			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I haven&#8217;t shown much attention to my blog in some time. Needless to say, I&#8217;ve been real busy. Since November, I have been working full-time at <a title="Maestro eLearning" href="http://www.maestroelearning.com" target="_blank">Maestro eLearning</a> which has been great. Unfortunately, I haven&#8217;t had anything to show on here due to client agreements. I&#8217;m thinking about overhauling the site when I have a chance to get around to it. Still, feel free to drop me a line and expect to see a new site up sometime in the near future. Thanks for stopping by!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I haven&#8217;t been, but I feel like it. I have been super busy the last month continuing my work for <a title="Throttle Media" href="http://www.throttlemedia.com" target="_blank">Throttle Media</a> as well as picking up some work from <a title="Maestro eLearning" href="http://www.maestroelearning.com" target="_blank">Maestro eLearning</a>. Unfortunately, I don&#8217;t have anything to show because most of the work I can&#8217;t, but I thought I would give an update regardless.</p>
<p>In the next few weeks, I&#8217;m finally making the CS4 switch. A little behind the pack, I know, but I need to upgrade to keep up with some clients. I&#8217;m really excited to check out all the new features and integrations.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I haven&#8217;t updated this site in a while, so here&#8217;s what I have been up to lately.</p>
<p>Since mid-April, I have been doing a lot of work in conjunction with Mike Lovse of <a title="Throttle Media" href="http://www.throttlemedia.com" target="_blank">Throttle Media</a>. Most of the work through Throttle Media has been for the client <a title="Amway Global" href="http://www.amway.com" target="_blank">Amway Global</a>, which has been great to work for a truly world-wide company. So far it has been a really good experience. I&#8217;ve been enjoying the fact that the projects have been more about design than illustration. Definitely a nice change of pace for me. I also had the opportunity to do a little design work on the new <a title="Wellness Works" href="http://wellness-works.net" target="_blank">Wellness Works</a> website. It was nice having the chance to see another step of that project after my main contributions to the program were finished. Once the new site is up-and-running, I&#8217;ll update the blog with the proper link. I hope to continue working with Throttle Media on future projects.</p>
<p>Also, there are quite a few projects down the line that are still in the process of tightening up. Once I have some things to show from those projects, they&#8217;ll be posted up here for your viewing pleasure. Thanks again for stopping by and hopefully it wont be such a long break between posts!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last night I did some quick concepts for slides to be used in the competition screening reels for <a title="KAFI 09" href="http://www.gokafi.com" target="_blank">KAFI &#8216;09</a>. Basically, I worked up the inital sketch, scanned and created the sketch in Illustrator. Then I dumped the images and text into Photoshop, added some textures, and created lighting effects using my tablet. It was nice to brush the dust off my tablet. I really need to start using that more.</p>
