One of my really good friends Shane Acuff has been drawing amazing things all his life. 4 years ago he decided he should get paid to do what he loves so he started doing tattoos. His tattoos are some of the best artwork I’ve seen. Naturally I had to do his website for him. He works out of Arizona (Phoenix Area) and Maryland (Frederick Area). Check out some of his stuff at: http://shaneacuff.com

My girlfriend got a traditional style sparrow tattoo on each shoulder by Shane Acuff. As I watched him tattoo her I noticed all of the shading and detail that he put into it so I tried to duplicate the effects in Photoshop. There are probably more efficient ways then what I did but I learned a lot about shading playing around with this and other projects that came from this.

My buddy Sean loves bikes. He loves taking bike parts and making awesome custom bikes. He asked me to put together a website for him and I think it came out pretty well. CoasterBrakeCustoms.com

In February 2011 I will have been Vegan for 11 years. The main reason I’m vegan is because I think our society is civilized to a point where it is unnecessary to consume or use animals products to maintain health. While I was practicing my pen tool skills I made this little A.L.F. (Animal Liberation Front) inspired vegan illustration.

For this site I used Ruby on Rails as the framework along with the Substruct Rails Engine. I also threw jQuery and jQueryUI in for some neat animation effects for the shopping cart and product views. If the site is still up you can check it out at http://137clothing.com.

My local and undying love for the Phoenix Suns means there are two teams I don’t like: The San Antonio Spurs and The Los Angeles Lakers. During the playoffs, I created this design and silkscreened some shirts so I could show my support and hatred at the same time.

A family friend is starting a business using a new style of psychology treatment. Although I don’t understand exactly what they are doing I was able to help make business cards for them. The symbol used is called Cho Ku Rei and is related to Reiki.

Before my buddy Sean pimped my bike out it looked like this. Heavy Duti Schwinn made sometime in the 90′s.

Here are some speakers I made in Photoshop.
