Book Fair on the Square Website Launched

Brandon — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 02:13:05 +0000

Today I launched the Book Fair on the Square website for the Cobb County Community Services Board at work. It was a fun quick site. Chantelle Catania did the initial design work for the Book Fair so the design was based off of her print work. This site is also the first site I’ve done that validated both HTML and CSS on the first try!

The Bunny! Finally.

Brandon — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 01:56:29 +0000

Finally got time to upload this. I worked on the bunny about two weeks ago and just haven’t had time to update the site. I’m really happy with how it turned out.

So there’s the bunny after a long pause. I think I like the rest of the painting a lot more right now. Still have a lot of work to do on those skin tones of the boy, but that’s usually the hardest for me. Anyone got any great tips on how to handle that better. I know it needs more color. Comments and suggestions are always welcome!

I’ll be painting on Painting No. 4 soon, hopefully.

Graceland Fruit Website Launches

Brandon — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 01:50:28 +0000

We’ve finally launched the new website for Graceland Fruit in Michigan. Their old website really bugged me when I first started working at O’Neill Communications so I’m very glad that we were able to update the look. I also got to really flex my newly developed CSS muscles! Take a look at it and let me know what you think!

A Popsicle and a Really Green Shirt.

Brandon — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 02:00:15 +0000

I got a lot of painting done this weekend. I started working on the boy’s face. It’s not finished. I just ended up with so much paint on it that I’ll have to let it sit for a while. It’s a good start though and will give me a good base to start with.

I think the skin tones are looking very monochromatic though, so I need to fix that. I also worked on the shirt and the popsicle quite bit and think I’ve off to a great start with those. I think the shirt is doing a good job of popping some color as well as describing the light in the environment. The popsicle is only the first coat and will get better when I can get back in there and add shadows and highlights and stuff. This one is coming together pretty quick!

O’Neill Communications Blog Updated

Brandon — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 01:39:36 +0000

I upgraded the design of the O’Neill Communications blog today. Got a lot of things working more properly and integrated the design of the rest of the site as well as the navigation system. I also got really frustrated with the social bookmark plug ins for WordPress so I just hardcoded them myself. Then I used the same code for this site! Anyway, check it out if you get a chance!

Crowns and Hair

Brandon — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 01:56:40 +0000

Tonight I worked on adding color to the crown and hair. I think it’s off to a good start but definitely just a start. I’m going to have to go over it again later a couple of times. But I’m done with building the website now for the most part, so back to painting.

I’m crying inside.

Adding color to the buffalo

Brandon — Tue, 20 May 2008 14:25:22 +0000

Well, I started adding color to the buffalo painting. Got the wood grain of the walls and roof of the barn as well as a start on the sky. Also got the chair started so things are shaping up. I’m still pretty happy with where this painting seems to be going. I’m sure that will change soon! See the big pictures after the jump!

Buffalo eating Popsicle started

Brandon — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 15:19:06 +0000

I just really wanted to do a painting with a buffalo in it for some reason. I think we were talking about the sentence “Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.” at work or something. Anyway, I got started on this one here. I kind of like where it’s going so far. Looks like it’ll be fun to paint. This is just a wash of burnt umber to get the lights and darks right before I start adding color. Large photo after the jump!
