Red Bubble Merch!

So I've been designing and selling t-shirts on several on-line marketplaces for a few years now.  The most successful being Red Bubble.  Here's a direct link to my store front.  Since you're here, "Buy my merch!"

NFL Commercial VFX

This commercial aired during the Super Bowl several years ago.  (I think it was 2011) for some reason I keep losing track of it.  Now there are no guarantees that this link will always be active but hopefully it will be.  I think that it's very well done.  The VFX work and color correction is very impressive. I believe that the design agency that produced this was GREY.

Plex Media Server

Recently I've gotten into the whole Plex Media Server thing. Basically it's like having your own personal Netflix running inside your house.  I bought the lifetime "Season Pass" so I can run this thing on any device that I own forever.  Cell phones, tablets, gaming consoles, Google Chrome, Fire TV, etc.  It's pretty cool.

My Instagram Channel

As I believe I've mentioned before, this blog is a combination of Work Life and Family Life.  With that being said, here's a link to my personal Instagram Channel.  "cp interactive".  Even though that's my small business name.  The Instagram channel is primarily used to showcase my family and friends. Enjoy!

Free Lecture at RIT!

Last night I visited RIT to take in a free lecture by Scott Klinker of Cranbrook. www.scottklinker.com It was a very informative and inspiring event.  RIT has been opening their doors to the public, once each month having various design guest speakers give lectures. Very cool.
