The Art of Peter Beckley

an online portfolio

Portfolio updates

As you may have noticed, I’ve been updating the site layout. I’ve also been adding items to my portfolio. Several trusted friends have also suggested that I offer some freebies and tutorials on how I accomplish certain tasks, effects, etc, so look for some of those to be added soon as well.

I am still working on the new SteamPunk theme when I have the time to do so, but progress isn’t going as I’d hoped. Thanks to everyone writing in asking for it…I am working on it, i promise! I’ve got some paying clients and their projects have to take priority.

Since closing down my other businesses and focusing on the Art of Peter Beckley, my own client list has grown, and I’m very pleased about it. I was a bit nervous at first because I think all artists/designers have a bit of self-doubt regarding their work and it’s value. It’s reassuring to me to know that the work I do is not only valuable, but in demand by my clients and their social contacts. So thankyou to everyone who out there who hire me for work, but also find it worthy enough to mention to your circle of friends when they need some creative solutions developed!

New website project

Hey everyone, been keeping busy of the past several weeks since I’ve returned to my art with a vengence. Yes, I’m still working on the new iGoogle Steampunk theme, I promise, but I can’t force it and other things are creeping up, including some paying jobs, so my personal stuff takes a bit of a back seat at times when I got to “bring home the bacon”.

I’m working on a new site that will totally kick ass once opened up! It’s a wiki, based on the media wiki engine that runs Wikipedia, but it’s not that kind of site or project. It’s something much cooler than that! Here is a shot of the place holder for the intro page to give you some idea of what I’m doing.

Everyone says it’s kinda creepy and not like my usual stuff. I agree, but think that is some of what makes it so great. I think that every needs to explore their “dark” side a bit, just to get a better understanding of who you really are.

New Blog Avatar

I have a new blog, which is completely unrelated to my art, and I needed an avatar. I thought I’d at least show you guys some of the stuff I’ve been doing lately. Get the details.

Lots and lots of folks have been asking for it…well, I’m finally able to dedicate some time to it. Check out the project details page to see the teaser shot…but don’t expect me to give away all the goodies, lol!

Jefferson’s iPod

jeffersons-ipod-folio

Guess what happens when I listen to a show that hypothesizes Thomas Jefferson having an iPod and what it would contain. Without a doubt one of the easiest projects I’ve don’t, but also one of the most fun. Everyone who has seen it smiles or laughs, and that makes me feel great. If you want to learn more about President Jefferson, head over to the Thomas Jefferson Hour website and get your learn on!
