Blogunists

We have this blog that we use at work to keep all of the students and staff up to date on important University happenings that we may receive a lot of questions about. Back in the day, I used to be one of the primary contributors, both in writing the posts and maintaining the site. As of this semester, I've pretty much taken a back seat to let someone else have a stab at it. For a couple of years we had this really generic template in place that I threw together in Photoshop. It was yellow and green Mason colors with photos of the campus, the Johnson Center...it was pretty fucking lame. Now that it's in new hands, we figured we'd redesign the look a bit to match the current "theme" we have going on at work. The theme is "The J-Team" and we deck out all of our shit with A-Team or military style decor. The current show runner assembled the one that's in place at the moment, but he asked me if I wanted to contribute anything. I had grand plans of a propaganda styled background, but I couldn't get it to work out in a way that I was happy with. I cobbled together the left over assets I'd made into this half assed monstrosity:



It's entirely too busy and confusing. Graphic design is not something I have any talent for, though it is something I'm constantly wanting to research and improve upon. Anyway, I was supposed to leave work 5 minutes ago, so I'm shutting the fuck up.

I guess if we ever get around to redesigning the Bombunists site, I've got a load of assets we can use in a pinch.

Here's a tarzan looking dude I drew... (while driving in rush hour traffic on 395)



and this was some sort of concept I was working on of the "R&D lab at the Scudco factory" I think I was originally hoping if I came up with some really inventive, I would make a very well crafted version that I would submit it to Rob in the far flung hope of getting it printed in the pin up gallery of the new Scud book. after a few minutes, I gave up on it.

Stumptown

Margaret and I went to the Stumptown Comics Fest this past weekend. Above is simply an artist's rendition of an actual exchange of dialog at said fest.
