For this PhotoshoCafe Design Challenge we had to develop a period style billboard using Photoshop as the theme. I chose a vintage 1910 period for one and a 1960&#8217;s retro style for the other. Again I did some exhaustive research into the typefaces, terminology, and styles of the periods.
For the vintage design I bought some [...]]]></description>

I like to design things sometimes just to keep the talent and imagination fresh and this was one of them. I thought it would be cool to do a spoof on the Segway Human Transporter so I gave it a jet-pack, headlights, and shoulder harness and it became the Sailaway. Done completely in Photoshop.

This is the only surviving panel of my comic strip Little Chicago. Sadly I lost all the others when I moved. I started this strip back in 1975 and it was about the daily lives of a bunch of critters who lived in a park in the middle of the Windy City. The characters were [...]]]></description>

Originally I had developed a character to use as a mascot on my old portfolio site, but when that site was built (by my good friend Phil Neal) that all changed. The inspiration for the birds came from these two fat ceramic birds (one is small, the other large) which I bought as a Mother&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

I had to stay with my folks for a short time a few years back and it was difficult. I was going through a rough time in my life and so I turned to my art as a release and produced this dark piece. This is the only &#8220;grunge&#8221; type design I&#8217;ve ever done.
Everything is [...]]]></description>

Again, another PhotoshopCafe contest and another entry from me. This time around we had to design a concert poster with a Photoshop themed band. I chose the Annotation tool and came up with my own Zoot Suit band called The Annotations.
Everything is completely 100% Photoshop. This is my favorite design of all the ones I&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>

Another contest and another entry from me. This time the challenge was to design a video game cover. As always Colin throws in an extra hitch; the design must contain something relating to Photoshop.
With this entry I envisioned Photoshop&#8217;s slice tool and developed a samurai character with his sword and gave the whole design a [...]]]></description>

It may behoove me as an artist to enter design contests, but it is one way of keeping the talent sharp. At the end of every year Colin Smith over at PhotoshopCafe holds a design challenge which is open to anyone. These annual contests have been going on for eight years and have grown both [...]]]></description>
