Being inspired

Looking back at my own work can be inspiring.

Animated River Tam Figurine Revealed

After 4 months of secrecy, the animated River Tam figurine has been revealed. This is my first project with QMx. So I am very happy the way it turned out. Click on the photo to see more shots of the figurine.

Ironman iPad Wallpaper

Ironman 2 is couple days away, so get your iPad ready with this wallpaper that I created in illustrator.

[Update: I updated the wallpaper to 1024 by 1024 so it works in both orientations. The original one can be found here.]

[Update: iPhone/iPod version can be found here]

Flash View

I’m getting emails about the whole Adobe vs. Apple Flash debate and my views about it. My view is simple, I agree with Apple. Not because I’m an Apple lover, but because I have been developing in Flash since the beginning.

When we develop in Flash, we add a lot of bells and whistles to make it interesting. For the longest time, those features work well with a computer mouse. But how well does it work with a mobile touch screen. A good example would be a Flash site that uses a mouse position to interact with the screen (steering in a game without clicking or keys). If you loaded that same Flash piece onto a touch screen mobile device, where is the mouse? Another good example would be an info graphic style Flash site that uses mouse over to display information or directions. Again how would that work on a touch screen mobile device?

Of course a lot of that can be fixed if the developer went in and changed/added more code to handle touch events. However, does the general public really know that? Does the general public really know a lot needs to happen for it to work on a touch screen mobile device? All I’m hearing from Adobe is that Flash is important; it’s the only solution for interactivity and animation.

What I’m hearing from Apple, there is another solution for interactivity and animation. For the longest time, we were using whatever Adobe was throwing at us. Now Apple is telling us there is another way and maybe a better way. I rather see a site adapt to a browser or mobile device seamlessly.

Anyways, that is my view about the whole situation. I’m pretty much open for a better solution.
