Under the Sea!
So it looks like this job is done pending client approval. I want to thank Luis Moreno luismorenoart.com for including me on the project, it was lots of fun working together. In total, I probably put 30-40 hours into this project. These panals are going to be fit around an above ground pool. It is very satisfying seeing all of the work together instead of panel by panel. There was a lot of research and planning involved in this project but with some creative ideas we were able to make it look easy. I am looking forward to doing more murals like this! The amount of painting experience gained from this project is priceless.

Business Card Progress
Ok. After coming to the realization that the last business cards I posted are trash, the gears began to spin. I had an epiphany one night last week to use this painted texture I made in Corel as a background for my card. My goal was to keep in the theme of the colors on my website, but also make it clear that I am an animator and designer. I tried to use my color theory to push the text into a realm of semi-3D. After I decided on using Infomatic as a brand tool, I made the choice to run with those colors to go on top of the bg for consistency. I think I might have scored on this one. I still have some composition issues and I might swap the fonts for something a little more custom, but I think I may be on to something here...
