Advertising + Design > Cost + Learning Curve
Posted by Rey
In recent years, Apple’s done a fair share of designing pretty products (if not hardware wise the best products) and have substantially increased their exposure to the public with product placement (they’re in Best Buy and Apple Stores) and advertising (no more pretentious posters: now we have the PC Guy vs. the Mac). In all this, Apple’s prices haven’t dropped so much to equate with a PC (that usually gives you more hardware wise). Also, Apple hasn’t bothered much with training in their products beyond the nearest Apple Store Genius but all in all it’s paid off.Apple is now the third largest computer seller in the United States, bumping Acer to Fourth.

Posted by Rey
Some of you may already know of Scott Roche’s audio novel Archangel which he’s been linking to on his site. Planning to make content available on iTunes he wanted some sort of artwork to highlight the feel of his book and he was hoping to incorporate wings or a feather. I opted to focus on the grit and leave the winged/angelic figure as a stamp on the life of the title (and thus title character). Artwork after the jump.

MakeUp Your Mind
Posted by Rey
As a designer I find that sometimes I get really snooty about things that deal with color and structure even if it’s an area that I know very little about. I may not have that certain finesse to thematically tie a room together, but I’ll tell you what colors look right on the walls. That being the case, I’m going to post some info on makeup.

Posted by Rey
I decided to start painting again. My buddy the Greek proved to be an inspiration as well as the likes of Gurney and my old illustrator buddy Robert Accornero. Below you’ll see an animated gif of a very bad early stage of a painting (first acrylic painting in a decade for me) and here’s a link to my photobucket for more pix.Testpig Melancholia

Rey’s Dream Doodles: Speedball
Posted by Rey
This is one of those that someone will think “what is wrong with this kid?”. A while back I figured the best way to break into comics was by taking a really stupid character and making him/her cool so I started researching. When I found Speedball I figured that a character couldn’t get any stupider but then I actually found myself liking him. I’ll include a thumbnail that links to a full size image and a medium sample that will be on the page for those who don’t want to bother.Read the rest of this entry »
