I haven’t posted much lately due to work related things keeping me busy, so I thought I would post a bunch of old things I have done.

I thought this is really cool!

“Tristan Eaton has created a series of posters for Barrack Obama’s Vote for Change campaign, which makes it easy to register to vote in the upcoming presidential election. The posters distributed primarily in swing states feature quotes from voters about the need for change and Tristan’s retro, powerful and slightly sarcastic illustrations. These score both in terms of visual appeal and their painful truth. Check out a video of the Working For Gas Poster below.” Source vinylpulse.com

A friend and I started a magic website BLACKMAGICHAT.COM. I did all the design as well as filmed and edited the videos in my bacement. Check it out, we hope to post a few videos every other week.

If I could vote seven million times I would vote every time for Barack Obama.

Please pass this link around. This video needs to be shared. Here is the direct link.

This is probably one of my favorite Flash animations. I love the style, and the story. In many ways I can relate to Toby but in the opposite way. I moved from the country to the city, specifically Grand Rapids. I went to school there where I met allot of really cool people. Then after school, I moved to one of the biggest cities, NYC. Wow, I fell in love. It’s the hardest thing to describe, but It felt like every day was an adventure. About a year ago my wife and I moved back to Grand Rapids, bought a house and had a son, Aidan. Now that Grand Rapids has become our home, I still miss the adventurous big city, but I get to do all the cool things I did their, except now I get to do them with all my friends, and my new family.

A friend asked me to come up with some character designs for this story their friend wrote called Little K Excavator. I wanted the characters to have the lovable look of Pixar’s Cars and the pre-school TV learning program Bob the Builder which started airing on Nick Jr.

Here is an animation test I was playing with.

Features:

Transparent Header
Linkable Header
Transparent Footer
Tiled Background Image
Custom Links Colors
PNG’s
Photoshop CS3 files

I found that not only myself but many others have been looking online for various modifications to the default Kubrick wordpress theme. The basic things that I found most wordpress users wanted was a theme that they could customize with there own design’s, mainly the header, links color, and background.

I have included the Photoshop CS3 files so you can modify them to fit your design. I have also used “PNG” image files for there transparency.

Here is a link to some Hex colors (http://www.december.com/html/spec/colorsafe.html) that can be used to change your Link Colors

I would also like to mention that there is a very cool online application for creating custom background tiles (http://www.bgpatterns.com/)
