Our Sideline Stuff (Just for Fun)
Even as web designers or doing graphics there are times when you feel the urgent need to do something other than sit at the computer and work. We all have that urge to also be creative but many simply choose to ignore or or even worse talk themselves into believing they cant be creative. Art is, of course, one of the most common creative outlets for many people. Drawing a picture, painting on a canvas, or writing a short story are obviously creative – and there’s nothing wrong with these activities if that’s what gives you satisfaction. For web and graphic designers this at times feel too close to work. No matter what they do they want that creative outlet But also the challenge to be ultimately creative in new ways. To challenge ourself.
Sometimes that creativity needs a more physical outlet in the form of exercise or sports. There’s no reason you can’t get creative with your workout routine. The idea is to challenge yourself. This page is dedicated to challenge to find that outlet and/or escape. Shown below is just a sample of those other outlets that our designers have done in the past and the classic example of how sometimes you just need to escape the routine of the day-to-day.
Tattoo Design
Tattoos are mainly viewed as a type of self expression, many of these works contain a deep emotional tie for the recipient. Yes, they are a permanent form of self-expression, but couldn’t the same be said for poetry, writing, art and music?
Paracording
What began as a hobby to create items for the BMDS owners grandchildren soon became another creative outlet for our designer. and now features custom made paracord bracelets and other items in various style and colors. A lot of folks nowadays are wearing some kind of parachute cord bracelet for safety in emergency situations, awareness, style and just plain fun.
Nail Art
Nail art is a creative way to paint, decorate, enhance, and embellish the nails. The exact origin of nail treatments is unclear, since it appears to have originated in different parts of the world around the same time. Nail art is considered a fashion activity and commonly viewed as self-expression. There are no limitations to it; nail art could be anything from simple French manicure to 3D stickers and more.
Air Brush
An airbrush is a small, air-operated tool that sprays various media, most often paint but also ink and dye, by a process of nebulization. Since the inception of airbrush technology, commercial artists and illustrators have created highly rendered images and a high level of realism.
Often used in combination with cut stencils or items held freehand to block in controlled manner the flow of paint onto the paper (or digital alternatives) with fantasy and science fiction artists. Airbrush images can be found today in advertising, publishing (e.g., book covers).
