I have to admit… I’m a huge geek, and not much of a patriot. Rather than getting out and partying it up on Canada Day this year I felt that I had just one chance to finally finish something I’ve been working on for a while. This! Finally after a month of development and then another 2 weeks of postponement and procrastination, this awesome Wordpress based version of bamboostudios.com is ready to rock!
I love writing code. I love learning to write code… but I have to admit it, everything I’ve ever programed is just a re-invention of someone else’s wheel. I’ve decided that I’m finally done with it; it’s time to get some ‘hot wheels’! Other awesome programmers have come before me and created some wicked apps, so why am I wasting my time creating my own? Well, I learned a lot but it’s time to move on.
That’s right. I’m a concept artist as well as a web designer. I already have plenty of web work but am interested in contract work for design projects requiring a competent concept artist.
Getting up in the world of web design is a lot like getting up in the world of Graffiti. It takes guts, patience, timing, talent, and lots of hard work. At their core, the two disciplines share a lot of similar traits.
It may seem like a stark contrast to a lot of people out there.. but the similarities are striking to me. This site focuses on graffiti art and web design, this article might help shed some light on why this all makes so much sense.
Finally! Bamboo Studios.com is now nearly complete, and if you’re reading this then chances are I’ve launched the site. For those that don’t know, I’m Jacob and this is my website, BambooStudios.com. It is both my gallery and my weblog. Or, you could say, it is both my portfolio site and my experimental zone where I’m constantly trying to improve my web design skills.
This blog will cover everything contemporary design, new media, artistic/design process, and, of course, web design. This first ever entry was published using a custom blogging system which you are presently reading the results of republished with Wordpress. Therefore, it made sense that this first entry should be no longer makes sense that this first entry is about custom blogging. Enjoy!
