The following is my entry into the Firefox 3 T-Shirt Contest. I was inspired by Daft Punk, Flat Hicks, and White Chocolate Mochas. I’d like to thank my wife for encouraging me to design something besides websites for a change…even with a gimp hand. Click the images to see full-size…
The image above is the second in a series of collages from a childhood sketchbook. Over the years, I’ve met, been inspired by, and become friends with many of my fellow web weavers. Getting to meet a lot of those people in person at my first SXSW last year and…
