I created a new look for this programmers website, taking a completely different direction than previous projects. I struck a balance with texture and lighting giving the site a fresh feel.

The buttered cat paradox is a joke paradox based on the tongue-in-cheek combination of two adages:
– Cats always land on their feet.
– Buttered toast always lands buttered side down.

Finally, one of the staple restaurants of Park Avenue area in Rochester, NY is online. The nice thing about this site is that it will auto detect mobile devices and format itself correctly, so looking up items on a menu while out and about makes life so much easier! If you’ve never experienced Sinbad’s I highly recommend it,  my wife and I have been loyal patrons for well over a decade now.

Plaseebo.net the custom vinyl toy site owned and operated by my father Bob Conge was given a complete makeover bringing the site up to date giving it more purpose and refined organization. Be sure to set some time aside to peruse and observe this vast unhinged collection of toys born from the macabre region of artistry. Some of the toys are available in the new store as well, be quick with your mouse however, these toys sell out quick as they are made in very limited quantities. The coolest part is they they’re all hand decorated and signed, so each piece is a bit different from the other.

Check out the galleries of this amazing artist! The site deserves to be explored as his works emote an awe inspiring sense of wonder, intrigue and macabre. I’m excited about Hand’s work finally being shown in a format that allows many people to interact with it on such a large scale.

The lovely Lesa Snider who authored the recently released “CS4 The Missing Manual” received a wonderful review! I was lucky enough to contribute some work to the chapter “Drawing with the Vector Tools”.

“The book left me amazed and beyond impressed. This book, is not really a book, it is the Photoshop program in bound form. Rounding up to about 750 pages after you cut away intros, indexes and filler, this manual is hands-down the most complete guide to Photoshop that I have ever seen. And true to Lesa’s style of not only explaining the “how to” but the “why” which is something that I find is often left out of most Photoshop books. This manual covers every program menu, every tool, and every feature from web to print and contains information on where to download practice files.
