I managed to swing a nice retouch for the “Gifts Your Trashy Girlfriend Can Afford” spread in the 2nd issue of Wrecked Magazine:

I launched the new Slide Style™ website today. Since I have been stuck in bed unable to do anything with my shattered collarbone, it gave me a chance to get everything up online. It’s awesome to see a complete catalog of the things we’ve made over the years.

The first Slide Style™ deck came in today! It’s awesome to see something go from screen, to printed wood. This was really just a test run, to see how it would turn out… which was a bit darker than I designed. Overall, the quality is great!
I finished designing the first lineup of Slide Style™ decks!
Not only did the guys at S3 Magazine allow my car to grace their cover… they handed the layout and retouch task off to me. Overall, I’m very pleased with the result! Big thanks to Dosa Kim for the sick firebird illustration on the hood! And to Carlos Richard for the photo for the cover!!

I launched the new Slide America website today! The new site has a ton of new content, and turned out to be a very cool site!
I spent a few minutes on a retouch of a great photo from Formula Drift Atlanta last weekend.
If you’re the photographer who took this… please e-mail me – I want to give credit where credit is due. :)

We got the proof back for the Slide America disc art today. We are going to run the discs using both matte and gloss black inks. It will look like a spot UV, but with actual inks. I’m super excited to see how these turn out!
The magenta represents where the matte black will be screened.
I finished up the final cover for Slide America! This is the final artwork to appear on the DVD that drops in next month.
Some new techniques I’ve been messing with on a picture I shot of the rig all suited up with battle armor. What started out as a simple retouch, turned into a nice composite!

What started out as a simple retouch for a sticker, turned into an all out Photoshop-a-thon. It was kinda cool applying some of the techniques I learned through doing retouching for Vanity Fair at work.
Thanks to Joey Redmond, for snapping the original photo.
This is going to be the sticker that will double as my new business card.

I’ve been working on a nice flyer illustration for Drift Fury. I’m really pleased with the progress… I definitely want to run some shirts with this design.
This is one of the oversized prints I’ve been working on. This will be one of five printed on silk for display at the M5 launch on October 22nd here in Atlanta.
Here is a proof of one of the poster layouts I’ve been working on for the world-wide launch of the M5.
