Personal Journey

I just created a new Flickr Account, and I’m looking in ways to integrate it with my blog, but at this moment I have little time, so when I have some more spare time I will work on it.

I created the flickr account just to show friends and families photos of my travels, and anyone that might be interested.  Well, you can click on the photoblog link in the navigation, or you can just click on the flickr logo to look at my photos.

Enjoy

Underwater Scene

Well, a couple of months back, I was a bit bored, and I decided to build a underwater scene.  Not sure for what purpose, but I needed to do something different.  The technique that I used is I grabbed 3 images, and I used specific elements of them to build this underwater scene.  I do plan in the future to improve on these skills, but once I have some more time.

Well, now that I got my blog site done, I’m starting to upgrade my skills for AS3. I need to improve my Object Oriented Programming skills, so that I can create advanced levels of flash sites, unfortunately being a designer, I need to have knowledge of some programming languages. For me to find a good developer who would help me out is extremely difficult. So I have to only depend on myself for it.

Batman Strikes DC Comics

Well this is my second post, and I decided to put a comic book cover that I illustrated a couple of years ago, while I was studying at George Brown College.  This was  a project that the students had to make an illustration of their choice, and their method of Choice.  Well I decided to try good old Adobe Illustrator, and got this result.  I hope it’s to people’s liking.

Well, finally I have to say. Ufff……After 3 long months with sleep deprivation, I finally got my blog site done. Well I could have just stuck with a basic boring default theme, or even a theme done by others, but you know, I’m a designer so I’m always up to the challenge to do something my way.

I have planned to create a personal blog site, intended to post my ideas, and also most important my creative work, that isn’t really for specific clients, but more personal. I love to be designing, and experimenting, it’s like I’m back to my childhood. And now, I don’t have an excuse to say, umm…why should I create extra work for myself, because now I can keep on posting my creative fuels, and I can actually get feedback in my work. Bear with me, I don’t have any work yet, but soon enough I will have it. It takes time for me to go thru my work, and selecting the correct ones, and then cropping and prepping it to upload it.

Now about my portfolio site, I know I’ve been a bit behind it, actually my portfolio site was supposed to come out first, before my blog site, but you know, priorities change, or time management changes. It will take me much quicker to code a wordpress blog than a full AS3 OOP flash website. Yes it’s flash, because I work with flash, and I’m supposed to put my skills in my site. This will be a huge undertaking, but I’m confident that I will achieve it, hopefully not killing myself in the process.

Ahh one more thing, unfortunately because of the complexity of this site, yes, its complex, and I did not develop for Internet Explorer 6 and below. Unfortunately IE6 does not support PNG files, and because of this site is only viewable with IE7 and above, or Firefox which is the best browser out there. Opera, Safari, and Chrome, yes the new Chrome a quick little puppy.

If you see any bugs, please report it, it’s really hard for me to catch everything, if you do see one, please go to the contact page, and submit your bug.

Well I’m signing off, but I will be back soon with more material.
