Competiiii-shooonnn

One of my favorite casual gaming sites JayIsGames.com is holding two competitions. My game design-prowess is still in it's infantile stage (okay, it's nonexistent at this point) so the 6th Casual Game Design Competition is way out of my league. I do enjoy playing/testing the submissions, though, so I will be sure to pass on the link when it is available. What has really perked my interest is the Casual Gameplay Art Design Competition. If you have a streak for graphic design, you can send in a logo, a banner and a "theme" image to potentially be used on their website during the competition. You can even win $300, no small beans! Good luck to those who enter! Now back to Illustrator for me...

Flash-y photography

I can't really say if this artist is using a flash camera, but his Flash website is a work of art in itself. Timothy Hogan is a New York photographer who deserves praise for his functional portfolio as well as his gorgeous pics. The women under the BEAUTY title are indeed beautiful but the STILL shots are very interesting. While the site is a teensy bit slow to load for me (probably not an issue for faster connections), the fade-in thumbnails are elegant and do not distract. Super simple navigation! Take a clicking stroll through Timothy Hogan Photography.
