My Three Quarter Career Retrospective

Image
Hello again. As many of you may know, I have the luxury of having a pretty awesome career in design. It wasn’t always this way. It certainly was not my original intent, but as they say “wanna make God laugh, make a plan!” If you’ve been following this blog, you have read my thoughts regarding my 1 st  10 years in this business, my evolution into a design leader for major consumer product brands, and my recent revelation that some of my fan art had been used 20 years ago in the 2 nd  Spider-Man movie. I’m not going to re-hash that topic again. I deleted my posts, and I’m done talking about it. I said I’m glad I could shrug that experience off, and I’m officially closing the topic. That said, I always had a complicated relationship with comics. I have been a fan since I was a child, and I always wanted to draw comics for a living. As I got much older, I realized that “making a living in comics” and “paying my bills and being a grown up” were two very incompatible states of exist...

Samsung Galaxy Tab Review

Image
I bought a Galaxy Tab about 3 weeks ago. I've had the chance to use it "in the wild" for a while. The main question I get asked about it is " why buy this device and not an ipad "? The 1st answer is that I travel a lot. Having a device that's small enough to fit into my pocket is optimal. I carry this thing with me everywhere. I'm writing this blog post on it thanks to the Blogger app for Android. The device is more like a big phone than a "small ipad". The main attribute I've noticed is that I get a lot of stares using this thing. I take it with me when I go to the store with my wife or to meetings at work. People are definitely curious about it. I'm writing this from a hospital waiting room; people are kinda craning their necks to get a look at the thing I'm pecking away on. It ships with Android 2.2 and did a quick sys update when I powered it on. This is my first Android device and I have to say its a bit of a weird change f...

The Why of it All

At our 3rd Quarter Meeting last week, our Chief Creative Officer asked all of us at LPK to figure out individually "Why we do what we do". I didn't take long to figure out my reason: I do what I do because I'm intensely curious and I love a challenge. I never planned to get into what I do for a living; life just kinda' took me in that direction. However, in many ways, I've been doing the same thing since I was 12 years old. The only difference between now and then is that I've added skills and have gotten better at what I do along the way. And my client list has grown along the way too. So far in my pro career I've done a combination of all of these jobs: • Comic Book Artist • Comic Book Publisher • Photographer's Assistant/Darkroom Tech • Graphic Designer • Storyboard Artist • Commercial Illustrator • Photo Retouching • Consumer Product Concepts • Consumer Product Designer • Motion Graphics • Instructor • Who the hell knows next… I love waking up...
