A compensation case about Visionary Design Systems (VDS), a small, high-tech full service systems integration firm based in Silicon Valley with eleven offices throughout the country. All employees, including engineers, administrators, and receptionists, received a significant portion of their income from commissions and bonuses, and all were shareholders. The company espoused a philosophy of empowerment, under which all employees were given substantial decision-making authority, and were expected to act in the interests of the firm. This case examines one group that, although it had both the authority and the incentives to exploit a new market opportunity, continued to wait for top management's instructions and approval before making decisions or taking action.
learning objective:
Examines the costs and benefits of decentralized decision rights and the creative use of incentives. Also illustrates the potential problems with compensation systems that assume that well-informed employees faced with the right incentives will make the right decisions.
subjects covered:
Compensation; Employee compensation; Incentives; Service management
- Geographic: Silicon Valley
- Company Revenue: $18 million revenues
- Event Year Begin: 1994
- Event Year End: 1994

I bought these 'buds when they were on sale last week. I haven't purchased ear buds in years but these sound really good. I read all the reviews and people seemed to think they sound tinny, I disagree. I think you just need to get the little rubber end piece seated inside your ear properly otherwise you lose fidelity. Listened to the new Daft Punk record today and I've never heard better audio in my life to be quite honest. All of my home/car audio is either Bose or Boston Acoustics. Do recommend for the money. EDIT: I'm referring to the E1s
Do th S-1 sell in a pair or per speaker?
Steer clear of the G-17. Despite its gorgeous looks and great sound, I just returned mine to Best Buy after repeated cut-outs and disconnections. I do wonder if it has better luck with AirPort Utility 5.6 vs. 6.0.
Despite JStealth's comment, I'll ask if anyone can provide me a link to the discussion thread from the recent sale on the G-17s. Thank you! Nevermind - found it.
Energy by Klipsch 2.1 computer speakers have a good rating over at Amazon.com and are cheaper by $.50 w/shipping. http://www.amazon.com/Energy-Power-EM-2-1-Multimedia-System/dp/B005XSXB5U/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1369235234&sr=8-1&keywords=energy+computer+speakers
I would be all over the Synergy floor speakers if they were F3's instead of F1's. I own the F1's and are ready to upgrade. Woot if your listening. List the F3 floor models PLEASE!!!
I have the iGroove SXT, bought from woot a while back. I paid more for it at the time (it was probably new), but have felt it to be money well spent. I plug my ipod classic into it with the alarm set and wake up to music every morning. The sound quality is stunning for the size speakers they are. I really enjoy it, and would recommend to anyone for a small to medium size room.
You could put together a smokin' speaker system. Put 2 F1's, a couple S1's a C1 and one of them subwoofers on an order and you'd have a killer surround system. Kids these days. To build a Klipsch surround system 20 years ago would have been exponentially more expensive. But after all these years you couldn't get me to part with them.
Word of warning on the ProMedia computer speakers - they sound great...until the power/volume POT starts to go out...then you get distortion and sound cutting in and out when trying to adjust the volume/turn them on/off. I've got a set that did this, and after searching the 'net, it's a very common problem :\
Is the Mirage speaker price for one speaker or for a pair?
tonyholt wrote:Is the Mirage speaker price for one speaker or for a pair?
Good question. Since customers have a limit of two, I'm guessing it's only one, but I'm not the expert. Fantastic reviews though. While we're at it, what's the power handling capacity of these bad boys? By speaker of course.
steiger21 wrote:Do th S-1 sell in a pair or per speaker?
Most surround speakers are sold in pairs. I ordered what I believe to be 3 pair. I will be very upset to only get 3 speakers since I have seen prices as low as $139 for a pair elsewhere. Surely Woot wouldn't split up a boxed set. Woot they?

If you're concerned with your purchase and have any questions regarding the order please feel free to email into Woot Member Services at firstname.lastname@example.com and they'll be more than happy to help you out. UPDATE: Just heard back that you are getting two speakers. The sale has been updated to make this more clear.
Got the E1s when they were on here last week. For $9 buds they're not bad...but you need to keep your expectations low. You do get what you pay for, they lack a lot of bass and have a strong upper-midrange that comes on very strong like a lot of cheap earbuds. With a bit of EQing they are definitely liveable, I'd get another if I needed them.
Is there any way to buy 4 F-1s? I'd like to get 4 of those + a C-1, so my surrounds will be full range.

5 "..COOL NINJA FILM.."sdx800 | 23/03/2010 | See all sdx800's reviews (1814)Number 1 Reviewer Number 1 DVD Reviewer Top 100 Games Reviewer Top 10 Gadgets Reviewer Top 10 Toys Reviewer This is another cool underrated film that is certainly worth checking out if you love good martial arts movies! There are not too many cool ninja films lately so it makes this even more of a treat! The action is great, there are some pretty cool fight scenes from the good cast, there is loads of blood spraying all over the screen!! The story is simple and easy to sit back and cruise along to! Sure to entertain most action fans, worth checking out. NOT as good as the even more awesome NINJA ASSASSIN which is also available!!
4 Ningadoghunter1 | 05/07/2010 | See all doghunter1's reviews (128)Top 100 Reviewer Top 100 DVD Reviewer Movie about two students one turns into a ninga assassin in want of a sacred box of ninga weapons passed down through the generations and the other is to protect the box of weapons.This all leads to a great little film about dis-honour of the ninga code and some great fight scenes in and around america.I have to add that Scott ADKINS is awesome as ever and deserves as much credit as he deserves for doing all his on stunts and delivering great entertainment in the way of martial arts.If you liked undisputed 2 (scott adkins) then get this.
2 Not to Be Mistaken For "Ninja Assassin"ReliantRobin | 04/04/2010 | See all ReliantRobin's reviews (13)Since the demise of Cannon Films, there has been a distinct lack of movies about Ninja. While for many this will have slipped by completely unnoticed, there will be those feeling nostalgic for the days when Michael Dudikoff rushed around colourful Phillipino locations stopping for inordinate amounts of combat with mystical hooded assassins. After years of waiting, Ninja fans - and there must be some out there - have been rewarded with the release of 2 new movies. First out on DVD is the imaginatively titled "Ninja" - not be confused with the other bigger budgeted Warner Bros release "Ninja Assassin". This Ninja is unleashed by Nu Image, a company specialising in cheap and cheesy low budget action flicks. Not dissimilar to the glory days of Cannon in fact. The plot here is strictly standard issue: American Orphan Casey (Scott Adkins) has been raised in a Japanese dojo where he has been taught the ancient skills of ninjitsu by his mentor, Sensei (Togo Igawa). With a rogue assassin on the loose and some precious artefacts at risk, Casey is ordered back to the States where he must protect a chest filled with sacred weapons belonging to the last great Ninja. Cue the requisite amount of twirling bodies, bone snapping and blood letting (though less gratuitous than "Ninja Assassin"). The swift pace helps to hide a dearth of originality, not to mention a thrifty budget - with a backlot in Bulgaria standing in for the mean streets of New York. Adkins makes for a bland hero, though at least he handles the fight scenes convincingly. The set pieces are competently staged by director Florentine, and while the movie manages to be moderately entertaining it will be quickly forgotten afterwards.
2 Ninjagavtherock | 11/07/2010 | See all gavtherock's reviews (15)I brought this with the attitude that these days most serious martial arts movies are less cheese and more culture. I was proven wrong, say no more.
3 MEN IN BLACK.MovieAddict | 21/05/2010 | See all MovieAddict's reviews (1336)Top 10 Reviewer Top 10 DVD Reviewer As stated in previous reviews this Ninja movie is not to be confused with the excellent Ninja Assassin.What it is, is a fast paced Direct to DVD action movie. It wears it's limitations on it's sleeve and to be honest it's very entertaining. Directed with style by Isaac Florentine (Undisputed 2) and making the most of it budget limitation there is never a dull moment. The fight scenes are breathless and very impressive and shows off Scott Adkins matial arts skills to good effect. Like most films of this nature the plot does not really matter, as it just joins the dots to the next bout of action. Although lacking the bigger budget and blood lust of Ninja Assassin, Ninja is a great little action movie, anybody who in the 1980's could not get enough of Ninja movies such as American Ninja should get a kick out of this.Well worth watching.

The top 5 feel-good stories of 2012
Everyone on the internet couldn't stop talking about Marilyn Hagerty, an 85-year-old columnist at the Grand Forks Herald in North Dakota. Her earnest and well-written review of her town's first Olive Garden in March inspired both adoration and snark for giving a common chain restaurant such thorough and often positive comments. Despite the snide and sometime mocking response, many chefs and food enthusiasts ran to the elderly woman's defense. Anthony Bourdain offered to publish a book with her. Others called the review "nostalgic" and said made them want to visit the small rural town.
In addition to her newfound recognition, Hagerty's story is great because she rose above the snark. Her daughter urged her to read the Facebook comments on the review, but she declined. "I told her I'm working on my Sunday column and I'm going to play bridge this afternoon, so I don't have time to read all this crap," she told the Grand Forks Herald.

Oh to dream
But I think it would be fascinating. I love these images from her website. I've always been more of a traditional quilter in style. Until this past year. I've become mesmerized by this less-traditional, Gee's-Bend, Denyse-Schmidt look. I think that the quilting-blogging community has inspired me in this direction as well. I've only really tried it with my Baskets and Arcadia quilts. And even then, I was a bit tame. I stuck to one color scheme or fabric collection. I'm dying to do more.
If you are like me and can't go hang out with Denyse yourself, you might like reading about Kacie's experience doing so on her blog Quiltivate. (She also has a great catalog of traditional quilt blocks.) This photo is from her class. Doesn't it look amazing?
9 comments:
I am so with you! I love Denyse's stuff. I have one of her books and I love to look and drool. I have one quilt picked out for my bed that is on the agenda (someday). When I showed it to Mr. Cactus he was thumbs up and has even asked how long it will be. I have so many lined up that my answer is always "who knows". Meanwhile, I just keep looking and drooling.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Amy!
I have also found that my style/taste in fabric has changed. When I first started quilting, I was drawn to more traditional colors and designs.
Now, I love BOLD and BRIGHT colors. I don't know but it might have to do with the season. I am also drawn to simplistic designs that highlight the fabric.
I also am too far away to go to Denyse's workshop so until then I will just watch and drool!Great post! I hopped right on over to Purl Bee and then to Denyse's site. Bridgeport is only 45 minutes from me! Hmmm... you have me thinking I may just have to take a class. I, like you am also captivated by improv and that is why I participated in Jacquies Project Improv. Although, I will have to save for a little while before I can take one of her classes.
ReplyDeleteDenyse's book Quilts was one of the first I bought. I still love it and I'm a fan of her fabrics as well. The funny thing is that I like both the traditional as the modern quilts. I sometimes feel a bit split. My taste in fabrics has also changed due to all the input on blogs. Sadly we can hardly buy any of the lovely designer fabrics in our quiltstores, so I'm happy with all the gorgeous on-line shops! Thanks for the link and the pictures!
Thank you so much for your comments - they make my day! I try to respond to as many as my 'mommy' time allows, but life sometimes gets in the way. Please know how much I appreciate each of them.
I apologize for the current comment settings that require a registered user account. They are the only way that I don't get tons of gross spam.

Powerful Parametric Constraints
Often referred to as variational sketching, the D-Cubed™ 2D DCM constraint manager from Siemens Industry Software Limited gives you greater control and productivity. By setting up constraints, you get more done, create part families faster, incorporate red-line changes more quickly, and have the flexibility to evaluate different designs with ease. Access a host of geometric and dimensional constraints in TurboCAD Pro, as well as mid-point and pattern constraints with TurboCAD Pro Platinum.
TurboCAD Pro includes tools necessary to rapidly annotate your designs. The Drafting Palette accelerates creating Views, Sections, Elevations, Floorplans, and Detail Views in numerous display styles. A full range of Dimension types that are style driven are available as well as Tables, Text, and Multi-Text tools as expected. Plus, dimension scaling in Viewports within a paper space is automatic.
Symbols Library
TurboCAD Pro comes complete with a number of sample symbols as well as a much larger collection of parametric parts. This program also includes several special parametric symbols used in certain types of annotation that help in communicating with manufacturers.
Parametric Parts Manage
Create and consume parts that remain parametrically controlled even after insertion into your drawing. There is also a method to draw variably constrained parts and convert them to parametric parts using a wizard. Because the parts can be saved individually, like a symbol, libraries of .PPM objects can be created, shared, and reused from project to project.
Easy Design Director
The Design Director palette streamlines work and enhances productivity with advanced controls for Layers, Layer Filters, creating Layer Sets, setting and saving Work Planes, controlling Named Views, and more.
Rendering & Visualisation
TurboCAD Pro provides several render modes in which to work, or present your designs. The Redway3D® drawing engine utilises the power of supported on-board GPU or graphics boards for faster panning, zooming, and orbiting, while the Lightworks v8.3 rendering engine allows you to create stunning photorealistic and artistic presentations of your designs.
Lighting & Materials
A new material editor along with a complete library of materials is included with TurboCAD Pro. Define physically accurate materials, including reflective surfaces with ray tracing and radiosity. There is also robust support for lighting and luminance.
External References (Xrefs)
All of the file formats that may be opened and imported, except bitmap images, may be used as an external reference (Xref). TurboCAD offers Xref clipping for dozens of file formats and binding of Xrefs, which can then be exploded and edited. Xref layers are also easy to manage, including with layer filters.
Software Developers' Kit (SDK)
TurboCAD Pro lets you extend the functionality of the application with the ability to develop new tools, functions, and behaviors. Custom routines that are performed on a regular basis can be automated. Specific tools for vertical applications can be created and added. Even commercial plug-in applications may be developed and sold. Updated documentation and samples are provided and there is a wiki and forum-based support online.
File Interoperability
TurboCAD makes it easy to maintain your intellectual property investment and share your work. New TurboCAD Pro 20 supports export of 3D models to 3D .PDF which can be viewed interactively with Acrobat Reader. Plus, users can open, insert, or embed up to 35 file formats and export up to 28, including .DWG, .DXF (from R14 through 2013 including AutoCAD® Architecture extensions), .SKP (Google™ SketchUp™, to version 8), .3DM (Rhinoceros®), .3DS (Autodesk® 3ds Max®), IGES, STEP, .OBJ, COLLADA (.DAE – export); and many more.

Many U.S. companies are looking to maximize the value of their intangible property by exploiting it outside the U.S. However, such international transfers of intangible property can be fraught with tax traps for the unwary. This course provides an overview of the tax consequences of various types of common commercial arrangements that involve the development, ownership, and use of intangible property within multinational groups and highlights some of the more tax efficient arrangements such as research and licensing arrangements, cost sharing arrangements, and the use of intangible holding companies. Prerequisite or concurrent: T515 International Taxation I or T516 International Taxation II.

It's not every day that you get to take a simple, classic board game like Battleship and blow it up to life-size proportions. For those land-lubbers who doubt that this can be done, please review the short video below to banish the questions and instill an understanding that this is real life.
Standing on the edge of the pool, watching the crowds of excited students cheering on their friends as they attempted to sink each others canoes thrilled me. The energy was so positive, the game was so ridiculous, and the chance to jump in myself was taken swiftly.
This is what the university does every weekend. Events are put on for students who either lack the creativity to think of something to do on a Saturday night (which is ridiculous, since there's so much to do around Butler) or for those who think floundering in a canoe in need of bailing out is a fun way to spend a weekend.

"One day after the free agent signing period began, Blues General Manager Doug Armstrong agreed to a deal in principle with center Derek Roy.
Roy, 30, has played in 591 career NHL games and has recorded 168 goals and 287 assists (455 points). His best season came as a member of the Buffalo Sabres, when he registered 81 points in 78 games played during the 2007-08 season.
Shortly after agreeing to a deal with the Blues, Roy took some time to answer a few questions here at stlouisblues.com. Here is our interview."
Looks like Armstrong intends to win a lot of 1-0 games next year.
Seriously am I the only one who sees lack of scoring as this teams' Achilles Heel?

...Don't feel bad if your teachers don't have a lot of technical advice on working digitally. All I did in college was paint in acrylic and oil, and it was the same for buddies of mine like Josh Cochran, Sam Weber, Jillian Tamaki, Tomer Hanuka, and James Jean. Also, I teach at a great school in Baltimore, and I don't let most of them even touch the computer.The way I learned digital coloring was pretty straightforward: trial and error. Basically, I wanted my work to look like it was a printed comic book page. Everything else slowly evolved out of that.Early on, I hated the "slickness" of digital coloring, having been a very textural painter in school, so that was a big part of the learning process. One option for getting a bit of texture into the image is to scan it so that you have some paper texture with the line work.Another option you may want to try is to scan in some papers you like. I have 4 or 5 that I go back to, depending on the assignment, such as newsprint, etching paper, and watercolor paper. You can use "Multiply" to have them add texture to your artwork. It will take some fussing around with until you get it how you like it.I also like to experiment a lot with my illustration process. Most of the time, I will make unique textures for each illustration and scan them in separately. If you have a printer, you can print out your ink work in a light color, and then try doing ink washes over it for shadows & stuff.And for keeping your lines black, there are several ways to do it, but the "multiply" option is the easiest.All that said, I'm going to reiterate the point that you don't need digital instruction in school. It's much more important for you to focus on design and composition. Know how to use the computer, but don't use it for making art from scratch.If you look around the web and notice that your work fits in too much -- that is, if it looks a lot like what everyone else is doing or like what everyone else is trying to do -- it's a very bad thing for your future career. Do whatever you can to stand out. I worry about all the digital artists coming out of school these days -- not for myself, but for them, because they all look the same.My work is going to start looking very dated in a few years, probably... which will be bad for me, but much worse for new artists who are just emerging and already look dated. So, I advise playing around and trying different media for a while. It's easier to learn watercolor or acrylics while you're in school than it is when you're trying to pay rent. Or, you could try tweaking your drawing style-- anything to make you stand out from the pack. Find out what is unique or weird about your own sensibilities.As fashion metaphors are concerned, it's better to dress like a techno-goth weirdo, than to look like 90% of the population who just walked out of the Gap.I checked out the link you gave me, and it seems like you know about as much as you need to know for digital coloring. There's really no magic to any of it, just play around with layer settings like multiply, color, overlay, and opacity, and see what comes of it. Work on your drawing and design skills.Good luck,Frank

Digital Coloring Advice - An Open Letter

All round good advice. I hope many people read it.
cheers - 12:41 PM
- Manuel Dupong said...
Thanks a lot for sharing that!
Peace - 12:42 PM
- Frank said...
Thanks Manuel, Sascha! I've noticed there's a lot of anxiety with students feeling that they have to know digital art today to be marketable.
Photoshop has been as revolutionary to the way we make art today as the invention of photography, in my opinion. Just as a camera can be helpful in our drawing, Photoshop can be helpful with our design... but you still have to go through the pain period of learning to do it the old fashioned way before you can really take advantage of it.
--frank - 3:04 PM
- Goni said...
Couldn't agree more. I made the mistake of starting off mostly, if not all digital. Grew way too comfortable and developed no traditional media skills until much later. It's embarrassing but I could barely draw without having a computer in front of me, let alone create a full piece. Then some really good teachers came along and took the time to teach me the traditional media abc's... which took years of readjusting everything I thought I knew.
The quality of work improved as my dependence on photoshop diminished...
So... can't have a good artist without learning the basics, and you sir, are an excellent example. - 5:50 PM
- jen mussari said...
Really great advice, awesome post!
I do disagree with one thing, though, and that's being different for the sake of being different.
Here's a piece of advice a mentor of mine gave me in high school for success: "Do you. Whatever it is that makes YOU more YOU, do that."
It applies so well for illustration. I believe it's important to recognize and shun trends, but if what you are doing happens to be trendy, that's ok too. As long as it's yours.
As for the clothing metaphor: It's best to dress in the way that describes your personality. Not like a "techno-goth weirdo" just for the sake of being different, and not like everyone else for the sake of being like everyone else.
If you dress/draw/act like you, you will be timeless. - 6:27 PM
- Frank said...
Goni - I'm glad to hear that you spent that time working on your traditional media. By the way, I think the phrase "traditional" or "natural" media sounds really odd. I never thought of there being such a distinction.
Jen - I mostly agree with what your teacher said--however, very few people put in the time to experiment with different ideas and ways of working to ever really find out what "be yourself" is.
If being yourself means judging by your comfort level, then of course you're going to do what everyone else is doing -- because the majority of people will not be challenged or offended by "you."
Standing out and being different from the crowd is hard. If you aren't just like everything else out there, you're going to be challenged and disliked by others. But those challenges will build character than really gives you faith and true understanding of what it means to be "you."
It's alarming to see hordes of student work that all looks generic -- some of it done quite well. However, the people who stand out are the people who have their own take on things, that are individuals. In short, they have taken the time to develop their own personalities.

- John W. Tomac said...
Great Advice.
Regardless of the medium, digital or otherwise, drawing skills are extremely important. You can't fake those. I'd agree with you that the best way to hone drawing skills is to do so with traditional media. It's worked for the last few hundred years.
At the end of the day, the computer is another tool to make art. It won't make your work better or more marketable or hide your deficiencies. - 9:39 AM
- Celine said...
Great advice---I try to keep a mix of working in paint and working on the computer. My senior year at MICA, I realized my digital work was lifeless and generic, and Rachel gave me the green light to just do a series of personal gouache paintings. They were the best pieces I'd ever done and I learned so much about myself and my aesthetics. Now I'm back to working digitally, but I feel I have a lot of ideas about how to make it look unique to me.
A technical tip: I like making photoshop brushes out of smears of ink and paint and pencil on textured paper. It'll never give the same kind of feel as working traditionally, but it is just one more way to personalize the experience. Also Soft Light is way underrated. - 1:09 PM
- rinaj said...
thank you for this post. I think you brought it to the point, where I failed to couch it for several years. :)
- Anonymous said...
I can echo what some of you have said about the "pain" period. OMG! when you first start drawing you think you can draw from your imagination but then you get blasted for not knowing anatomy, you then copy the whole Bridgman or Hogarth books and then it's like DAMN! I "STILL" need reference? Did copying this shi* even help me? I think everything starts with ideas, how should you flex a muscle? How would the drapery fall, where would the drapery fall? Does my character look stiff? Is everything in proper proportion? How should I scale the picture! etc.... when we make these decisions, over time your art starts to look like "you" . You collect reference and decide what you want to show and decide what you want to leave out. Like frank said, the worst thing that can happen is to look like somebody else, because then you're easily replaceable.
-Kenneth - 2:56 PM
- Matthew Blissard said...
This is fantastic advice. I've been following your blog ever since I saw the illustration of Luke with his lightsaber you had done (I'm definitely a self-proclaimed Star Wars geek). I can't get enough. Thank you for this excellent post.
- will said...
Thank you for the post, I have been following your work from some time and being an freelance illustrator in a world that celebrates being trendy and following the crowd is accepted becomes a real challenge. I agree with your comments because every time I go on sites like deviantart there are tons of artist who want to have that slick digital look and spend tons of money trying to appeal to masses but at the same time lack the personality and humane spirit that makes one true to themselves. So if I can add to what has been said be true to yourself and stop worrying what others think.
Will - 7:56 PM
- Frank said...
John - I agree with you. I think that art comes down to developing one's sensitivity, which is tough to do in front of a monitor.
Celine - Thanks for the advice on brushes. You'll have to show me how to do that. Also, from what I hear, Rachel is a great teacher. It's a shame she isn't at MICA anymore.
Rinaj - You're welcome! Thanks for commenting.
Kenneth - Yes, the "pain period!" I find that when you're doing all the right things as an artist, your work goes through cycles -- times where you are frustrated and trying to evolve into something better, times where things are starting to come together and you're happy with the results, times when you hit a groove and are making progress steadily, and times where you become dissatisfied and start thinking of ways to change things up. And the cycle repeats itself...
Matthew - You're welcome, Matthew. I hope I can continue to post helpful articles for you.
Will - That's true, you shouldn't care what others think--to an extent, of course. Illustration is also about the client's needs and wants. But it's a lot better to stand out from the crowd than it is to fade into the background as far as employability is concerned. There are still hundreds of very good, very successful illustrators who aren't making "slick" digital work. A few who come to mind are Chris Buzzeli, Sam Weber, Erik Sandberg, and Peter DeSeve. All of them are Earth-Shatteringly awesome artists.

- Joe Kresoja said...
great post
- Jed said...
I used to use a lot of digital color, mostly flat color, and work looked like an inferior version of a lot of the folks I admired without much of its own personality. More recently I've been working hard to improve my drawing chops and started messing with scanned watercolor and pastel textures and I feel my work has much more of its own identity, not just because of the scanned textures, but because of my approach in general. Now, even though I assemble my work on the computer, the pieces I assemble start out largely analog, and my inspirations come from more of a place of classical illustration than contemporary. I think this gives my work a more timeless look, though I'm still influenced by the contemporary work I see, and from the modernists--all of it falls into the same stew, and hopefully what comes out is more me than anything else.
And I don't think that great work can't be made on the computer alone! I have seen some terrific 100% digital work.
I will attest to the fact that the computer can be learned on your own. In school I hated the computer. Later, through tutorials and books I was able to learn photoshop and illustrator, which cursed my work for a couple of years with a horrible astro bright palette and way too many gradients, but now I've arrived at a more comfortable place. For the most part, people don't tend to suspect that my work is digital at all! - 11:13 AM
- Frank said...
Thanks Jed, Joe. I agree that great work can be made anywhere, but it's tough to develop the "touch" without spending the time with yourself to make tangible artwork.

I agree with everything, except I find the irony in this post that the first time I saw your illustrations was after mistaking you for Tomer Hanuka in a magazine. Times are changing.
- ajmitchell said...
Frank: Something that wasn't covered yet but I was curious about is do art directors and editors prefer that you work digitally and did that influence your decision to work digitally? I haven't experienced that with clients but I was interested in what your experience was.
- Rich Pellegrino said...
Hey Frank
I'm with you on this 100%. Making art should be exciting and always interesting for you (at least the majority of the time).
Rehashing something that's already been done by someone else is never that. Confusing triumphs of technical ability in lieu of finding you own nitch is dangerous and something all students should be made aware of.
Great post dude! - 11:59 PM
- Helice Wen said...
Thank you! I am glad that I read this. Now I am more confident about learning digital technique on my own.
- molly shoelace said...
thanks for posting this. i always struggle with working digitally because i question the integrity of it. since i studied art in college before computers, i have a personal stigma that is difficult to overcome. i enjoy coloring in with photoshop and i like the final outcome and the ability to tweak color, etc. but in the back of my head there is a little voice saying i should be doing this all by hand for it to be honest work. i'm glad to know you are self-taught, because i often have doubts about that too--like i must be missing some integral link since i didn't actually have any training.
anyway, thanks again. - 12:58 PM
- bill said...
I had forgotten how much i enjoy your blog. This is going right to my students. One of my favorite things about working digitally, the few times that I do, is the discovery factor. If I had to wade through tutorials in order to learn photoshop etc., I would go crazy. That simple, what is around the next corner?, is one of the main things that keeps me going whether I work traditionally or digitally. Thanks for this great advice and I hope you don't mind if I put a link on my site.
- Frank said...
Hey guys, sorry I haven't answered any comments in a while.
Anonymous - Tomer is a huge influence, and I have the utmost respect for him. That said, I hope your mistaking my work for his is not a frequent occurrence. I've never intentionally tried to take someone else's "look."
AJMitchell - The cream of illustration can work in whatever media they want, in my humble opinion. The best guys seem to find a way to stand out. That said, you can't ignore that there is a trend of slick, digital-looking work that's been going on for quite some time. So, obviously it's a fashionable way to be working right now.
Rich - Thanks! I find that it's been helpful for me to dictate the media that my illustration 1 students are using, rather than having the chaos of 15 different people working in 15 different kinds of media. It seems to have brought everyone up to having the same conversation.
Helice - Hey Helice! That's the way to do it, I think. Find out what you want stuff to look like, and play with the media until you get it.
Molly - Hey! I've had a lot of technical training in painting, drawing, etc. But one thing you'll find is that everyone is basically self-taught, if they have any kind of style. At a certain point, you have to make it your own, and that's when you are essentially teaching yourself.
I think that digital work isn't something you need to feel bad about. It's like being afraid of "cheating" by using photography. All the great artists who have had access to photography have used it -- not because they were cheating, but because they were smart enough to realize that the only thing that really matters is the quality of your end result. That said, I enjoy working offline more enjoyable these days.
Bill - Go ahead and put a link on your site! I'm flattered. Good luck with your class!
--Frank - 12:18 PM
- jan said...
Thanks for this post. I'm a 3rd yr BA student in London, UK and we barely have any technical education at all. It's all ideas, and not so amazing necesarilly. So I've kind of stagnated in my usual comic book-based half analogue, half digital process. I'll try to listen to your advice here, and mix up my process, and go back to the basics as much as I can.
But I think it's important to have teachers who see you. I don't really know what to bring forth in my work to stand out more, or what to drop. Or what style to use in the first place, as I'm fairly versatile... - 4:09 PM
- Eduardo Vieira said...
Amazing advices, sir. I really liked the way ou approached the importance of lines, traditional art, design and composition ver digital colors. Looks like everyone's digitally painting on these days and no one is having an identity; and sometimes, if we don't manage to remember ourselves of staying out of this fashion we can be dragged in. Thanks for remembering.
- Diogo Pinto said...
I´m starting college next month, and I´ve been all summer struggling to choose between a digital course or a plastic one.This post was just a final confirmation that i´m making the right choice and going to study Drawing at the Faculty of Fine-Arts.
Thanks again for the post. - 7:59 PM

andre1969 Posts: 22,298That guy makes building the pyramids sound like a rush job!
My coworker, who has known this guy a lot longer than I have, said that he's a procrastinator. So, given this 45 year track record, I don't think this '54 Benz will ever get put back together. I think it's pretty wild, that this car has been in parts for longer than I've been alive!
I was impressed, too, that after 6 years of sitting on my property, all four tires on that '52 parts car still held air. I had never bothered to put air in them, and as far as I know, the owner never did either. He would come by every once in awhile to put a box of parts in the car, or take something out, but that was about it. -

isellhondas Issaquah WashingtonPosts: 18,184I'm three months late here but that Buick is a 1950 for sure.
For some reason, 1951 side trim has been installed. I've seen that done before and I don't know if dealers were doing this or people were trying to give their 1950 and updated look.
Personally, I don't like that look on a 1950. -

isellhondas Issaquah WashingtonPosts: 18,184I would have argued with you but after spending some time looking, it appears you're correct.
Most 1950 Roadmasters had that single horizontal stainless strip on the side.
Now, I've seen a couple with the '51 trim on the sides but I always figured it was some dealer installed accessory.
I still don't like that look but that's me.
When I belonged to the Buick club, one of our members had the nicest 1950 Super I've ever seen. 25,000 original miles! -

Flames poke out from the roof of 135 Bow St. in Portsmouth Friday night during a five-alarm fire. (Monika O'Clair/Democrat photo)
At 7:45 p.m., Portsmouth began using their water truck to fight the flames as many onlookers watched from the Bow Street sidewalk.Around 8 p.m., LeClaire said crews "were making progress," but that part of the building's roof had collapsed.Of the five-story building, LeClaire said the fire was from the third floor to the roof. He said wind was not as much as an issue as the location of the building."It's tricky," he said about how the building sat right on the river. "Limited access."A fifth-alarm was called in shortly before 10 p.m. in what appeared to be an effort to get more crews to continue to battle the blaze.However, Comeau confirmed the fire was under control just after 10 p.m."The main body of the fire is all knocked out," he said. "The fifth alarm is more like overhaul to the damaged areas to make sure the fire is out and to help pick up the equipment."He explained that the fifth alarm brought station coverage to the scene for extra man power."It is contained," he said. "When it is under control, it means it is not getting any bigger.

Prepare 4 October in Cooperstown: Detroit Tigers
While the heartbeat of baseball can be found in Cooperstown throughout the year, there's no better time to reconnect with the National Pastime than when legends are being made. As the postseason approaches, fans all over the country can connect with the Hall of Fame to get in the fall spirit.
The Tigers' 2011 resurgence has brought the team's legends of yesteryear – like Cobb, Greenberg and Kaline – together with the stars of today like Cabrera and Verlander. Tiger fans might not be able to make it to Oakland this weekend to see their team continue its march toward the division crown, but Cooperstown offers a chance to follow along from afar while celebrating the team's legacy in person.
And there is plenty to see for Bengal Believers at the Hall of Fame. To date, 25 Hall of Famers have worn Detroit's Old English D, including 10 who entered the Hall of Fame sporting that signature D on their plaques.
While he's preceded in history by Hall of Fame exec Ed Barrow and teammate Sam Crawford, Ty Cobb was the first Tiger elected to the Hall of Fame – having been a part of the inaugural class of 1936. Cobb, who led the Tigers to pennants in 1907, 1908 and 1909, won an MVP Award in 1911 (at the time a player could only win one during his career) with an other-worldly batting average of .420. He's well represented in the Hall of Fame both in the Museum's Baseball Timeline and in the newest exhibit One for the Books. Artifacts like the 1909 and 1911 Honeyboy Evans trophies, awarded to the all-time career batting leader for batting titles in those seasons, as well as sliding pads worn by the former all-time leader in stolen bases, are on exhibit in Cooperstown. Other artifacts from Cobb in the two exhibits include bats used during a career in which he won 11 batting titles; spikes worn during his career; and even a glove used by the stellar-fielding star, who holds the major league record for most games played in the outfield with 2,934.
The Tigers' 1930s and 40s dynasty has a section devoted to it in the Timeline, marking the achievements of Hall of Famers like Charlie Gehringer, Hank Greenberg, Mickey Cochrane and Hal Newhouser. From 1934 to 1945, this core group took Detroit to the World Series four times, winning in 1935 and 1945. The '36 team holds the franchise record by fielding a lineup of four future Hall of Fame players and player/manager Cochrane. Found within the exhibit about these Motown Mashers are Cochrane's catcher's mitt; Gehringer's bronzed second baseman glove; a home run ball from Greenberg's 1940 league-leading campaign; a cap and jersey worn by Newhouser; and a number of awards, trophies and trinkets given to the group.
Between Fall Classic appearances in 1945 and 1968, notable Hall of Famers like third baseman and batting wizard George Kell, future senator and ace pitcher Jim Bunning and Mr. Tiger himself – Al Kaline – joined the team. Representing this trio in the Timeline are a pair of silver bats awarded to Kell for batting titles in 1943 (in the Interstate League) and 1949; Bunning's spikes from his first career no-hitter – thrown at Fenway on July 20, 1958; and a uniform from Kaline who helped lead the Tigers back to the Fall Classic in 1968 when they topped the Cardinals to become World Champions. This group is also represented in One for the Books by Kaline's 3,000th hit bat and the glove worn by 1968 and 1969 Cy Young Award winner, Denny McLain, who in 1968 became the first big leaguer to win 30 games in a season since 1934.
After Kaline retired, the torch passed to veteran manager Sparky Anderson, who after having won two World Series titles with the Cincinnati Reds, helmed a 1980s Tigers team poised to make some noise. In 1984, they won the World Series – and reached the ALCS again in 1987. Those teams have a spot in Cooperstown with Kirk Gibson's 1987 batting helmet, Lou Whitaker's 1984 championship jersey, Alan Trammel's 1983 Gold Glove jersey, and Jack Morris 1984 no-hitter cap appearing in the Timeline alongside a 1984 Series cap from Sparky.
Recent Detroit squads have plenty of artifacts at the Hall of Fame, celebrating their success. Since winning the AL pennant in 2006, the Tigers have generously donated items found in Today's Game such as: Bats from 2006 ALCS MVP Placido Polanco and ALCS Game Four walk-off home run slugger Magglio Ordonez, (in ¡Viva Baseball!); a jersey from Curtis Granderson, who joined Willie Mays and Frank Schulte as the only players with at least 20 doubles, triples, home runs and steals in a single season in 2007.
Other items within the Hall's walls include a piece of the Tiger Stadium outfield wall (in Sacred Ground); and in Today's Game the cap worn by Brian Moehler on April 11, 2000, when he became the first pitcher to start a game at Comerica Park; and the spikes from Armando Galarraga's near perfect game on June 2, 2010, while first base from the game resides in One for the Books.

Nice trip down Tiger's Memory Lane! Very timely, in that the Tigers are on a historic winning streak… 12 in a row! Last time they won 12 in a row was 1934!
Is Frank Schulte in Hall of Fame?

Bristol City have confirmed the appointment of Sean O'Driscoll as the club's new head coach following the weekend sacking of Derek McInnes.
The Robins parted company with McInnes on Saturday following a 4-0 home defeat by Leicester City which sent the club to the bottom of the Championship.
Coventry City boss Mark Robins was mooted as an early contender for the position, but O'Driscoll has been handed the job of leading the club to safety on a rolling contract.
O'Driscoll was dismissed by Nottingham Forest on Boxing Day after lasting less than six months in charge at the City Ground and turned down a return to management with the Robins' fellow strugglers Barnsley earlier this month.
He was also linked with the Blackpool post following Michael Appleton's departure to Blackburn Rovers last week, but reportedly rejected the Bloomfield Road vacancy in favour of taking charge at Ashton Gate.
O'Driscoll said: "Sometimes you have to go with your gut instinct. It just feels right.
"I think it needs a concerted effort from everyone (to stay up) and I'll get all the credit or blame, but everyone needs to be moving in the same direction.
"We need to hit the ground running and in this topsy-turvy Championship, anything is possible.
"If we put a run together we can soon be in a different position in the league. Everyone I have spoken to is confident we have the ability in the squad to achieve that.
"I like the way the club is being developed. This has always been a well-run football club and that is never going to change."

Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a form of radiation therapy that focuses high-power energy on a small area of the body. Despite its name, radiosurgery is a treatment, not a surgical procedure. Incisions (cuts) are not made on your body.
More than one system is used to perform radiosurgery. This article is about radiosurgery using CyberKnife.
During treatment you lie on a table, which slides into a machine that delivers radiation:
The nurses and doctors can see you on cameras. They can hear you and talk with you on microphones.
Each treatment takes about 30 minutes to 2 hours. Some patients receive more than one treatment session, but usually no more than five sessions.
Stereotactic radiotherapy; SRT; Stereotactic body radiotherapy; SBRT; Fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy; SRS
SRS targets and treats an abnormal area without damaging nearby healthy tissue. SRS is more likely to be recommended for patients who are too high risk for surgery. This may be due to age or other health problems. Or it may be because the area to be treated is too close to important structures inside the body.
CyberKnife is often used to slow the growth of small, deep brain tumors that are hard to remove during surgery that involves incisions.
Tumors of the brain and nervous system that can be treated using CyberKnife include:
Other cancers that can be treated include:
Other medical problems treated with CyberKnife are:
SRS may damage tissue around the area being treated. As compared to other types of radiation therapy, CyberKnife treatment is much less likely to damage nearby healthy tissue.
Brain swelling may occur in people who receive treatment to the brain. Swelling usually goes away without treatment. But some people may need medicines to control this swelling. In rare cases, surgery with incisions (open surgery) is needed to treat the brain swelling caused by the radiation.
Before the treatment, you will have MRI or CT scans. These images help your doctor determine the specific treatment area.
The day before your procedure:
The day of your procedure:
Often, you can go home about 1 hour after the treatment. Arrange ahead of time for someone to drive you home. You can go back to your regular activities the next day if there are no complications such as swelling. If you have complications, you may need to stay in the hospital overnight for monitoring.
The effects of CyberKnife treatment may take weeks or months to be seen. Prognosis depends on the condition being treated. Your health care provider will likely monitor your progress using imaging tests such as MRI and CT scans.

A Million Solar Roofs
Too much of California's energy still comes from dirty sources that harm our environment. By tapping the power of the sun, we can repower our lives with clean energy that doesn't pollute and never runs out.
On track to hit a million solar roofs
Every hour, the sun radiates more energy onto the earth than the entire human population uses in a whole year. By capturing just a tiny fraction of this energy, we can decrease our dependence on fossil fuels like natural gas and coal, leading to cleaner air, reduced global warming pollution, and thousands of new jobs.
That's why Environment California created the Million Solar Roofs campaign in 2006. Thanks to the hard work of thousands of supporters who donated, made phone calls, signed petitions, and came out to events, we passed landmark legislation to support California's growing solar industry. Our goal? Reach a million solar roofs statewide by the year 2020.
Today, California is on pace to hit the Million Solar Roofs target ahead of schedule, and our state is unquestionably the nation's solar leader. The price of solar has dropped more than 45% since the program began in 2006, and California's solar industry now employs more than 43,000 people.
But the battle isn't over
Powerful utility companies are threatened by the idea of homeowners and small businesses generating their own energy. The utilities are joining hands with the fossil fuel industry and opposing us every step of the way. Environment California has fought hard in Sacramento to protect the laws that have enabled the solar industry's stratospheric growth. For instance, we're working to defend net metering, which allows homeowners and small businesses to receive credit on their electricity bills for energy that they produce on-site.
We're also going on the offensive, working to build support for a bold vision of California's solar future. Gov. Jerry Brown recently made a public call for California to install 12 gigawatts of local clean energy by 2020. That's significant: 12 GW is the equivalent of 12 nuclear power plants. By rallying around the governor's vision, we can reach our goal of a million solar roofs— and blow past it—by the end of this decade. Join our campaign by endorsing Gov. Brown's clean energy vision today.
Finally, Environment California is highlighting local leaders all over the state who are moving the ball forward on solar power. Lancaster and Sebastopol have passed groundbreaking mandates requiring all new buildings to be constructed with solar panels. Richmond leaders dramatically cut prices on permits for residential solar installations. We are shining a spotlight on these visionary solar leaders and encouraging other city governments to follow in their footsteps.
By continuing to expand California's reliance on solar power, we can transform our economy, generate jobs, protect our health, and preserve our environment for generations to come.
Help California get to a million solar roofs — and more.
Key facts
Check out our campaign to make Los Angeles a world-class solar city:
- California's solar industry celebrated a major milestone in November 2011 — the installation of more than 1,000 megawatts of rooftop solar photovoltaic capacity in total.
- Since the Million Solar Roofs initiative began, the total installed cost of residential solar power systems in California has fallen 25%, and the cost of commercial-scale systems has fallen more than 40%. If progress continues at the same rate, residential solar energy should reach break-even costs statewide in the next five years, even without upfront rebates.
- So far, over 100 elected officials across the state have officially endorsed Gov. Brown's pioneering vision to build 12 gigawatts of local clean energy — enough energy to cover a million solar roofs and then some — by 2020.
- From 2011 to 2012, jobs in the U.S. solar sector grew nearly 6 times faster than the rest of the economy, with one-fourth of solar jobs here in California.

Quote from different article than link:
Here is a point-by-point list of the penalties:
The Saints are fined $500,000. In addition, because the violation involves a competitive rule, the Saints will forfeit their selections in the second round of the 2012 and 2013 NFL drafts.
Saints coach Sean Payton is suspended without pay for the 2012 NFL season, effective April 1.
Saints general manager Mickey Loomis is suspended without pay for the first eight regular-season games of the 2012 season.
Former Saints (and current St. Louis Rams) defensive coordinator Gregg Williams is suspended indefinitely from the NFL, effective immediately. Commissioner Goodell will review Williams' status at the conclusion of the 2012 season and consider whether to reinstate him, and, if so, on what terms. Commissioner Goodell said he will give close attention to the extent to which Williams cooperates with the NFL in any further proceedings.
Saints assistant coach Joe Vitt is suspended without pay for the first six regular-season games of the 2012 season.
The Saints and the individuals disciplined today are expected to participate in efforts led by the league office to develop programs that will instruct players and coaches at all levels of the game on the need for respect for the game and those who participate in it, on principles of fair play, safety and sportsmanship, and to ensure that bounties will not be part of football at any level.
The league also said the involvement of players in the bounty program remain under investigation and Goodell will address possible discipline at a later date.


text: 4 Surprisingly goodFentonGib | 26/05/2010 | See all FentonGib's reviews (10)I'd been contemplating getting a webcam for a while, and when I saw this I couldn't help it for the novelty factor alone.The Good: Surprisingly decent webcam, more than ample for IM and Skype use. Uses standard drivers so was up and running very quick. Looks nice with lit up nacelles.The Bad: Brings no software at all, unlike other webcams, so you can't take your own photo with it, add fancy effects or similar without 3rd part software. Can look perhaps a little TOO plasticky (but find if you're a geek like me or if it's for children). Though the foldable stalk is durable, it is "stuck on" your monitor by a sticky pad on the logo. This started becoming loose after 5 minutes and came off totally the first time I had to point the camera elsewhere. I now have it superglued on (that works for a while). The USB cable it brings is too short for the fact it's going to be put on a monitor, unless you put it on the side next to a usb port if your monitor has it. I have it placed near the middle of my 20" Dell widescreen, which has 2 USBs on the left and 2 more underneath - the USB doesn't reach and required a (not included) extension cable.Overall: despite some flaws, it does its job, and looks quite cool (for me and my geek friends' standards) and am happy I bought it.
