I just wrapped up a new site for Machinima Commentator, ONS1AUGH7. His site was a project that I wanted to tackle for sometime – a personal website for a youtube entertainer. I’ve been following his videos for quite some time, and he recently let me run wild with a design for his personal site. If you’re in a similar niche and need a site, please feel free to let me know!

Check out the video Mike (ONS1AUGH7) put together below after launch.

A look at Eugene Andolsek’s patterns

Evan — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 18:30:59 +0000

I did a quick write-up of artist Eugene Andolsek over at DinPattern.com. His work is extremely impressive, hugely vibrant and pattern-like in nature. He’s been creating art since the early 1950′s, yet none of his art was ever showcased until just recently. He never thought much of his work, and after creating many pieces, he would file them away in a closet or trunk. The tools he used were pen and ink, straightedges and a compas and would mix his colors in eyedroppers. Head on over and read the article.
