Space Invaders (Finished pt.2)
Saturday, October 24th, 2009
A few months ago I was asked to submit the "Many Faces of a Space Invader" poster to a kind of video game art zine. I took the opportunity to remake it, addressing what I felt were some of the weak points of the original and adding a few new ones I'd recently thought of.

Space Invaders Rd. 2
Monday, July 20th, 2009
The above is a detail from the new version of "The Many Faces of a Space Invader," created for an upcoming video game art zine. The new version features ten new characters, and I'm looking into my options for printing it.

Made a Space Invaders sprite for the MG Newsletter last month and decided to make some variations today.

Design Remixes
Tuesday, February 17th, 2009
I've been really into these kinds of "design remixes" lately. Most of them involve taking current, not very elegantly designed products and redoing them in such a way as to avoid modern design pratfalls, which, especially in the case of books, makes them look a lot like classic-era Penguin covers (which I love). I think part of the appeal for me, apart from the great design, is my love of sets. I've always been drawn to collections, especially when they look like they belong together. The image above is of the Harry Potter books, redesigned by M.S. Corley. The bottom two are from a set by Olly Moss that features some of my favorite old video games, re-imagined as books.
I've got a similar scheme worked up for a favorite set of mine. Will post when I complete the first ten.

GTA IV Trailer
Tuesday, April 8th, 2008
I admit it, I'm really psyched for the new Grand Theft Auto game. Kudos to Rockstar for using a Miles Davis "Birth of the Cool" track too.
