Homo Promo Art

Hey, everyone! Just thought I'd share an early sketch/painting/photo-
manipulation I did as a concept for the art on an "Inspector
Hieronymus" period style poster.

What do you think? I think it captures the feel of a 1940's noir
poster while still conveying the sexiness that Don oozes as the
Inspector. I also like the "what's that, Nancy Drew?" look on his
face....

As we work on more stories featuring our darkly heroic Inspector, I'm
thinking we'll want one poster image to rule them all! Is this one
close? Please make suggestions or just give up your opinion in the
comments!

Weakest. Product. Tie-In. Ever.

I'm at MacWorld, perusing the Expo, and have just come across a pretty
awful advertising gimmick. The photo is of the DeLorean from Back to
the Future. THE DeLorean.

Why is it on display at MacWorld? Because the company that brought it
here replaces the glossy screen on your MacBook with a matte one and
promises to get it BACK IN TIME for you to get whatever work done you
need to get done.

Clever, no?

No.

iPhone fun

This was a Christmas present from my mother-in-law. It looks so much
like a Cylon that I just had to add the red eye (Brushes! App on the
iPhone), then used the app iMotivate to mimic the inspiational poster
look.

Happy New Year, by the way!
