Rainbow Grunge Texture Piece

I made this just for fun, but thought someone might enjoy the high resolution texture.

rainbow-knights-of-raptureHere’s the cover photo

and here’s the full size 3500×3500 jpeg to download in all its glory (Opens in a new window).

And the full photoshop file with the original texture and all the colors in individual layers, download this ~180MB Photoshop file that’s rar’d up (it’s about 350MB uncompressed)

If the download link doesn’t work, I apologize. It’s my personal dropbox and it’s got a limit of daily traffic. Try again tomorrow!

    Dragon’s Breath

    We made a new piece! It’s called Dragon’s Breath. A special request from a dear friend of mine Samir Balwani made it to the top of our list. He requested a drink that would be ideal for shots, totally unique, and cool. Easy enough :)

      GeekGlassware LLC is official!

      Yay, I filed for an LLC. That makes me a CEO. Kind of cool I guess. I don’t feel any different, am I supposed to be getting a package in the mail that teaches me how to be a jerk, or will that just happen over time? ha ha, just kidding.

      Seriously, though: Geekglassware.com is also now live, and so is the Etsy page, facebook page, and twitter account. Also made the subreddit for a small nest of future planning that I’ve got in mind with the help from my best CEO-friend, Samir Balwani (he owns and runs SiteFox.com. I traded him tech support for advice and all that :)

      The homepage for geekglassware is just a landing page, takes you directly to my Etsy account (which I am both proud and sad to say is nearly sold out of inventory). More glasses coming soon!

        renderDragon Glass (For Akshay!)

        • Aperture: ƒ/4
        • Camera: NIKON D90
        • Taken: 15 April, 2012
        • Focal length: 50mm
        • ISO: 200
        • Shutter speed: 1/30s

        I decided to make some glasses for my brother. He co-owns and operates a relatively new game development company, renderDragon. I made this pair of glasses for him with some help. Also, my first experiment into depth and layering the sand blasting. I’m happy with how it came out :)

        Star Wars Last Supper Mosaic (New)

        I did it. For the countless e-mails I’ve received, for my love of big projects, for Star Wars, and for myself. I remade the star wars mosaic. Admittedly, I did not spend as much time creating it as I did the first time. Whether it’s because I’m better at it than I was, whether I was just lazier and didn’t take as much care, who knows. I have created a few print size downloads, one is 300 dpi , one is 600dpi, and one is 900 dpi. Continue reading for the download links and more screenshots.

            That is NOT his real contact info, for obvious reasons.
            The back is actually going to be a partial UV spot gloss, but here’s a composite example showcasing what sort of almost looks like:

              Merry Christmas Robin!

              We shared our gifts early, and now I can share mine to Robin with you early :)
              For her Christmas present I took a page out of my buddy’s book and made her a brand. Business cards, personal web-portfolio-resume-thing, customized laptop, and a very special Robin at robinkurachik dot com email address. Here’s the business cards:

                  Miercom Business Cards

                  It’s easier to ask forgiveness than permission, so I went ahead and redid the Miercom business card. The shaded ethernet logo is actually a UV spot map (i.e. partial gloss) which you’ll see in the actual photo. I overlaid it just to give a good conceptual image.
                  Here’s the back:

                  And for example:

                    Star Wars!!!

                    Gosh I love star wars.
                    In honor of SWTOR early launch tomorrow, I whipped this up. If you want to print out a copy to gift/hang or whatever as a lot of people seem to want, I made a full 300 dpi pdf

                    There’s a black border above and below, when printing I would trim it (Kinkos has great cutters for anyone to use, free of charge). Also, Kinkos will print a pretty decent quality heavy gloss (try to get 10pt) relatively cheap. If you want to print it bigger, let me know in the comments. If enough people are interested I’ll redo it from the vector backing for a 24×36″ poster size or something. I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING STAR WARS COPYRIGHT RELATED. I WILL NOT CHARGE ANYTHING FOR THIS. I am also not accepting donations for this piece. If you have lots of gratitude, please leave a comment and show me some love, or email me at avi at avinasharora dot com, or use my contact form, or whatever.
