Some more sketches in my stash that I scanned and uploaded. Been working on a new design and idea for my blog. Working on a way and combining all the social media outlets I use here on this blog. Stay tuned…

As promised from about a year ago here are a couple songs from back in my rapping days. I know I have some more and will be digging for them to post them here.

Here is my first preliminary sketch of the new design… looks a little confusing but my ideas were running wild. Not sure if all elements will make it but this at least gets my ideas flowing.

Starting from square one again. I starting picking out design elements that would go into this new website design piece and it seemed like I was too literal with my choices and the pieces I was picking were too fabricated. So here we go again hopefully I can meet my own deadline.

Ha! I set aside 30 minutes to begin my design process for my new layout. Getting really excited about it. I start out almost every design on paper first. Seems it gives me a boundless amount of space for ideas to spill out on the page before I meet any computer restrictions.

Will continue to keep you posted.

Well here I go putting my foot in my mouth hopefully so I have some sort of accountability. I am looking to launch a new design for this website by February 15th, the day after valentines. The reason I am choosing that date is because on February 14th, 1998 is when I assumed my first business name for doing graphic design. The name was (don’t laugh). Pearly Gate Graphics, then when I moved to Kingsville I joined forces with a video editor and that changed to Nowtyme Graphics and Video. Some time later we broke ways and I started Tri-Omni Graphics (my former website domain, now this site). After learning web design with my current partner we formed Echo Design Solutions (San Antonio Web Design). So February 14th, 11 years ago marks my business beginnings.

Now I had to announce the new design so you guys can hold me to it if it is not done. I am really going to try to get it done by then with a different artsy feel to it. Feel free to nudge me, twitter or facebook me if I am not done by then.

I was shooting a video for my old job and I didn’t know that my son grabbed the microphone for the camera. In my office all I could here was him chanting some lyrics (in another language). I quickly grabbed the camera, shot and edited this:

They grow up too fast!!!

I would so drive to Houston for this. I grew up watching this movie and I am still trying to master the glow. See the video below or go the the link Alamo Draft House “The Last Dragon”. This movie rocks!

I created a video from various clips to the tune of Adam’s Family theme song. Turned out pretty good.
