For those still paying attention (bet you're glad you signed up for that RSS feed) I've done an overhaul of the portfolio section so you can see what I've been up to for the last two years besides not updating my blog. Here's to a happy, healthy and, um, something else good that starts with "h" 2008!

Just in time for... er, that is, way too late for Christmas, here are some screengrabs showing a few titles and spot illustrations I did for the Denis Leary Xmas Special that aired on Comedy Central over the holidays. I didn't post a screengrab of my credit at the end because I am far too modest. Also my Tivo stopped recording just before my name came up.

Good news for nerds! At the suggestion of the Cardhouse Donut Robot, this web log is now available via RSS feed at feed://www.rotodesign.com/roto.xml. Enjoy!

Just in time for Halloween, I've collaborated with Mr. Chank Diesel of Chank.com on an OpenType revamp of several popular Rotodesign fonts. Come take a look at the Helloween Fontpak! Unlike the old free versions, these new fonts have proper punctuation, professional kerning and a variety of contextual alternates, which is great for folks who are using OpenType-friendly apps like InDesign for layout. So if you're one of those people who loved these fonts, but were unable to use them for corporate projects or letters to granny because they didn't have commas and dashes and dollar signs and such, your lucky day has arrived!

Just finished designing a whole bunch of new stuff for the good people at Norton Records! Two 7" singles, a vinyl LP and a CD, all of which make wonderful Xmas gifts. Get out your checkbook!

Testing, 1-2-3... is this thing on? Okay, several years after promising a redesign, here it is. The delay is partly because I'm not a Flash whiz, partly because I threw out a million different rough designs before sort of settling on this one, and partly because I've been keeping busy offline, doing ads, CD art and book design (check out the portfolio for samples) and a million other real-life-related tasks. This exciting new "blog" feature should allow me to post new junk and jot down ideas more frequently without having to do any fancy programming. That's the plan, anyway. I'm not the type for diary-type posts about my feelings, but should I have a feeling, I'll be sure to share it with you, my internet friends.

Anyway, welcome to the new digs, feel free to drop me a line via the contact link above if you'd like to send praise, money, gifts, job offers, naked photos, etcetera. If you have any angry hate mail or criticism, please send it to Santa Claus, and he will switch my gifts for coal.
