Kill The Spaz by C. Dowd
Here’s an interactive Flash movie I made. It’s dumb, but somehow therapeutic. Love to know what you think. Enjoy!
Bhub Getting His A$$ Kicked
Now this was a fun project! I took an original photo, and manipulated it to (hopefully!) create a feeling of violence, urgency, and action. I think it turned out really well. If only the photo was taken with a better quality camera. Nonetheless, I’m happy with the final result. It was a good exercise. All photoshop.
The guy in the photo is a good friend of mine. He’s on the ’space, so shoot him a friend request.

2 Dragons Fighting
I’m not huge on “Abstract Art” but as a designer, sometimes you just need to do something abstract! This piece is of 2 dragons fighting. See ‘em? Trust me, they’re in there.
I did this piece in Illustrator. Love that pencil tool! Click the image to enlarge. Hope ya like it!
Baltimore Sports Classics
So I had the pleasure of being assigned the task to create an ad for the Baltimore Sun newspaper promoting the holiday re-airing of some local Bmore sports classics. Cal Ripken’s Ironman game (2131), the BALTIMORE Colts’ championship games in 1958 & 1959, and some Preakness highlights.
I created a series of 3 images and collaged them together for the ad. I did these entirely in Illustrator. Considering the hard deadline I was on, I think they turned out really well. The ads will run in the 12/23, 12/24, and 12/25 editions of the Sun. Be sure to check them out in the Sports section. In the meantime, here’s a sneak peek. Click the images to enlarge.
Baltimore Sun Gameday Ads
I just had the pleasure of creating a series of ads for ESPN 1300 AM’s “Baltimore Gameday Radio” that ran (and are still running) in the sports section of the Baltimore Sun newspaper. BGR is a series of Ravens “player’s shows” that run on 1300 AM Mon-Thurs. There is the Ray Lewis Show, the Bart Scott Show, the Jon Ogden Show, and the Willis McGahee Show. But I digress.
Anyway, I’m pretty proud of the way they turned out, and figured that someone may be interested in seeing them. These are modified for the web, so they’re a little lossy, but you get the point. I’d love some constructive criticism if you feel so inclined. I’m always looking to improve my craft. Click the image to enlarge.

*This is not the entire series. For that you’ll have to buy the Sun. 
UPDATE: Attila from the ever popular Pillage Idiot blog has included this post in the latest Carnival of Maryland edition! I highly recommend that you give it a look. Thanks Attila.
For those of you who have never read my blog, I don’t blame you. BUT, if you wanted to check out some of my other art and illustration, you can click here for links to all of my art postings. FYI, I am available for freelance employment. Oh, and I am also a shameless self promoter.
