Hollywood Visual Effects Can Be Produced Everywhere!
Before we can explore into the vast realm of visual effects, we need to understand what a visual effect actually is. Once this is known, we can explore how an effect is graded upon, and whether it is Hollywood quality or not. My end goal with this blog entry is to convince you that you […]
I would travel 902.4 miles…
I remember it like it was yesterday, I was sitting in my first grade classroom and we were discussing where we wanted to go for our “senior trip” after our future graduation. At that point in time, I’m not even sure if we knew what year we would graduate, but there we sat making BIG […]
Cooking with the Wheelhouse Creative Director
With the holiday season upon us, people across this great nation of ours start thinking about food. Not just any food, but traditional, iconic home cooked food. The problem is, not everyone knows how to cook. Actually, I think most people don’t really know how to cook, and why would they? Since the 1970s, we […]
Modern Crafts
As a child, art class was always my favorite. You can never be wrong, no matter how good or not so good you are at it. Being a graphic designer by day and a crafter by night keeps my brain in a creative state. I personally enjoy taking old school crafts and adding a modern […]

Do the things that scare you. They often make you better.
Parenthood. For some, it is something they’ve always known they wanted. For others, the thought strikes fear into their very soul. For years, I considered myself among the latter. Why would I want to give up doing whatever I wanted to do whenever I wanted to do it? It took me 42 years to get […]
To Ink or Not to Ink – That is a Personal Preference
Sixteen was the age of my first tattoo experience. But as bad as that sun and moon (with some Thomas the Train-esk features) may have turned out, I was hooked. I enjoy all types of tattoos, my personal collection is an array of milestones in my life, moments that I never want to forget or […]
