Eagle Mineral Company needed a site built, and built quickly, I put this together overnight and they were happy with it. Sometimes short and simple is all you need.

Eagle Mineral Company Site Build
Hornaday Design Site Build
My colleague Will Hornaday asked me to build his portfolio site that he designed. I built the site on wordpress, and used the viewport theme to achieve the sliding panels of the portfolio pages, then created a custom template for the blog pages. I used jquery to create the fade-in animation as the home page loads, and used this post to figure out how to get the random image to load.
Eagle Service Group Site Build
I designed and built this wordpress site for Eagle Service Group. I worked with the client through two rounds of design revisions, then built the theme using thematic.
I used MMForm Community to handle the various forms on the site, it is a good form plugin, and it’s free, another option if you ever need to collect any data on your site.
Sinolynx.com
Launched Sinolynx.com, an informational site for business to business company involved in Chinese trading.
I built the site on wordpress 3, designed the layout and graphics, and built the theme on thematic.
Limacinternational.com
Launched the Limac International, LLC site this week for the international effort of the Limac Corporation.
I built the site on wordpress 3, designed the layout and graphics, and built the theme on thematic.
SINOLYNX logo design
I was contracted to make a logo for a new company focused in international trade with China. The founders formed the name SinoLynx, LLC and asked me to come up with whatever came to mind. Here are the four original choices I sent them.
There was a unanimous choice for 3, with the small revision of adding an actual “lynx” to the image. Which can be seen in the final version here :
I’ll be developing the site as well, and will post links to that as it get’s completed.
FunCity iPhone Icon
I was contracted to design the Fun City iPhone icon.
15RoseAve.com is feeling better now
Some minor visual fixes and suddenly a site can turn feel so much better. I finally got back to cleaning up the visual flaws that were bothering me on 15roseave.com, and added some new functionality as well.
Re-worked the header,
added a global translation plug-in,
polished the social sidebar and now it includes the recent tweets,
Made the reservation button a fixed tab, and easy to understand,
and did a complete overall to the Rooms & Rates page, as well as the room pages themselves.
The wall is getting some action,
and I was finally able to write a few posts for the experiences.
And using the wonderful Twitter Tools plugin I have a tweet digest reporting all the tweets of the day, which is actually quite useful as I’m using the 15 rose twitter to RT any and all awesome things happening in the Venice/Santa Monica Area, so follow us if that’s your thing.
Head over and check out 15roseave.com sometime, let me know what you think. And if your looking for a place to stay in California, well, you know where you can go…

15 Rose Logo Re-Visited
A small touch up, made the ’1′ more like a ’1′, fattened some of the limbs, and took away the “ave” in place of a rose. The change came about when making the clients business card, and he asked if I could change the logo and make the ’1′ look more like a ’1′…
15 Rose Logo Featured
Reading reddit this morning caused me to click on the follow up to an article I had commented on a week or so ago from the graphic design blog about Logos with Hidden Messages. Then while reading the sequel, “30 more Hidden Logos” I noticed my 15 Rose Ave logo made the list.
15 Rose Logo Design
I was asked to work on the design for 15 Rose Ave, a traveller’s house in Venice, CA. Here’s what I came up with.
I really wanted to get the whole thing to be one smooth, organic piece, while joining the ’5′ and the ‘R’ together. I feel like it all kind of moves in a wave, much of what we’re all about here at the 15 Rose, and was able to keep a vintage feel, without being too old fashioned.
15 Rose Site Build
Finished up designing and building 15rose.com, the official site of a small family-owned hostel/hotel in Venice, CA. I designed the logo as well the entire site layout, and used creative commons pictures from flickr for the background collage.

Lady Joe Flyer Design
I made this flyer for a Lady Jo show in New York. Sketched the title and characters and scanned them into photoshop.
onCurrent.com Shirts
Jordan, Eric, and I have been hard at work on the onCurrent shirts for the upcoming launch party. We made the screen in our basement dark room and turned a table we found at salvage into a makeshift printing press. We’ve been using second hand shirts from goodwill to give each shirt it’s own character, and so we also printed each a little different to give it that extra sense of individuality.
While we were at it we tried making screens out of a few other designs, screen printing for yourself can be both fun and rewarding!
