01/11 Mouse Tron

A random drawing at the doctor's office led to this. I wasn't trying to do a Tron design, it just came out that way. All of this was done in Photoshop using my new Bamboo Tablet. Currently 5 colors: gray, blue, white, red, and pink. Black is the shirt color. I still need to give the mouse in the middle a gray treatment and invert the front wheel colors (red/black). But overall a nice sketch almost fully realized.  Tron Mouse finds a new way to keep other mice away from his cheese.

New Recognizer

The original Tron movie, one of my favorites, had the iconic Recognizer symbol. But there wasn't a similar vectorized version of the new Recognizer.  I proudly have an old-school Reco on my MacBook Pro, so it looks like it is capturing the lit up Mac logo on the lid when opened.  So I made one for the new Reco as well.  It's a vectorized file, so it reproduces razor sharp. The gif below has been sampled so it doesn't look as good.

01/02 VelociTron shirt

This didn't win. Heck, it barely broke 90 votes, while the other entry that was similar won it all. I think it's superior in every way to the winner, but that's the nature of the derby. The first shirt always wins, and I was driving from Chicago to Philly.  So I figured I would share it on the blog, since it was so good.  Note I dated the above entry to when I actually submitted it.

Only one kid soul commented on the shirt in the thread. If you want to do so (and make me feel good), feel free to go over and say so here.

01/09 Finding a way out.

Another year, another derby shirt. This is a new take on a classic joke shirt- the tux shirt. Only I replaced the flower with a bride, and had a circuitous pathway for the groom to get away. There is only one solution (though you can go through the bowtie two ways), but a hint: if you find yourself tracing the lower buttons, you're not getting away anymore :)

Velocipede Entry on Facebook

Hi folks!

I have an entry for a Tron contest that, if I win, will get tons of cool swag.  Here's the link

And here's the design.  I think it is really cool.

Derby 166- Commodore Capybara

Wow, I've been neglecting this blog.  Well, I've got good cause. I just co-edited a massive re-edit of a Physiological Psychology textbook, so look for a link here for that. Took 6 months. Then, I taught a lot of summer school. Now fall semester's in full swing.  I gave up on the 365, but at least I'm still drawing.  Here's my new entry for the derby- because I think capybaras are cute.

Working for a living

Another week, another derby entry. This one is based on the CITY derby, which was one of the first derbies as well (15 or so).  But I get to use an old element, the pigeon.  VOTING HERE.
