The One True Maverick

Vignette IV: The One True Maverick
This vignette is the fourth in a weekly series of vignettes composed and photographed by me. This week I was inspired by Xander's birthday party on Sunday. He invited five friends over and they had a Nerf war ~ red versus green. I found these great wacky ninja style masks at the Japanese dollar store, Daiko in Daly City. It was a bit surreal watching masked children with guns shoot at each other and run around the yard like commandos. But it was all in the spirit of fun, and best of all ~ no one got hurt! So please check out the photos on flickr for a glimpse into the madness from that Sunday afternoon! And enjoy the vignette!

And for more fun with your Maverick ~ try this!

Ghoul Evening

Vignette III: Ghoul Evening
This vignette is the third in a weekly series of vignettes composed and photographed by me. This time I got into the Halloween spirit, and photographed some of our many seasonal dealy bobs. Yeah, that's right you read it correctly ~ dealy bobs! I also employed the use of the cross process curves in Adobe Photoshop CS3. Fun, fun, fun! Now it's time to run.

Big Dog in Doraemonland

Vignette II: Big Dog in Doraemonland
This vignette is the second in a weekly series of vignettes composed and photographed by yours truly. This time I found some objects & toys in Sally's room then added a sheet of Doraemon stickers, that we got at the Chinese dollar store, for a background. I am particularly fond of the little boy in front of the dog on the big Snoopy soap dish (See image below for detailed graphic). The other factor here is my photos have a lot of noise, due to long exposures in low light conditions. Once I find my missing tripod, I'll be golden! You'll see, next week will be even better.

MTXS Poster Factory

Yes I have added a new page to my web site. I have been trying to get around to this task for over two weeks now. Life is like that some times. Check out my new online gallery of poster designs at http://mtxs.net/posters.html The idea is that I will add more designs as I continue to design more posters. Perhaps I will open up an Etsy shop featuring my custom poster design services... Perhaps, I got an idea from my little brother. Hard to say really ...

Little Panda in Warioland

Vignette I: Little Panda in Warioland
This vignette is the first in a weekly series of vignettes composed and photographed by yours truly. The series will feature found objects, toys, packaging and so on from my home. Today, I just put together a few things I found in our bathroom. I love the juxtaposition of all the various elements, the way the yellows and blues play off the grays and so on. Perhaps this series will lead to my own Joseph Campbell boxes ~ who knows? But you see where I am headed with this right? . . . Cool beans.
