Some fun at work

Some fun my girlfriend and I had with Jurassic Park

Made these with the help of My brother and girlfriend.

Take a look at my new red bubble page. Red bubble is a website where you can post your portfolio and people can view it, comment, and even buy prints. You get the profits from all sales. http://www.redbubble.com/people/nickchic

This is the path my mouse took on my screen during a day at work. This is only a couple hours of the day. The dots represent a pause, the longer the pause the bigger the dot

Been having fun with some tutorials for Illustrator. Here are some results and links

My name is Nicholas Chicirda, AKA Nick Chic. People have called me Nick Chic since I have been in grade school. My name is unique and both a blessing and a curse. When I tell people that my last name is Chicirda nine times out of ten I get the same dumb response: “Like Chiquita Banana?” (Although in more recent times it was often substituted with “Like Shakira?”) After a while I gave up telling people, “No its not at all like that, its pronounced CHICK EAR DUH!” In order to avoid the great banana annoyance I would tell people my name was Nick Chic. To that people would reply, “Oh, like a girl?” On top of that, you would not believe the amount of dirty words that rhyme with Nick and Chic; grade school children can be so mean. On the bright side my nickname is very memorable, and just plain cool. So when I was faced with the challenge of making my on portfolio and essentially branding myself, I went for my name for inspiration. In the end this is what I used for my site:

However, my first version included a picture navigation which included variations of the Chic. Each one corresponded with a page on my website:

I had such a great time doing making all the Chic variations that I decided to run with it. That’s where Pulp Chiction comes in. I will use this blog to showcase all my Chic drawings that I made and will continue to make. Hopefully you will enjoy looking at them as much as I do making them. My goal is to make at least a couple of posts a week, in an attempt to keep my creative juices flowing. I won’t limit myself entirely to Chics, I plan on posting my thoughts, some fun links, and other design work I may do.
