Welcome

Hi. I’m Aaron. I design stuff. If you’re here, it means you probably went to check slickpixel.com. First of all, thanks for being interested. Unfortunately, SlickPixel had become stagnant. I felt that I needed to justify my presence on the web by having a site that was dynamic and actually had something to offer. A two year old, stale site wasn’t it.

I have been thinking a lot about what I want SlickPixel to become. I have some really big plans which, when mixed with procrastination and anal retentiveness, mean big timelines. Which brings us both here. The SlickPixel blog site. This site will offer more up to date content, and serve as a nice replacement until the new full SlickPixel site is completed.

I hope you enjoy, and if not, you can always visit my old site here.

50th Post

For my 50th post, I will share a little joke with you courtesy of Lindsay. Here goes.


Have you heard about the corduroy pillow?

It's making headlines.

Camp Hanover


It's been a while since my last post, so I'm putting up a little teaser of my latest logo project that I'm working on with the guys from PharrOut. Hope you like 'em. More to come when it gets finalized.

Too Big for One Stage

ATTENTION WEB PEOPLES! I will be appearing at the National Folk Festival this Sunday in Richmond. I will be on the Genworth Financial Stage at 4:15 and the Comcast stage at 5:00 on Sunday, the 14th. I will be performing a spoken word piece as an opening act that will last approximately 1-2 minutes.

OK, not really. I'll just be introducing a couple of acts, no performing of any kind. But aside from me making an ass out of myself, the NFF should be a blast, so come check it out. More info here.
