'Tis I, House! I'm a happy designer-type.

Had a grand ol’ time doing my first live Q&A session with Nick this morning. We’ll be doing these weekly on Tuesdays at 12PM EST (Carsonified channel) with a few different members of the Carsonified team cycling in, including Nick Pettit, Jim Hoskins, Ryan Carson, Mike Kus, and me!

In this live Q&A session from the Carsonified USA office in Orlando, Florida, Nick Pettit (@nickrp) and Allison House (@house) answer your questions about web design!

I didn’t do Moleskine Monday this week, so here’s a video of me ackin’ a fool instead.

Moleskine Monday was a series of blog posts I did detailing all the design-related work or learning I completed in a week. I’ve since discontinued the series, but this video is silly so it can hang out!

From my shot on Dribbble:

This is a video tutorial of my process for creating pixel portraits like this and this in Photoshop. I only recently started making these portraits so I’m no pro, but I hope those who asked for a tutorial will find this helpful all the same. I tried to make this super-simple so even non-Dribbblin’ beginners can follow along.

I’m glad I can finally post the finished product—it took a surprisingly long time to put this together! Thanks to all-around awesome guy Tyler for letting me borrow his avatar.
