Here’s another free wallpaper for y’all to enjoy. This photograph was taken near Jeonju, South Korea at a Buddhist Temple. Hundreds of tiny Buddhas are hand crafted on the side of this large iron bell. It is used to gather spiritual energy and is located at the center of the temple. Visitors can gong the bell and make a prayer no matter what background they come from. Continue Reading »
Happy Freebie Friday! This weeks wallpaper is a scene I captured in Bogota, Colombia in 2009. The man on the left is part of an elite Anti-Terror unit trained by the Colombian and US governments. These soldiers are found walking the streets during Colombian holidays or when they are called upon during an emergency. It is interesting to see the evolution between locals and the hard-line governments since the days of Pablo Escobar and his violent drug cartels. This soldier keeps the peace while his friend sells fruit on the side of the road. Continue Reading »
Project: Logo Design | Client: Dry Creek Liquors
Description: Dry Creek Liquors is not your average liquor store. They have a long history in their community and over the years they have acquired a variety of pieces from old wooden ships. The interior of the store is decorated with antique liquor boxes, bottles and even an old mast as a ceiling support. DCL wanted a new look for their store. Some logo requests are pretty straight forward, and this was one of them. They required three skulls, some pirate flair with a little bit of “Bad Ass” added as well. DCL loves the new look and are in the process of integrating it throughout their brand. Continue Reading »
I recently had the opportunity to travel to Oregon, one of the most wild and beautiful states in the US. Being a native Coloradan, I thought the two states would be fairly similar but I was pleasantly surprised when I experienced it first hand. The lone jarring peak of Mt. Hood, the neon green moss covered forests, the ancient cedar wood trees and the Pacific coast will forever be burned into my memory. I was truly inspired and I wanted to take those beautiful colors and carry them home with me. I’ve picked four colors from some of my photography of Oregon that work well together and capture the essence of it’s wilderness and beauty. Feel free to use them as you wish! Continue Reading »

Creativity is the result of our own soul seeping out in a form that others can sense. You might be thinking… what is he talking about? Well, let’s take a look at a musician for example. Jimi Hendrix was one of the most notorious guitarists to have lived and has influenced millions of people around the world. I saw a video clip of him at Woodstock (1969) and I noticed how radiant he was when he performed. Continue Reading »
