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.

Shocking


I did this illustration for a Christmas card for the folks this past year. We got them a puppy for Christmas 06, and well, that cute little black lab grew into a strong ball of teenage doggy energy. So for Christmas 07 we pitched in half of the cost for the electric fence to contain her, and this was on the card we gave them with the dough. I wanted to post it earlier, but I couldn't post it before Christmas, then it was off to Puerto Rico, and well, I just remembered. So here it is.

Puerto Rico Pics



Pics from Puerto Rico are online. Check 'em out.

Corporate Planning Associates

I just wrapped up this logo for Jay Denny and Corporate Planning Associates. The idea is pretty straight forward. Corporate Planning Associates can help you achieve a comfortable and successful financial future. Golden egg. There it is.


Camp Hanover

I've been working with PharrOut and Camp Hanover to develop a new logo for them, and here's the final product:



Throughout the process we presented different directions that used imagery
of a flame, trees, a cross and a person. When the client asked for a direction that incorporated all of these images, I knew it'd be an interesting challenge. I wanted to avoid an approach that was a simple row of icons over type, so I worked the icons into the name and they liked it. And, I'm happy with the end result too.
