Well its official! My Scarborough Fair Illustration is finally up.

Thursday, April 1st, 2010

*phew. I was starting to fear for the worst, but when in doubt, click refresh!!! For all of you that do not know, I have redrawn the Scarborough fair map and it looks like the new website, of which I was supposed to accompany, is up as well!

Click to see it here.

A big shout out to Jeannine and Jason over at Quicksilver Interactive Group for making this all possible for me! I spent 100+ hours on the illustration, and a simple PDF download just does not do the artwork justice. I literally rendered each building out using Newtek’s Lightwave package at a whopping 300+ DPI equivalent. So for you math nerds out there, that at 4000+ by 4000+ resolution! The map is supposed to be at four locations at the fair grounds, so be on the lookout.

And if you see anyone lost because of the map, you don’t know me. :-)

I hate you Newtek

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

Newtek once again disappointed me after releasing their monthly newsletter.

For those of you who are aware, Newtek is in the middle of developing their latest and greatest Lightwave successor, CORE.  Although they have been promising all of the bells and whistles found in modern day 3D rendering packages such as Maya or 3d Studio, Newtek seems to have only been promising rather than delivering.

So, with your sentiments, and our dedication to shipping a solid, tested, and stable software application – we have made the decision to move our originally expected ship date from Q1 2010 to later in the year. We will communicate to you the most accurate expected ship date once we have entered the full BETA and testing process for LightWave with CORE Technology.

Originally, the software was slated for September, and then they pushed the date over to q1.  Now, Newtek says “later this year.”  What ?

…Well at least Newtek entered into “full” BETA – whatever the heck that means.

If you are reading this, Newtek, which I hope you are, listen to what I am about to say.  I LOVE your product.  I’m probably the last person on the face of this planet that actually does.  I am for the direction you are going, but I highly suggest not doing it at the expense of your customers and/or price point.  I just used your software for a project which made my clients very very happy and wish to use it further.  Please don’t let me down.

And by the way, Newtek…I hate you.

Wine Glass Illustration

Sunday, October 18th, 2009

I thought I might post this illustration somewhere as I can’t really use it in anything.  I was playing around with some concepts for a client the other day and decided that it probably wasn’t the best idea to make my client look like an alcohol commercial.  However, I thought the glass looked pretty good.
