		<description><![CDATA[Popped into my head from out of nowhere a few days ago and I just had to make it. Figured out the Futura Condensed Extra Bold is the font of the original Smokey the Bear poster by running it through WhatTheFont. Took a headshot of ol&#8217; Smokey into Photoshop, reduced it down to about 20 pixels [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Preview of a series in progress. I&#8217;m taking the official Street Fighter 4 artwork and making vector duotone silhouettes from them. Each character&#8217;s form is done in black and then an accent is added, matching the character&#8217;s main signature color and attack. The process of vectorizing is simplified with live-trace, but I&#8217;m still doing a lot [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had a client approach me and ask if I knew how to customize MySpace. I replied &#8220;Sure can!&#8221; thinking that it couldn&#8217;t possibly be that difficult. Oh sweet merciful Jesus was I ever wrong. Instead of elegant semantic code full of classes to hook into, MySpace is a horrible mishmash of tables, divs, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been pretty busy this week. Set the axe to the grindstone and finished the site layout for MB Design. Had it go live on Sunday, so now I can FINALLY put together business cards to hand out. It&#8217;s still a work in progress, as I&#8217;m not entirely happy with the copy, but I have [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a little Flash demo that I made back in college. It creates a pattern by snapshotting a circle that bounces within the frame, as determined by user set variables. Specific directions are on the page. This was really an experiment in UI design; how to program tabs, sliders and a play-head, and organizing those [...]]]></description>
