re-did almost every single page, added new ones, removed ones that sucked, and went for a straight up coffee table art book. 32 photo pages are finished, aiming for 40-50, plus pages for other things such as hand drawn art and text.

The Imagination Reserve

The link again in case its too sneaky up top

Revised design. Took this in a different direction artistically and took some good advice along the way. Re-inked to have weightier strokes, re-colored to be more neutral up top (thanks for that suggestion Sonmi) and more vibrant below, and a new tee color because spring is in the air. Also removed the clashing halftone sun burst.

I was just talking to my friend about e-mail spam. He was saying he wished it was never invented because he hates having to check his spam folder just in case something goes there accidentally, but you know what?

Ever since e-mail spam came out Ive gotten almost no real mail spam. Thats right! E-spam is saving the environment!

So go ahead, e-mail me a free masters degree, a bigger penis, a cheap classy woman to raise my spirits, and $3,000,000 from the south african lottery (all actually in my spam folder right now). Here's to you, Jake Leslie, Lourdes Fitch, Samanth B Sexton, "Sex For Drugs" and all you other upstanding environmentalists. Take a viagra on me.

If you use a flash presentation you will be penalized in score for the following:

An animated intro that lasts more than 3 seconds will bring your score down 1 point unless its really well done. Note that this is on top of the loading screen.

An animated intro that lasts 10 seconds or more will lose you 2 pts no matter what, unless you take me on a disney quality adventure.

Unavoidable sound effects or music will lose you at least 1 pt. Volume and length will factor into just how many points you lose. If your sound effect hurts my ears because I'm listening to music in my computer headphones while I score designs (something I find relaxing), I will be inclined to give you a 0 out of spite, though I may not if you're lucky and talented enough.

You have been warned.

So I did this design for a company 2.5 years ago, and at the time it was way outside my norm...using halftones and neons and offsets and typography...and it finally got printed up for sale and it just made me happy because so often I do these designs for smaller companies that never come to fruition...anyway here is a link to check it out

Brain Food

I know this got a pretty awesome score, but I've gotten enough 3's to know it means very little in regard to my work being printed here...I was thinking, though, that with it being nearly 1 month since it finished that it might benefit from a fresher coat of paint. I originally designed it for a site that has much more limited printing options, and think it could benefit from the available options here. What do you gals and guys think?

That's my new slogan. You should vote for it. Its all I got.

...$951 just to walk in. Then another $500ish for doctor, medicine and ekg fees. Thats not counting the other $100 I spent at the second doctor that actually figured out what was wrong with me and got me treatment. Its times like this that I keep checking my e-mail hoping for a mi-mail.

Oh, and about my account being deleted...that was a combination of medical problems and the medicine I was on to treat them. I haven't exactly been myself for a while.

I haven't made much recently, and with my health being a douche bag to me, probably not much coming up, but here are two designs I did in December, but hadn't subbed.

Haven't slept in 24 hours...spent the night hooked up to stupid stuff...life is dumb

I am going to try to sleep now.
