I have a dog, A boxer, named Dempsey. He loves the dog park, but, it’s frightening on what comes out of him sometimes. It’s gross, but, what are you going to do?

I couldn’t help it: enjoy
I’ve been building some monthly comic strips for a client, AppCentral (www.appcentral.com), for their email campaigns. Here’s one of them, it’s a fun project to work on. Enjoy, and share!
A bit about AppCentral:

We provide an enterprise app storefront and management console to distribute, secure and manage apps. AppCentral delivers the scalability and control enterprises need and supports multiple platforms including Apple iOS, Android, and RIM tablets and smartphones.
This is the sound of my own horn tooting *toot*
So, check out the new iPhone project “SF Heroes”. I worked the UI & Graphic Design for this project created by Cosmicube and for the city of San Francisco’s Department of Emergency Management.
Riffing on social gaming mobile applications such as FarmVille and FourSquare, San Francisco wants to reward you for disaster preparation – not with money, but with digital satisfaction.
Employing a motivational method known to tech industry aficionados as “gamification,” The City’s Department of Emergency Management said a new app called SF Heroes will be available for the iPhone on Friday, with an Android version coming in spring. The game allows users to connect with friends and complete tasks through games and in real life, earning them “badges” that rank them against online counterparts.
They wanted a fun comicbook look. It’s a little retro and a lot bold. This app available on iTunes now, and for Android later in the year. ~G

*Rant*
So, I’m fully down with a little bit of protest– #occupySF, which is happening a block away from my work. Every society needs a bit of revolution, but, I have to say, it just looks like haight st. & golden gate park on a Friday night, just moved in. I want to support, but I also support proper hygiene. I’m a little disappointed, in what I see, and maybe a little disappointed in myself, for not joining.
I’m angry, and honestly jealous, of the money that flows thru these buildings called the Financial District. It upsets me that I see someone wearing a $2,000 suit, and I struggle just to pay my bills. But, those are my issues.
Call me lazy, but I think I’ll just buy these protesters some supplies. (i.e. Water, deodorant & coffee). My head needs to wrap around how they could protest, better. I want to see a strong voice, instead of the patchouli-oiled-up dude tripping and twirling on the corner, feeding his parrot.
People are angry, and people are trying to do something about it. Currently there’s a block of tents along Market St., in front of the Federal bldg, right by the Bart Embarcadero Station entrance. The protest is slowly growing, and with the evident police presence, now downtown (in laced-up booted, pre-riot outfits. But, dogs, helmets & clubs within close reach.), this protest is probably going to stay around a bit.
There’s an unsettling energy in the area, maybe I should take up twirling in anger myself, and tweet about it.
Anyways, I have a blog and that’s my 2 cent opinion.
Who needs a scanner when you can take a photo from your phone. i.e. I’m very lazy…. Anyhoo, quick sketch time
