Projects
While you’ll find examples of the work I do for my clients within this site’s portfolio, it’s not all work all the time. Here are some of the extra-curricular activities I play with in my spare time. Some people build model airplanes; I build web sites and icons. Must be in the right industry.
mezzoblue
My personal weblog focused on all issues web and tech, design and development alike. Well-read, and allegedly well-respected, by peers in the industry.
css Zen Garden
The seminal CSS gallery and demonstration site, it’s what convinced thousands of web designers to pick up CSS in the first place. Yep, I built that.
Chalkwork Icons
Well over 1,800 icons in a visually unified family, designed for common metaphors and actions needed by software and web sites. Available for general purchase.
