business cards

i've wanted a business card now for sometime. i usually keep a couple handy to scribble notes on. so i figured i'd design one that's SUPER simple: just my e-mail addy, and enough space to write down a quick note, phone number, or whatever.



i wanted the back of the card to be catchy and unique too. this image is just the beginning. i want to print it out pretty large, either draw in shading and eyes with a sharpie OR paint some colors with a light watercolor. then scan it back in, and print them out. still a work in progress, but so far so good


everything was drawn & designed in AutoCAD by me

project840: an explination

"project eight forty"

"project"

i want this blog to be about more about my DIY projects, and very little about my personal life outside my DIY hobby (and explinations about my favorite numbers, ahem).

also open and happy to post guest projects when they pop up here and there.

"8"

real simple, it's my 2nd favorite number since i was about 10 years old. we were on family vacation in ocean city maryland. me and my two older brothers (by 7 & 10 years) were racing go carts. i started to act a fool and bang them around the track. caused a wreck or two. won the race while driving car #8. on the last lap while heading into the parking/stopping area, over the loud speaker in the whole fun park "if you were just racing in so-in-so race, and you were #8, DO NOT buy a ticket for anymore rides for the rest of the night". as i pulled in, a guy stopped my cart with his foot and said "you know you're #8, right?" my parents were doubled over laughing at that point.

"40"

favorite number since high school varsity hockey. when i first got into ice hockey sophomore year, i was a heavier kid, so i wanted a big jersey. i picked a #39 goalie jersey and wore it for a season on JV. when i got bumped up to varsity hockey, the #39 wasn't available so i just moved up to #40. been wearing it ever since...
