Notes from Outside the Machine

“Notes from Outside the Machine” is a website that I’ve just started to work on. I’ve never had to deal with a full size scaleable image for a background. After creating the graphic, I used a little CSS to make it stick. If you are interested in how it’s accomplished here’s the code :

/* *Homepage background graphic
*/
html {
background: url(/images/bg.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}

That’s it. Just a little tweaking of the html tag in the .css file.

It’s a little heavy on the download, but I think the pay off is well worth it. The site itself features three unique blogs that can all be accessed through the homepage.

Here’s the link:

Added a page

It seems that I haven’t had to even think about a resume in some time.  Latley however, I realized that I needed a copy of my past jobs somewhere.  So why not here.  Click on the “Art Dept” link at the top of the page to see my list of jobs.  I haven’t added 2011 yet, but it’s coming soon.

2K Sports

I made this oversized check for a commercial for 2K sports.  Whoever was the first to pitch a perfect game in MLB 2011 won a million dollars.

The image was later changed to what you see in the picture below.

I was hired to create some fake restaurant logos for some props.  In addition I had to photoshop some muffler heads onto people.
