Announcement: BittBox User Showcase

May 10, 2007 | Posted in News | 16 Comments »

I have been listening to your requests and one of the most requested items in my queue is a BittBox User Showcase. I would love to have the resources to create one right here on BittBox, but I am just a designer and BB uses a ton of bandwidth already (mostly the high-quality freebies). I thought long and hard, and decided that Flickr was the way to go. Flickr has all of the tools to bring a user showcase to life (including forum-like discussion) and anyone can upload their designs instantly, without getting approval. I encourage all of you to check out the new Flickr Group I created for you as an effort to bring the growing BittBox Community one step closer together. BittBox is simply my hobby design blog (for now), but I must be doing something right because I have been getting an overwhelming sense of a developing community here. I can’t wait to see what you have created! Your turn to teach me somethin!, watch for me in the discussion section. ; )

VectorVault.com Product Review, Interview with Adam Jarvis, and the Future of Free Vectors Online

May 4, 2007 | Posted in News | 21 Comments »

I’ve had the opportunity to conduct a product review of the vectors over at VectorVault. To go along with the review, I also had the opportunity to do a small interview with VectorVault’s creator, Adam Jarvis, and I must say that I was both surprised, and totally excited at his responses. Why? It appears that the founder of VectorVault and I have something in common. . . we love to give away freebies! and Adam has some bold plans for the future of free vectors.

April 21, 2007 | Posted in News | 33 Comments »

For anyone out there trying to decide wether or not to start a design blog, here is a perfect example of some of the good things that can come your way. BittBox was recently chosen to be featured as a resource in Computer Arts Magazine Issue #135. The people at Computer Arts thought that my Illustrator Brushes for making swooshes, swirls, and curls, were neat and wanted to share them with their readers. I was contacted via email and happily agreed.

Brand Nu V2 Launches

March 11, 2007 | Posted in News | 8 Comments »

Brand Nu is the online portfolio of Radim Malinic, a Digital Artist/Illustrator from the UK. His work is extremely high quality, and highly sought-after. Brand Nu launched a new version of the site today, along with 24 new works! This is one of my favorite sites, not only because the artwork is magnificent, but it’s a source of inspiration as well as an example of an artist pushing the limits of digital media. Take a few minutes and browse Brand Nu’s Showcase section to witness some of the very best vector and raster digital art out there.
