Customize My Designs.Com – Exercise your creativity!

One of the most satisfying things for me as someone who creates graphics, is to see those graphics on a commercial product. Normally the cost of doing that is too much for those of us that are not in the printing industry, not any more. I’ve developed an online designer tool to allows you to [...]

Music is Art – Forever Evolving

I had made a mistake when creating the above image. It should have read “music is art, forever evolving” but the more I thought about it, the more I liked the way it came out. Since music can create so much in us, it’s fitting that it is ‘life’. Albert Einstein said he loved music [...]

DesignArt – The Color of Diverse Design

Design, art, graphics – things I could not do until computers came along. Armed with a computer the sky is the limit for me. And having a talent for the creative, and the intellect for technology (left and right brained), the sky is the limit. There is so much opportunity to venture into different realms [...]

Information Technology and Security

Information technology and information security are my fields of expertise, and I have the pleasure of working within those fields as a career. The abstract thought process and mix of technical knowledge make it almost like play time. Thinking outside the box is outmoded – you have to think even more abstract since you are [...]

Web Technologies and Design

Technology and design go hand in hand, for me. I have developed an online apparel designer – a web application – and I’m not an engineer. This goes to show that it’s not out of the grasp of anyone that uses a computer, assuming you are interested of course. The good thing is there are [...]

Inspiration and Genius – One and the Same

“Inspiration and Genius – One and the Same” – Albert Einstein. I’m struck by the thought (or misconception) that being both left and right brained is unusual. It is just another state of being. Einstein was left and right brained, and some say he was bordering on insanity – or was it that people didn’t [...]

    Evil Shield Grunge Vector

    I’m going to have to fly more, since I get time (and inspiration) when I’m flying to come up with some really good graphics, as you can see here. I’m enjoying mixing and matching different vectors, especially colorful ones and the results you can see here. Here’s the SEO plug – like you didn’t expect [...]

    Imagination and Expression

    IMAGINATION AND EXPRESSION Imagination and expression are such unreal words in our real world. Take a trip through imagination accomplished visually through surreal based design, and mentally through drifted thought. It is and idea; it is a concept; it is an opinion, nothing more and nothing less. In this case it’s called “Imagination and the [...]

  • Priorities Over Passion

    Priorities over passion – do we have time? I was reading through some blogs that I like to follow and I came across an article about a social experiment about perception, taste and priorities of people. It’s a testament to the times – a friend called it ‘priorities over passion’ on his blog. I’ll let [...]

    Auna – coming soon!

    Auna – the next album is in process – coming soon – time permitting! I’ve started writing the next album and it’s very interesting to see where the musical style is going. I might have to write more than one album if the styles diversify the way they are right now. That’s not a bad [...]

    “Find a job you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.” – Confucius Worthy of a mention since it is the truth – auspicious in it’s taunting manner for those that don’t have that in their career – a goal to aim for – a wish or crazy dream. If you are [...]

  • My Apparel Designer is Finished!

    Finally – my apparel designer is done! It is fully functional now that all the fonts have been fixed, and it’s ready to go. I’m open to ideas about how to dress the site a little better, but I’m hoping that most people are only interested in designing and purchasing their product. That being said, [...]

  • Gothic Angel

    Gothic Angel

    How about this for a diverse image? It’s Gothic, it’s angelic, it’s grunge, it’s confused but it’s a busy and very active design. I got caught up in this one and could not complete it – it took over a week of going back to it to get it right. Any who – here’s the [...]

  • Egyptian Skull – grunge with flare

    Egyptian Skull – grunge with flare

    This Egyptian grunge skull is somewhat horror like, and somewhat – well – regal. It’s a fantasy mix that I labored over for over a week. I don’t know what got hung up on designing this, but I finally got past the block. Any who – here’s the SEO plug: Egyptian skull gifts, t-shirts and [...]

  • Abstract Skull – new and colorful!

    Abstract Skull – new and colorful!

    Here’s a grunge style skull design that hot off the artboard. This was a hard one to complete. I tried many variations in how to frame the background and not take away from the image. I got it in the end but it took a couple of days longer than normal. Any who – here’s [...]

  • Gothic Wings – the latest grunge design

    Gothic Wings – the latest grunge design

    Here’s the latest, hot-off-the-press design. I’ve included elements across a couple of styles to achieve this look. There is Gothic, grunge, abstract, tattoo and a little horror mixed in, and the effect (in my humble opinion) is quite dramatic. So, as always, here’s the SEO plug: Goth wings t-shirts, gifts and more I have a [...]

  • Design Trilogy – Heart Skull

    Design Trilogy – Heart Skull

    Wow – I’m really on a roll with this one – third in a row of the tattoo style, grunge skull designs. This one took under an hour and I had a lot of fun creating it. This time I decided not to use any text with it, but there can be text if needed [...]

  • New Design – Gun Skull

    New Design – Gun Skull

    Here’s the latest in the tattoo design, and it’s got attitude! I wasn’t sure where this one was going but I love where it ended up. It’s another eclectic mix of grunge vectors, with some creative font work and a little aging with a white mesh overlay. This one took two days to complete, mainly [...]
