Jerry Seinfeld ~ Onstage

Sep 29, 2011

Tonight I’m posting the finished manipulated caricature of comedian Jerry Seinfeld. Nothing fancy here, I was just going for a more natural look so it’s a fairly mild caricature. I didn’t get that crisp sharp detail that I normally shoot for each time because in the source image, his head isn’t very large. I would like to do another one of him with one of his crazy expressions. I’ll be working on a Google+ portrait for the next day or two. Below I have posted the source image as well as a little something to entertain you.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day and be inspired!

Jerry Seinfeld ~ WIP and My Newest Feature

Sep 28, 2011

Tonight I’m posting a rough work in progress manipulated caricature of Jerry Seinfeld. Not sure why but I never did him and he seemed like a good subject. This is just a rough idea of what I’m going to do with this manipulation. The WIP is a cheesy 3D action I downloaded to see what it would do. Just playing around but I don’t think this will be part of my actions library and please don’t judge me by that or the slapped together image above. Speaking of which, I am recording some new actions with techniques I’ve been working on and experimenting with. At some point I will share these actions online.

I’m sure many of you have noticed the lack of posts recently. I’ve been really busy with several projects. One is my Google+ account. Google+ is growing at an astounding rate or at least it appears that way from my point of view. I gained approximately 2,000 circles in the past 24 hours bringing my circle count to 8,300+ to date. I’ve only been there about a month so it has been well worth my time. Not only have I gained over 8,000 new friends there, but I have picked up several jobs and made some incredible business deals. Do’t worry, I’m not abandoning my facebook friends. Between my two pages, I have 4,500+ friends there and every one of them is important to me. I promise you in the near future you’re going to see some wild new stuff. I picked up a couple of magazine covers there, a few commissions as well as more features both web and print, so there are lots of things happening. Stop by my Google+ page and put me in a circle.

I am also working on some magazine commissions as well as a load of interviews with various sites and publications; very time consuming but it’s part of what I’ve gotten myself into I guess. I’m working on a couple of deals right now with a publishing company and an imaging company about possibly getting into offering some affordable prints, maybe even posters. I was also contacted this week by the Brazilian Metal band Almah who want me to do a bunch of promotional material for their upcoming orchestrated tour. We’ve been in contact over this for about 6 months but they are ready now to proceed so that’s another really cool project coming up. On top of all of that, I was contacted a couple of days ago by a certain entertainer who wants me to do a load of work for him. This one is top secret so I can’t say who right now but he’s big and the project is going to be super cool.

Well, I’ve been feeling guilty about not getting posts up recently and I wanted to get something up for you tonight so this was a quick one. Oh, I totally forgot, I wanted to mention my latest interviewed feature which came out today on Desigg.com. There was a bit of a language barrier with this interview but I think you’ll get the idea if you read it. I’m very frank and matter of fact in this interview so you may find it interesting.

Chris Pirillo ~ YouTube Powerhouse, Technology Strategist and more

Sep 22, 2011

Tonight I’m posting a very subtle manipulated caricature of Chris Pirillo, as he is already a walking caricature. Chris is a fellow Google+‘er, a multi-talented Technology guru, a YouTube giant, very prominent social networker, Technology Strategist and many other things as well as really nice guy. Most Google+ enthusiasts will recognize him right away, but for those of you who don’t know him, he is a very well circled Google+’er with 53,000+ circles, probably a lot more by now with Google+ finally going public. Be sure and look for +Chris Pirillo and circle him. You’ll also want to subscribe to his entertaining and informative YouTube channel with 7 million+ channel views…wow! where he discusses Technology and explains things in such a way that even I can understand, beside he’s funny as he!!. It’s great stuff. I watch it every day, several times a day. He stays quite busy on YouTube. You can also find Chris’s Facebook Fan Page, Blog and you can tweet him @ChrisPirillo if you’d like. He’s all over, you can’t miss him. I’m also posting a short video from his massive YouTube archive. Go check him out! Circle, follow, like, favorite, tweet, and anything else I forgot to mention. Below are the source images I used for this project. Goodnight! Oh, don’t forget to circle me at +Rodney Pike and help me grow my 6,000+ circles.

Kristian Winnem ~ Google+ Commission

Sep 19, 2011

Tonight I’m posting a commission that was just completed and delivered yesterday. The caricature is of Kristian Winnem who is in one of my circles on Google+. Kristian is originally from Sweden and can be found on Google+ by his handle +Kristian Winnem. Kristian is a cycling enthusiast and most importantly a gamer. His games of choice are war games like Black Ops and Battlefield on XBOX 360. I decided to go with Call of Duty – Black Ops for the theme and other than that Kristian gave me free reins to do pretty much what I wanted and of course he asked for a full out situational manipulation. He was quite happy with the outcome. The images posted below are the ones Kristian provided for my source material. I am accepting these personal commissions on a limited basis but if price is an issue, maybe it’s not for you. Just ask Kristian.
