Brand New Website!

I am proud to announce that jayrodesign.com has been redesigned and is now live. I have reorganized the site and revised the portfolio section. There is also a nice splash page slideshow of most current work. I am also anticipating having a SHOP section where you can buy prints and other ephemera. The first print up for grabs will be my Bill Murray/Peter Venkman piece for dribbble. Stay tuned for details on that, and check out the site if you haven't seen it already.

Featured on Moberfung, FFFFound, and Livedoor

Think Twice Before you Tweet was featured on Moberfung Blog, a Swiss blog about design, etc., FFFFound, and a Japanese art blog called Livedoor. I have no idea what the Japanese site says, hopefully it's positive, but I love how it looks!

It's always interesting to see how things move around the internets and where they end up. I was always amused when designs I did for The Powerpuff Girls domestic style guides ended up in Thailand, or other countries on the other side of the globe. This is WAY more instant.

Thanks for the feature, guys!

The Deadly Pair iPhone Wallpaper

The To Resolve Project got me "inspired" to dig some things out of the vault and offer up some more to everyone. This first one was an art piece I did for a gallery show in 2005 called The Deadly Pair. I am also going to rework this into an iPad wallpaper, so stay tuned. You can download the fullsize image by clicking below. The only requirement is that you'll have to A) let me know what other pieces you may want and B) show me the images in use. Please keep it clean and enjoy!

From the Vault

I've been busy gathering my files to update my online portfolio, and migrate everything over to a new website. I found some fun things I had forgotten about. Here's one of them: an experiment with glazing and a rubber brayer. Circa 2005.

Alimentary School Pals on PBA30 Atlanta

Our local PBS Station did a THIS IS ATLANTA featurette on Alcove Gallery where I show my paintings and where I've been involved in various art shows. The Lunchbox Show was featured and my Alimentary School Pals lunchbox had a nice couple of seconds on-screen starting at 1:07. Delicious!

TO RESOLVE Project

Talented Art Director/Designer Chris Streger  threw out a challenge to design an iphone wallpaper based on your personal resolution for the new year in hopes that the constant reminder it provides will force you to stick to it. It's a brilliant idea. Check out some of the other incredible submissions.

Since I'm new to the whole Twitter-verse, this was my contribution. I already broke it today by accidentally misspelling someone's name. (apologies to @bcouchman) Ha!
