Photo Restoration
This site is dedicated to Banksy, the elusive stencil graffiti artist from the U.K. There is a lot of interesting information on Banksy, some videos, and lots of images. It features a two-column with rounded corners layout, and a banner and graphics created in Illustrator and Photoshop. All XHTML/CSS, and a little bit of javascript for the image swap on the pages with thumbnails.
Recently I did a simple Flash slideshow for a client in Las Vegas. It can be seen live on the TPC Luvabulls website. Click on the picture to see it by itself. (Don't worry, there is no nudity or anything) Click here for more Flash stuff.

Samples of My Work:
Garden City, MI Downtown Development Authority Site. This site replaced the existing site as of 8-1-2009. I created all of the graphics, and utilized a two-column layout with rounded corners, all done with CSS. It was nice to be able to make a contribution to the city in which I live. I will also be maintaining this site with regular updates and additions.
Preparing for Screen Printing
This is an example of image file preparation for screen printing. It involved creating a vector version of a drawing by Tony Roko, Detroit Artist, acheiving the proper size, and making the color separations so all the screen printer had to do was print it.
This site was the final exam for my Web Design class. It is a redesign for an existing site. The links that are functional are contact, disc golf, disc golf lines, events, faq, and home. It features a three column layout, all done with XHTML/CSS. Also, on the home page is an element created in Flash.
There is a very interesting website called Privymaster.org, and I took it upon myself to redesign it. This website is dedicated to privy excavation in the name of buried treasure. Long ago, privies were a common place for a household to dump their garbage, and once it is full, it is covered over and the outhouse is moved elsewhere on the property. Thus, years and years later, people find out where they were, and dig them up, uncovering a plethora of collectible bottles, household items, and things such as clay pipes. Very interesting site. XHTML/CSS.
