Gerren Design

Hey, welcome to

Gerren Design

. This is the personal website of yours truly,

Gerren Rabideau

. Im an

Illustrator

,

Coder

, and all around

uber-geek

. This is my little corner of the internet; I use it to showcase my

illustration artwork

and my

web design

portfolio. By day I work full time as a

web designer

making the internet look better one page at a time, but by night I like to

paint

.

What do I paint you ask?
Mostly,

watercolor fantasy and sci-fi illustrations

, but I also dabble in editorial and digital work as well. Plus, I also keep a blog of whatever else I decide to write about;

comic books, traveling, color theory, how much IE sucks

, etc...

An unfortunate event.

Today I was informed that as of February I'll no longer have a job. Apparently my entire department is getting laid off and all of the work we do is going to get out sourced. I'm pretty disappointed. It is not the end of the world, I'm sure I could find another job in four months; I'm just going to miss the people I've met at work.

It also means that I need to reevaluate my current priorities. The illustration projects I have been working on and planning to start soon need get put on the back burner for now. I'll have focus in on finishing up my website and getting my resumé up to date.

My to-do list:

  1. build a flash based splash page
  2. remove my front page PHP redirect
  3. update my web design portfolio
  4. remove a bunch of my older illustrations from the site
  5. double check the HTML and CSS mark up
  6. post up a resume with printable CSS style
  7. build new "contact" and "about" pages

My plan to take a break from being a workaholic for year is totally kaput. At least it was fun while it lasted.
