    I was cleaning up my compy & migrating stuff to Dropbox when I came across this. It's over 6 years old, and was part of a flash site I cooked up really early on.

    I thought it'd be fun to invite you all to rebound this with the oldest piece of design you can find on your computers... GO!

    This was a blogging experiment I had back in the day... trying to turn $14 into $1000. A total failure in that respect, but it did get me hooked on conjuring up web projects.

    This was one of my first live websites back in 2000. Jeez 10 years ago!!! I did the whole thing, Photoshop Flash and HTML. I have no idea why, but it is still live. You can go view it in all it's table glory.

    My god Trent, what have you done to me! How embarrassing

    I went through a collage phase in college that might suggest I was on something... Thanks for this awesome idea of digging up old crap!

    I was still quite a web design noob back in high school. This is a "design" of my personal site. I didn't know that it wasn't good practice to use a splash page AND set the window to a specific size. Also, is it too pink? LOL

    I think this is about 5-6 years old. I used to do these realistic collages all the time while I was in college studying...finance =\. LOL.

    Oh, and here's the artwork I started my business with in 2005. I couldn't think of a company name, so I went with the "Howard Roark, Architect" approach.

    One of my very first web sites. Thought using a pay phone on my contact page would be ironic. About as good of an idea as calling myself In Front Designs.

    The first, oldest thing I could find on my computer was for my wedding. Couldn't find the .psd or .pages (yup, mostly made in iWork) . . . so a photo will have to do . . .

    I did this my junior year of high school in 1996. It was done using prisma colored pencils on (I think) bristol board.

    I have no idea where the original is. This is a a scan of the original slide my art teacher made for my portfolio.

    This was a joint project from my last year of technical illustration at college, 1990. (I did the engine and fuselage, my friend did the wings and tail). Drawn in pencil using elipse guides and a perspective grid. Then traced in ink with good old rotring pens on clear film. Wonder if anyone is still doing that now, it seems like a lifetime ago?

    This was my first comic ever published (for the school newspaper). The OJ Simpson portrait should give you a pretty good idea of when this gem was drawn.

    This will be my last contribution to the old skool design thread started by Trent. This piece was inked, scanned and colored in 1997.

    This dude was a time cop just strolling down the street (note the swank insignia on his shoulder) - I never did finish the building for some reason.

    I later transferred it to clay and meticulously carved this scene into the slab (took me about 2.5 weeks), fired it up and now it sits in the basement at my inlaws. It weights about 8-10 pounds.

    I was a little inspired by 2advanced studios back in 2003. Why I thought this treatment would be appropriate for their clutches I have no idea.

    Wow, to participate on this I will need to look on my WINDOWS computer... ya, I mean I have to go the whole way back before I was a convert to the Cult of Mac :)

    Here's what I dug up: an illustration I inked around the age of 15 of 2D from Gorillaz. There's a little Jamie Hewlett in just about everything I made as a teenager. (Except the websites. Those were mostly Cameron, haha.)

    This is what I was working on in 1999: a full-Flash, totally original, cutting edge, cinematic EXPERIENCE of a website for this visionary web design agency I worked for... that no longer exists. Check the circuitry, son. THE MATRIX HAS YOU.

    And yes, the UI was so avant-garde and daringly experimental that it needed instructions so all you morons could "use" it. You're welcome.
