Ok – So I felt like creating something again. Not really here with the intent to write much at the moment – so with out ANY further ado… coupla’ worship backgrounds, here you go!
I’ve used some elements in making them that are licensed, so i can’t just post them for download, however, feel free to ask if you would like them – I can share for sure!

Good Night!
Whoa…
What’s this?
This blog… It’s alive again?
Anyway – here’s a bit of work I’ve done for a poster for the band Laura Monk and High Cotton. There’s a CD coming out soon as well, I’ll post it after it goes to print =)
This poster is nearly done, but not quite yet.

Ok – so I’ve been a little lax with postings, but give me a little slack – i’m trying to move my apartment right now (and I have some other great things going on =D ), and I’ve had little time to create, let alone post anything.
However, I took a break today to work on some stuff for a ministry initiative I’m trying to flesh out still, and I took a break from that to make this, mucho thanks to Mark for the core idea….
Google Harder - Poster Design
Here’s a small one if you want to post it in a forum and be all “helpful” to people (graciously hosted by imgur (http://imgur.com/HrCdm), of course)
Google Harder: Forum Edition
I wanted to make something new for all of my computers and my ipad and my phone for The Orange Conference this year – so I came up with this little design last night. I’ve modeled it after the OSX System Preference Icon, and, well, I think it’s pretty swell. Here’s a small version of one of the designs – I’ll post the other one later.

The Orange Conference is a yearly Ministry Leader’s Conference in Atlanta, GA, and is part of the Orange Strategy. Learn more here: whatisorange.org
So – because of that piece that I am working on for that Future of Forestry song, I created a new font because I could find nothing quite like what I wanted on good old DaFont.com.
Here’s what it looks like so far (I’ll be releasing it free for personal use when I’m done forging)
It will be offered in two kernings:
And, after an accident involving a three, I’ll be making a “sister font” based on this:
Inspired by (and the words are directly from) the song “Protection” by Future of Forestry. I designed the font, and I’ll be releasing the font as soon as i complete all the letters.
Been tired, been told, been scolded
I want to reach you
You been strong, been bold, been molded
I want to reach you
Been burned, been fooled, been lied to
I want to reach you
You been healed, been wise, been sung to
I want to reach you
Trust me, I can feel what happened
I can hear your dangerous question
Trust me, I can see you want protection
You want protection
Been sold, been used and it changed you
I want to reach you
You been bought, been seen and been given to
I want to reach you
Seen earth, seen fire, seen the broken
I want to reach you
Seen heaven, seen rain, seen something
I want to reach you
I’ll be with you ’til the end
Though I can’t take your pain away
-Future of Forestry, Protection
Just a little something I cooked up. Words credit: Newsboys.
And here’s a version that’s rendered incorrectly, but I happen to rather like it.
Ok – so – my small group leader suggested that I do another one of these things for the next 5-10 years – a strategic life plan – basically, it’s like a business plan for those of you who have never done one.
So, I thought to myself, “I’ve never used Illustrator before! Also – I don’t know how to make those cool ribbons either!”
After tonight, neither of those statements are true anymore. No tutorials were used, though I did have some helpful suggestions from a good friend – thanks Scott!
Here’s what I have come up with so far:
Title pretty much sums it up. Playing in photoshop. weird things happen.
Meh.
So when I’m not working, taking photographs, painting, drawing, or otherwise involved with something, I’m working on a little side project for work. You see, I’ve yet to find an all in one application to handle changelogs on servers – as in – an audit trail, so to speak on things that individuals do to servers – with in depth detail as to what’s going on.
So, naturally, I’m making my own – from the ground up. Design, layout, functionality – I’m doing all of it. I’m about halfway there, and would love any constructive criticism on the design – I probably won’t actually change anything if it’s too massive of a change (due strictly to the nature of the task at hand – it’s not mission critical), but any opportunity to learn more good practices is one that I will take.
Please, let me know what you think! =D
