I’ve just updated the websites section with a couple of new items, Jonathan Pretus, The Rouge Muse, and Puglia’s Sporting Goods I did at work.

I did most of these a few months ago, but I’ve been so busy I haven’t even had a chance to update my own stuff.  I know, I know… pathetic, right?

I’ve got some exciting stuff I’m working on right now, as well.  I’ll be starting the build of Fred LeBlanc’s (of Cowboy Mouth) new Website this week.  It’s going to be another custom WordPress install.  I’m really enjoying doing these custom WordPress sites.  They’re super easy for the user to update, and best of all it’s a free CMS.  Nothing wrong with that.

I’ve also got a few projects I’m pretty excited about, but can’t really talk about now.  I’ll be collaborating with my buddy Geoff Gauchet on one of them, which I’m really excited about. You’ll hear about it soon.

I’ve started the build on The Rum House website this past week, and I’m really excited about this one.  If you haven’t been to The Rum House yet, you really need to get over there and get yourself some drinks and some food.  I don’t know which one they do better. Go decide for yourself. We’ll be rolling out some new Drink Menus in the next couple of weeks too, so keep your eyes open for that!

Aimee and I are working on some artsy side project stuff, and we’ll be rolling that out within the next couple of months.  I’m super excited about what we’re doing, and I hope you guys like it too.

Lots of exciting things going on, kids.  Stay tuned!

I just launched my good buddy Jonathan Pretus’ (guitar player for Cowboy Mouth) new website, built around the Word Press CMS engine.

Check it out, if you don’t mind!

Also, on the list of soon to come updates are the new website for Omega Hospital and a new logo for Second Line Paint, which I helped develop the concept for, and then our very talented illustrator dan at Design the Planet took it and ran with it.

I’m pretty excited about both.

Hey there people.  I’ve got a few new updates for you. I’m really excited about these two new updates, to tell the truth, and I’m going to be adding them to my portfolio as soon as I get some free time (which isn’t a whole lot these days, unfortunately).

So, the two newest updates are a couple of sites we just launched for Design the Planet.  Puglia’s Sporting Goods – www.puglias-sporting-goods.com and Wilson Marsh Equipment – www.wilsonmarshequipment.com.

Puglia’s has been around for a super long time, and it’s an honor to give them an online facelift.  They haven’t had a website before and I think we’ve given them something exceptional. I used a lot of textures and imagery of the great outdoors to really convey the Southern Louisiana Outdoors feel they were going for.

When I was a kid, my family used to tailgate in front of Puglia’s, and I always loved the giant shark they had out front.  I was totally stoked to do a website for them.

Wilson Marsh Equipment is an awesome company.  They build these huge cranes that go out in the marshes without sinking, and to tell you the truth, I think I want the cargo buggy for camping.

They’ve been around for a long time. They’re looking to get into selling their excavators in Europe, so they needed a new website to impress executives abroad.  I think we gave them something impressive.

I’ll be posting some screen shots soon.

Two degrees that is.

I finished my last final for good.  That is, of course, unless I decide to go to grad school later.  I just may.  Maybe even New York if I can save up 60 thousand dollars.

So anyway, I’ve got some awesome updates for you guys soon.

We finished the Rauch Milliken International website, so I’m going to post that to the portfolio soon, along with some stationary packages for RMI.  They’re looking pretty nice.

I’ve also got a couple of logos I’m pretty happy with to show you guys.  I know you can’t wait to see them.  I can’t wait to show you.

So I’m going to go drink some beer to celebrate finishing school.

Hooray, beer!

You have to love the internet.  I won’t go into specifics, but let’s just say I’m continually amazed at what I can get for absolutely free online.

On a completely different note that has nothing to do with what I can find for free on the internet, I picked up an After Effects CS3 manual tonight.  I won’t be using said manual to learn how to use the things I’ve downloaded for absolutely free on the internet.

Really.

Let’s just say that I’ll have some killer new experiments to show off in the next coming months.

And speaking of Killer things to show off, I’ve finally gotten some pictures of “History with a Twist” by Joe Gendusa.  You can view it in the “miscellaneous” section of my portfolio – One of these days I’ll get around to fixing that section up.  I’ve also got a new logo for Sydney Torress III (that’s right, the rock star garbage man’s dad), along with a new business card for Jefferson Door (keep an eye out for a stationary package soon), and finally some stuff for nolascene.com in the “poster“section.

I’m still working on a few projects that I hope to have up and showing off for you soon.  Keep an eye out for some nolascene.com and batonrougerocks.com merch.  If you know any good screen printers, let me know!

Also, wish me luck on my jiu jitsu tournament this week.  I’m going to try my hardest not to embarras myself.

Hello boys and girls in web land. In case you were curious, you can see a couple of new things I’ve been working on at work. A few days ago we launched a couple of new sites, jeffersondoor.com and noahs-friends.org.

Jefferson Door is a door, window, moulding, cabinets, you name it, manufacturing company that has been serving the Greater New Orleans area since 1959.  That’s pretty impressive, and I think their website is pretty impressive too.  I designed it and built it from the bottom up, and I have to say I’m pretty happy with it.  I’m also working on some buisness cards and print material for them, which I’m pretty excited about.

NOAH’s friends is a non profit that supports the New Orleans Adolescent Hospital, which cares for children with mental illnesses.  They do a wonderful job, and if you’d like to support them, please donate some money on their fancy new website.  I think we did a wonderful job with it.  This is another I designed and built.  I’m also very happy with it, and I think it’s on the top of my list of favorite sites I’ve done so far.

Additionally, I hope to have some actual pictures of the book I designed, “History With a Twist” by Joe Gendusa.  I’m really happy with how that came out, and I’d like for you all to see it ASAP.

Finally, I have some stuff that I’ve been working on for myself, nolascene.com – I’m really happy with how the design is going, and I hope to post some initial screen shots soon.

Stay in touch, peeps.

so if anyone’s interested in checking them out, a couple of my newest sites went live this week.

i did the louisiana state museum’s education section
http://lsm.crt.state.la.us/education/default.asp

NOAH’s Friends (a website for the friends of the New Orleans Adolescent Hospital – a hospital for “crazy” kids)
Bertucci Construction – they build barrier islands
Boys and Girls clubs of Southeast LA
J&J diving Co – they dive, or something.

and to top it off, the book i designed, “History w/ a Twist” should be coming out in the next few weeks. they ran a couple print proofs today, and it looks pretty nice.
