Double Happy New Year 2023

I've been doing a lot of work on my Rabbit Speed clothing line and wanted to start this year off with a bang.   I've created two new designs to ring in the New Year of the western calendar as well as the Lunar Calendar that originated in China.   There was no way I would miss an change to design something for Year of the Rabbit!      "Ignition" and "Year of the Rabbit Speed" are available now on clothing for the entire family, prints, and more at:

Red Sketches

Work has been super busy lately but I've been tryin to get in an an hour or more of sketching every night.   These are all done with a pencil brush in Adobe Fresco on the iPad Pro.    I was inspired by  glamour photos of Hollywood actresses from the 1940s.


Indian Scout Cruising - short clip

I've been experimenting with my GoPro camera (attached to my helmet's chin mount) while I ride, as well as learning to use Adobe Premiere Pro.  Here's a short clip of me riding around San Francisco and Pacifica, California.
Music:  "Up to No Good" by me.   The most excellent Joey Ramirez on drums.

My New Motorcycle!

At the age of 47, I've just bought my first motorcycle.    I've wanted one since I was 16 - so it only took me 31 years to get it done!    My new "baby" is a 1133cc (69 cu in), 100HP liquid-cooled v-twin American-made cruiser with ABS (anti-lock brake system) and 6-speed-transmission.

Next year I will begin customizing and modifying the bike to truly make it mine.  Looking forward to posting as I make progress.


Happy 23rd Anniversary Me!

I haven't posted for six months - it's been a busy year!   So let's get caught up.   I spent over a year working for a start-up company and earlier this year jumped back into AAA game development.  I've been working for 2K Games as a Senior UI/UX Artist on the NBA 2K21.   It's been an extremely  busy summer but worth it.  NBA 2K21 will be available on PC, Xbox, PS4, and Switch on September 4th.   Next-gen console release dates are TBA.  Check out our game trailer!

This summer also marks the 23rd anniversary of my website, and the 24th anniversary of me making a living as an artist and designer.   You may have seen my first animated promo for my designs:

The Sword of Justice design is available on t-shirts, hoodies, stickers, and more at my Threadless shop.

and that's not all!   I'm selling face masks now as well. Check them out at:  https://mistersidd.threadless.com/accessories/face-mask/premium
