GhostBandit unveiled at iTunes Store!







I'm both an illustrator and an animator. My bread and butter is illustration and I've often been asked to do a wide variety of graphic design elements, from GUI design for videogames to logos for business cards. One of my most recent published designs was something i created for Six Dozen Studio, headed up by one of my great colleagues from undergrad Tom White. Tom has been a trusted "partner in crime" since being a neighbor in the dorms at the University of Georgia. He has hired me to do logo design for programs he's engineered from way back in the day. I was fortunate enough to assist in his software presentation at Siggraph in LA '95. Tom is a computer genius to say the least and I am honored he hired me to collaborate and create a character/logo for his new iPhone app called "GhostBandit".
This handy little gadget will shred or scramble any photo you want with the flick of the finger on your iPhone screen. You can easily de-shred as well. But more practical, you can apply a reversible shred on any photo that can be unlocked with an embedded password. (Note to all you sexters out there who've accidently sent a pic to the wrong recipient...embarrassing!) I thought it might be interesting for you to see my thought process in the design of the little guy. Above are some of the plates I submitted to Tom & Six Dozen Studio for their approval. To buy this app follow the link to the iTunes store here, or to the GhostBandit website here.
