Back to Business
June 16, 2011 in New Work, This Designer's View by Scott
Although a majority of my sites lately have been in WordPress, it was a treat to take on a recent contract position through Robert Half Technology to work with a great Vegas company my last two weeks there. The reason I want to show this work on this particular site is that I was given a Photoshop template and had to dice it up and make it fit the flavor the company was re-branding toward.
This was one of a few web sites they had me there to assist with, but this one needed to be built from scratch.
The template for this web development company was bright and colorful compared to their existing web strategy and also needed an updated logo matching the new color scheme.
My job was to make that work and then transfer all their copy over to it almost exactly with a lot of general edits.
Using Photoshop to slice this up minus the redundant elements of the graphic, or items that could be created through CSS or HTML, I had everything I need to make this in the image of the executives for the company.
With a little help from a photostock site, this is what I proposed to the management and they liked a lot.
I enjoyed working there and I do not want to take anything away from what this company offers for their design aesthetic. I worked with their principle designer closely and was graciously given some licence to prove my skills.

New Costume Design
February 14, 2011 in New Work, Sewing, The Artists View by Scott
My goals are these, try and live the rest of my life in the most positive and loving light that I can. Within that, be able to create and do wonderful things from this creative twisted mind.
I was inspired by the costumes I saw at the Lion King a couple weeks ago and came up with a design I wanted to do with this great fabric I had. Thanks to Perry and Alex from Alex Rivas Upholstery, this fabric was donated before their business burned last summer, I got hold of this great fabric.
As the piece developed it took shape. I was designed to be a mixture of masculine and feminine. The Steampunk theme to it comes from an admiration of this great Edwardian/Victorian mix with futuristic eccentricity.
Meanwhile, I march on with other ideas for costumes, but time will tell when I can get all this finished. This is on my web site only because I want to show how diverse I am in creativity. Hopefully it will lead to something really cool.

Final Passage update
January 31, 2011 in final passage, New Work, The Artists View by Scott
Updated information posted here on this web site as well as the Indiegogo.Com site where I am perpetuating my attempt at funding.
The budget cam to 10K to get this project wrapped up to 100% completion and transported. I am thinking about a trial run at Element -11 which is like a mini Burning Man event out of Salt Lake City. It’s another expense, but it might be a fun preview unless I keep the preview local with First Friday.
Anyway, the updated renderings are linked and shared everywhere including the video on IndieGoGo. Now to work on the other grants and write a press release for Final Passage.

Final Passage update
January 13, 2011 in final passage, New Work, The Artists View by Scott
Looks like I brought on a couple of new partners in the future success of this project and am hoping to find one more very accomplished person on Saturday. These people are craftsman who have solid reputations in their fields and have the foundation to help me make this happen.
It is my hope that following Burning Man 2011 that by working with BRAF (Black Rock Arts Foundation) and Nevada Arts that I can place this in the city where it can continue to live on for public interaction.
Very exciting.

Grant Process
January 7, 2011 in final passage, New Work, The Artists View by Scott
Over the last few weeks a big part of my energy has been working on a Grant or two to make this large project come to life. “Final Passage” is only one of three projects I want moving in the pipeline for 2011.
The fund raising campaign is already underway with my first donation received. I have big dreams about making this happen, but I do not want to wait til the 11th hour for this project.
What does this have to do with web design? Well, nothing. This web site is my portfolio site which includes all the kinds of art and work that I do. I have a lot of skills and experience to bring to the table.
Final Passage is the largest and most beautiful project I have decided to undertake and am really excited about making it happen.

Art Installations
September 12, 2010 in New Work by Scott
What is wrong with me? Oh, too much of an open ended questions there… how is this? What is up with my new passion for art installations.
Not satisfied to something simply sitting on a page or a digital screen, now I am coming up with ideas that require space – volume - transportation. It’s just wrong.
The projects listed in the Art Installations page are all inspired from my recent trip to Burning Man and having interacted with some AWESOME work. I want to make people understand how this finally loosened something inside of me.
I was stuck. I am going to ride this creative wave and see where it takes me.

Art Project Update – Styling
August 24, 2010 in New Work by Scott
Spent the better part of the day putting the final touches on this bad girl and then gave her a spanking. Could not get it into my apartment, so it is waiting in the back of my car until it can be transferred to the van. Lordie I hope this one does not get stolen.

Art Project Update – Build
August 23, 2010 in New Work by Scott
If it were not the 11th hour, then it would not be a project that is typical for this kind of situation. 6 months of planning, prep and frustration is not enough! ha ha ha…
After a lot of ribbing based on my original diagram and my highly limited carpentry skills, the master of wood helped (helped?) build the monolith. Yes people… it is finally constructed. Now it is up to me to finish. Now it is up to me to achieve the finished product. It had to be scaled down due to the size of the materials, of which I am extremely grateful to Damian for donating.
I went to Home Depot again yesterday for supplies and yes, will be heading out again today for more. This is insane… I am insane. I had to leave it in the back of my truck last night and this time, it was not stolen. But this mo-fo is heavier than I expected!

Art Project Update – Funding
July 31, 2010 in New Work, This Designer's View by Scott
3 fund raisers later… my art project is no closer to being finished. The last, the third and final, fund raising attempt sits in my car port as a metal frame incomplete. I still have time to accomplish something and maybe in the pinch I will find the magic to finish a rendition of it.
I’m not one to give up, but I am that guy that gets inspired by the crush.
People have given me money toward the project. I very much appreciate all the kind support from my local community, but almost all of those donations were eaten up by the overhead of the 2 events. I orchestrated it well, but there was not enough people generated to make it all fiscally successful.
I found about 2 online fund-raising sources for artists and tried Kickstarter.Com but failed to communicate the scope of the project on a level people would appreciate. Seems that talking about was inspirational enough for a lot of people. For some people theywere just happy someone from the community was doing something new.

The Web Site
May 3, 2010 in New Work by Scott
So, I have been working on the new site representing my work. You can see how much creative energy I have been putting into various projects which now seems to include clothing.
The t-shirts was my first introduction. But, I learned to use a sewing machine recently and whammo-bammo I am making kilts! I found some inspiration, but basically I am taking that several steps further.
The beige muslim one is a favorite of mine. I made the lined pouch bag for the front of it. Note the two nuts on the front… a bit of whimsy there! ha ha ha. The blue one was made as a gift for a friend for his birthday. Pretty cool lookin’ huh?
