Adventures in Print Scanning, Part Trois

So, as some of you may know, I’m no longer relying on my not-so-awesome scanner to create product pics for the prints. Instead, I’ve opted to use the Texturizer filter on Photoshop (or on GIMP) to achieve a similar effect with more true-to-life colors. So far, so good.
But yesterday I wanted to experiment a little [...]

Website updates!

So, I finally took the plunge and decided to re-do the website. I used iWeb this time instead of Dreamweaver and needless to say things went MUCH faster.
I did have some hesitation about using iWeb mainly because I couldn’t figure out how to properly do my product pages within the program. However, once I decided [...]

New business cards!

So today I’ve been thinking a lot about stepping things up a notch–as in working on my branding, packaging, and everything else in addition to my usual obsession with making cute stuff. Not only have I been contemplating a name change to reflect where I see the brand heading, I also whipped up some lovely [...]

Adventures in Print Scanning

Boy, did I have a tough time yesterday. I spent the bulk of the evening figuring out ways to photograph and/or present prints for product pics. It certainly didn’t sound like something that would turn out to be so difficult.

I know most husbands give things like candy or flowers for Valentine’s Day, but I’ve been wanting Guitar Hero for a long time and it really was the perfect gift! What’s [...]

Man hands!

I sure hope you guys are Seinfeld fans because, otherwise, the title of this post does seem a little weird. Basically, in this episode of Seinfeld, Jerry finds himself dating an attractive woman who seems to have oddly large “man hands”.
Imagine my surprise when, magically, my usually normal-sized hands morph into gigantic man hands when [...]

More photos & observations of the iMac

Well here I am again, just an hour or two after I last gushed about my juicy new Apple iMac. I must say that the difference between working on a laptop and working on a desktop is really like night and day. For the last two years or so, my primary computer has been a [...]

New Mac!

Pics coming soon–I’m just so darn excited! We just picked it up about an hour ago and I’m having an awesome time setting up my new, gigantic, shiny, gorgeous 20-inch iMac. I can’t wait to start working on this baby! I’ve been doing all of my illustrations on my teeny tiny iBook G4’s 12-inch screen [...]
