Reskinned the blog today. Not sure I’m digging it..might take another whack at it tonight or later tomorrow. That’s a small shot of the old theme. The new header does nothing for me…

UPDATE: Fixed the header…its a little better now. Bleh!

DIY KAC Rail Panel Stippling

October 30th, 2009 | Category: Miscellaneous, Personal, Photography

I’m in the process of stippling my Knight’s Armament rail panels. This is the first one I did as a test using AEnemaBay’s method from AR15.com. Check out the tutorial here for more info. It’s really easy to do and the results are very effective. The panels are much less slippery, and give you a better grip even when wet. AEnemaBay’s method will give you a random texture that is much closer to the pattern on Magpul’s MIAD grip than simply using a soldering iron to poke holes. This method doesn’t deform the rail and takes much less time since you are covering a larger area than when you use the soldering iron technique.

Gypsy Curse?!

September 03rd, 2009 | Category: Design, Illustration, Miscellaneous, Personal

I’m posting this self-portrait in honor of my upcoming uvulectomy, tonsillectomy & deviated septum hat-trick of surgeries. I snore like a mother fucker…and have been hospitalized in the past whenever my uvula decides to swell up to the size of a cherry for unknown reasons.

When I went to the ER last time, I couldn’t talk and had written the followign note on my iPhone for the Emergency Room staff:

“Hello there is a problem with my throat. My uvula is extremely swollen. I am unable to swallow. It is causing me to choke & I am having difficulty breathing. It is very uncomfortably. I cannot talk, eat or drink. I also snore a lot. I think it needs to be removed. I believe it may be due to a gypsy curse. This has happened before. It is not strep…Please help me and CUT IT OUT!”

I did that image about a year ago…but I imagine that’s what I’ll probably look like in the weeks after my procedure. One can hope at least. Zombified!

This is what my uvula looked like the last time it went thermo-nuclear. They did not oblige my request to amputate it. All  I ended up getting was an IV of fluids and heavy doses of antihistamines & steroids.

My operation is scheduled for Sept. 14th in lieu of flowers please send pills, ice cream & XBOX games.

You’re Gonna Live with Me Now!

I got these for my birthday…SCORE! I didn’t even know these were out. They’re pretty rad! I am a mega Goonies fan…it was one of my favorite movies as a kid. I am surprised that it took them this long to develop a toy line. The Chunk figure even comes with a tiny statue of David.

Cylon Invasion?!

July 23rd, 2009 | Category: Miscellaneous, Personal, Photoshop

Cylon Invasion?! I’m not even really sure what a Cylon is… but you can be sure Sentry’s resident comic book guy slash graphic designer, Dan P does. Why else would he talk endlessly about them or wear this Battlestar Gaylactica shit? He keeps telling us how great the show is…so when he came in to work wearing this shirt given to him by his “girlfriend” I knew this Photoshop had to be done. Isn’t that show like 10 years old now? I don’t really watch a lot of TV. Anyway, Dan P’s working on his own blog over here. Seriously, he’s a good guy!

Lately, I’ve just been cranking out a shit ton of prototype packaging and working on the Sentry website. So there hasn’t been much to post.

Yawn! Bored like me? Then, check this out… Set me on fire…KEROSENE!  I’m out!
