Couture. Paper. Art.

allank — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 18:13:49 +0000

Easily some of the most beautiful paper craft I have seen. Each piece is hand cut and unique, but also comes framed, at a price that is more than reasonable for the depth, texture, and shear aesthetics you receive.

It was a pleasure to help create this site. It truly is a blessing in this industry to be able to work with something that I value and appreciate. AnnaBondoc.com is a Shopify site that I help to launch this week, that is the namesake of one of the two founders; Anna Bondoc and Vanessa Peter.

It was a challenging and pleasant new development experience, as this was the first time that I have worked in Shopify. Shopify is a hosted solution for e-commerce that uses a tag library, similar to ExpressionEngine, making it incredibly easy to implement and develop your own design.

For a first run through a custom design, the Shopify learning curve was at the very least refreshing as a developer with almost no solo e-commerce experience. There are some limitations on both the front and the back end, but the templating and page development is straight forward and very easy to work with.

Though not as robust as Magento, Shopify is now certainly at the top of my list for online sales solutions for those on a budget or those with out dedicated development staff. Anna Bondoc is at the top of my list for amazing artwork and certainly for any upcoming gifts.

Please check out AnnaBondoc.com. It’s nice to see something new and beautiful make the scene.

He uses recycled and salvage cypress, red pine, and cast off to create unique one-of-a-kind art work, out of valuable, stable, non-renewable wood. His furniture is simply gorgeous.

Media Temple and Email

allank — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 18:35:12 +0000

Not sure what Media Temple is doing with my email but nothing is coming in or out through SMTP, IMAP, or Webmail. I hope it gets fixed soon. This wasn’t in any update email I normally get…. wait… that’s why I didn’t get the email!

Email Contact Debacle

allank — Tue, 22 May 2007 15:22:17 +0000

This is a call to anyone that has outstanding statements, questions, business, or general contact inquiries that have gone unanswered. Due to something similar to Email Chapter 11 and a nonfunctional contact form, to re-acclimate myself to communications I ask of you to please resubmit your emails and contact forms. I apologize profusely to you all, as this an egregious oversight on my part. It is in no way a reflection of my personality and I am very sorry if I have missed your communications.

Portfolio Is GO!

allank — Wed, 21 Mar 2007 13:57:01 +0000

Be gentle. It is still a work in progress. I have yet to represent all of the glorious work that I have accomplished. There are quite a few illustrations that I am happy displaying. Though, I am currently discussing amongst contemporaries whether or not those are best fit for another section. Any thoughts on that matter? I would love any feedback that you have.

Check out my portfolio now!

Brian Turnbough and Sandemonium on The Learning Channel

allank — Mon, 05 Mar 2007 21:48:36 +0000

Check out a very good friend of mine, Brian Turnbough, with his team on The Learning Channels as part of Sand Blasters 2007 competition.

Check him out for a moment in this music video about the Sand Blaster Competition. Here is an excerpt from the Learning Channel Web Site:

Ted introduced Brian to sand sculpting seven years ago, and they have been working together regularly ever since. As part of a larger team they won the People’s Choice Award at the World Championships in 2004, but this is their first time competing as a duo.

There is a picture of the team demolishing their sand sculpture in the gallery on the site.
