My New Illo/Art Blog

February 2nd, 2007

Creative Kung FuI’ve created a sister blog to wirelad.com, creativekungfu.com. This blog also features portfolios of my illustration and fine art- oriented work. Check it frequently for new pieces fresh off the easel… kind of a “hot art now” sign for the information superhighway.

ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive Project Blog

January 29th, 2007

Since I love animation, image-making, and traditionalist techniques therin, imagine the jaw-droppin’ around my house when I encountered this blog. Here is an excerpt from the ASIFA mission statement:

The International Animated Film Society: ASIFA-Hollywood has embarked on an ambitious project to expand the offerings of the current ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Center in Burbank to include a virtual archive, museum, library and research facility for the benefit of the animation community, students and general public. The first step in achieving our goals involves the establishment of a computer system capable of documenting, cataloging, and retrieving images and sounds related to the art of animation.

Make sure to enjoy the “Polly and Her Pals Strips,” but also scroll past these to dig the Maxfield Parrish illustrations from The Arabian Nights.

Last Halloween the season inspired me to pay tribute to the “Horror Chiller Theatre” shows that use to grace local airwaves around the country. This is an example of an Elevator Channel promo I made at the time.

One of my favorites from the Elevator Channel promos was this, my homage to Chuck “What’s Opera, Doc?” Jones.

A large part of my experience in digital design hails from my stint at the Elevator Channel. One of my favorite ongoing tasks there was to create short, highly visible, highly stylized spots promoting the channel itself.As I continue to build my online portfolio, I thought i’d give you a look at some of those spots.

The First Post…

June 16th, 2006

Hi and welcome to my blog. The focus here will be creative design and arts, and the myriad of elements in the universe that contribute thereupon.

While wirelad.com is all about the digital media, the Wirelad blog brings more to the table– the arts, projects, and interests that characterize our work. In other words, good stuff from all around.
