This design or lack there of really set the tone of AJ as it looks today. Posting on white was a cleaner look (and easier to read obviously) also to make it more fun looking, a doodle was created by Gary Ham and AT-Eagle font headers were created. We stayed with this design until mid-2007. </div><hr noshade="noshade"> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BwqTwS1hJ5I/SffgcbPyAuI/AAAAAAAAAUo/n7gX61jgi34/s1600-h/AJ_blog_03.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 229px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BwqTwS1hJ5I/SffgcbPyAuI/AAAAAAAAAUo/n7gX61jgi34/s320/AJ_blog_03.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329975462971179746" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:130%;">(</span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >Redesign #2</span><span style="font-size:130%;"> > created: 6-18-2007)</span> <div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Redesign #2</span> made the blog wider to give it some breathing room. I even experimented having a 3 column layout for a couple of days (no one liked that though, ha). A Flash top banner was introduced with this design, showing a blue character Greg Ham created called Arthur (anyone who's been with AJ for a while knows who I'm talking about). The basics of <span style="font-weight: bold;">Redesign #1</span><span> followed through</span><span>, just with a little more dynamics.</span><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span><span>This design stuck for a while though only adjusting the side column information at most. </span></div><hr noshade="noshade"> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BwqTwS1hJ5I/Sffi06lGKxI/AAAAAAAAAU4/c5qRJoM3Y2E/s1600-h/AJ_blog_04.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BwqTwS1hJ5I/Sffi06lGKxI/AAAAAAAAAU4/c5qRJoM3Y2E/s320/AJ_blog_04.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329978082722196242" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:130%;">(</span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >Redesign #3</span><span style="font-size:130%;"> > date: 2-9-2009)</span> <div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Redesign #3</span> was updated earlier this year. Again with the dynamics of Flash, I souped up the header to have three modules - Artist spotlight, Submit a Topic, and introduced comic jumble (a Flash comic reader). Hopefully it looks a little better and people like it. Overall, Art Jumble started with less than 10 folks that all worked at the same place of employment, since then AJ has grown to have over 350+ members from people all over the world. AJ hosts some great posts, artists, illustrators, and designers. For all those involved in posting show some amazing skills. I'm thrilled to have been involved with AJ from the very beginning - I hope people share the same love I have for community blogs.

But please stay tuned, I got some neat things planned. Also, I've used this blog primarily in the past as an illustration blog - but now I'm going to be using it as a news / design / family / photo / illustration / thought blog (an everything blog or in short, just a normal blog, ha). Plus I promise to post to it more, when I have time and all.

I'll try to keep this so called "blog" updated whenever possible. There's actually a good reason for me not updating. Let's turn back time - through my work last year, our entire department got a free ride and hotel stay to attend San Diego for <span style="font-style: italic;">Comic-Con 2007</span>, sweet huh? During lunch one of those days, my friend <a href="http://idrawthings.blogspot.com/">Robert Islas</a> and I we're discussing how easy it would be to create a book with everyone in our department in it - we'd all create some illustrated stories &amp; put it all together - get a booth at Comic-con next year - it'd be fun, right? <span style="font-weight: bold;">Well</span>... we did and it's done! It's in China being printed right now. It's called <span style="font-style: italic;">CAKE Volume 1</span> and it's an anthology of 176 pages, 10 artists and 11 stories presented by Art Jumble. I went in on this not knowing where to even start; I've never made a book before. Everything was approached logically from creating a project schedule to creating templates for the book format, meetings, yadda, yadda... All in all, it was made in a little over 5 months. It'll be here in mid-May and we also have a booth at <span style="font-style: italic;">Comic-Con 2008</span>! Please check out everything here: <a href="http://the-cake-anthology.com/">http://the-cake-anthology.com</a>. I'm currently planning <span style="font-style: italic;">CAKE, Volume 2</span> with <a href="http://gregham.blogspot.com/">Greg Ham</a>. It's probably going to be twice as big as the first volume because we've invited several artists from <a href="http://artjumble.blogspot.com/">Art Jumble</a> that live all around the world to join in on the fun. It should be neat, please stay tuned for that! <hr /> <span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >Anthologies of 2007-2008</span> Because of <span style="font-style: italic;">CAKE, Volume 1</span> - I've done a lot of research about everything you need to know when making a book. Obviously, we are not the first people to create an anthology - so here's a list of anthologies that ROCK and/or are going to ROCK around Comic-Con 2008 week: <div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flightcomics.com/"><img src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_BwqTwS1hJ5I/SAGiYxD0aUI/AAAAAAAAAHA/hQYOGaoSH2w/s320/Flight_5.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Flight, Volume 5</span> coming out July 22nd (Comic-Con week) </div> <div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flightcomics.com/"><img src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_BwqTwS1hJ5I/SAGiixD0aVI/AAAAAAAAAHI/HyeKRVBxkLg/s320/Flight_exporter.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;"> Flight Explorer, Volume 1</span> </div> <div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.outofpicture.com/oopTake2"><img src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_BwqTwS1hJ5I/SAGjVRD0aWI/AAAAAAAAAHQ/UaDJlChpzyo/s320/oop_1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;"> Out of Picture, Volume 1</span> </div><div style="text-align: center;">Blue Sky Studios artists </div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.outofpicture.com/oopTake2"><img src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_BwqTwS1hJ5I/SAGjZhD0aXI/AAAAAAAAAHY/I-op7vg2Lx4/s320/oop_2.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Out of Picture, Volume 2 </span>coming out June 3rd </div> <div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://hiddenrobot.com/POPGUN"><img src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_BwqTwS1hJ5I/SAGjghD0aYI/AAAAAAAAAHg/nGb-APBzL4w/s320/popgun_01.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Popgun, Volume 1 </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://hiddenrobot.com/POPGUN"><img src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_BwqTwS1hJ5I/SAGjlBD0aZI/AAAAAAAAAHo/AhFDX7iWNOY/s320/popgun_02.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;"> Popgun, Volume 2 </span> <hr /> </div><span style="font-size:130%; font-weight: bold;">Graphic Novels of 2007-2008</span> These are just a few well known graphic novels, there are a lot of them out there.

I grew up watching older and at that time current Charlie Brown cartoons. My favorite character was Linus, because he was really smart, and when Charlie was having trouble he'd go to Linus for wisdom. My favorite cartoon of Peanuts was 'The Great Pumpkin', it's more of a movie though. The Great Pumpkin is a Santa Claus-like being that seems to exist only in the imagination of Linus. Every year, Linus sits in a pumpkin patch on Halloween night waiting for the Great Pumpkin to appear. In the movie (and in every comic strip) the Great Pumpkin fails to appear, and a humiliated but undefeated Linus vows to wait for him again the following Halloween, but not this time: <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.hetox.com/mark/art/Linus_The-Great-Pumpkin.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://www.hetox.com/mark/art/Linus_The-Great-Pumpkin.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.unitedmedia.com/comics/peanuts/archive/images/peanuts2002221161101.gif">Sample</a> comic of Charlie teasing Linus about The Great Pumpkin. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJRQH5oZV20">The Great Pumpkin</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31028483-116257955881201678?l=markgeyer.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mark Geyerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08220988356229642079noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31028483.post-1162579199619011872006-11-03T10:39:00.000-08:002009-04-26T10:39:31.379-07:00Johnny Cash - Ring of Fire<div face="webdings" style="text-align: center;">This post was created for <a href="http://artjumble.blogspot.com/">Art Jumble</a>. <span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> Ok, get your scrollbar ready...</span> </span><span style="font-size:100%;"> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.hetox.com/mark/art/JC_Ring-of-Fire.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px;" src="http://www.hetox.com/mark/art/JC_Ring-of-Fire.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://www.hetox.com/mark/random/Johnny-Cash_Ring-Of-Fire.mp3">Johnny Cash - Ring Of Fire.mp3</a> </span><div style="text-align: center;"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt; text-align: center;" align="center"><span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:100%;" >Love is a burning thing and it makes a fiery ring bound by wild desire I fell in to a ring of fire...
