Graphics Part 2
Tech Design
Illustrations
Most of my original schematics and blueprint work was from the pleistocene age. Not many of those pen and paper designs have been scanned. Here are a few computer generated works found at random on my drive. The site map is what I always thought site maps should look like when you click the 'site map' button. The audio and video hookups were actual attempts to diagram a home installation. In actual practice they were changed (out of necessity) but never documented.

Comedic Relief
The workplace sign is self-explanatory, something I was going to post at work for reasons unremembered. The elixir was created for a site in Scotland and I never got around to posting. Hmmm, I don't remember that site name either. As for the "professor"--you try to get him to sit still for a screen capture. He goes away every time.

Original Artwork
Despite the presence of a graphics pad most of my sketches, like the tech drawings, are waiting to be scanned into my computer. I have managed a few digital drawings though. Madcow, or more correctly, mad bull was just a little excursion inspired by Boston Legal perhaps. The castle sketch only proved to me that I still like paper; it's just tough to draw on a pad that is an extension of the screen. Schramek, a local DJ and hero, was created from a photo. Witness:

Signage & Logo
Various experiments with banner type web-site signage, most of them involving embossing effects.

I haven't had much call to work on logos although I have a vast collection of those I admire. A couple I have played with I include here. The first was a bricks logo from a former life. The second I kept around because I imagined that it could be worked into an M.C. Escher type illusion fairly easily; alas, I've never gotten around to trying. I created it with isometric graph paper which is one of my favorite drawing tools for illustrative sketches.
