Artboredom is the
portfolio + propaganda home of Chris Huller

This site is the dictionary definition of the word sandbox. Script conflicts, FAILS, and questionable behavior all leave a pleasant aroma. On good days you can see examples of previous web + graphic design projects.

More about me if you have the time!

Gettin' My CMYK On!

When you're staring at lines of code for days on end you need visual stimulus to keep your creative brain working at peak efficiency. Here are a few posters I've created for myself for others to see. I eventually may get some of these printed to offer them for sale.

Big Broken Hyphens

Extra-tasty Helvetica shirts available from the HOTKUNST webstore.

If you don't like Helvetica, there's a hyphen! And it's in the wrong place! Bad punctuation is so hot right now.

Swiss Font Porn

Trendhumping on multiple levels but when put together makes a fine shirt. Or at least one I want to wear.

The Webodega is open late to relieve you of your monetary denominations.

Dude. What's going on with your headers?

Artboredom is a reflection of my multi-faceted visualocity so I feel REALLY constricted whittling that down to just one, single representative image.

So I didn't. Give 'em a refresh and find out.

Learning to Tumblr.

As if I didn’t have enough things to do and not enough time to do any of them, I decided it would be a good idea to try out Tumblr. Tumblr is a publishing platform for tumblelogs. Tumblelogs are usually a conglomeration of everything that normally doesn’t make it into a normal blog. […]

As if I didn’t have enough things to do and not enough time to do any of them, I decided it would be a good idea to try out Tumblr. Tumblr is a publishing platform for tumblelogs. Tumblelogs are usually a conglomeration of everything that normally doesn’t make it into a normal blog. When I’m writing for my regular blog I tend to overthink everything feeling the need to make things perfect. That also goes for the subject matter. If it doesn’t feel important to post about then it never sees the light of day. That’s where Tumblr comes in. If I see something that I want to write about, perhaps something that doesn’t have any categorization whatsoever, then it has a home in a tumblelog.

I’m not sure where all this desire to share has come from. I’m an only child and I don’t like sharing anything. I guess we all have our reasons. Now start reading my Tumblr!

Why is it so hard to decide on a site design?

Actually, let me reword that. Why is it so hard to decide on your own site design? When I think about the amount of work that went into the last one, and the inevitability of another arduous code tasking for the new one I shudder.

Actually, let me reword that. Why is it so hard to decide on your own site design? When I think about the amount of work that went into the last one, and the inevitability of another arduous code tasking for the new one I shudder.

I know I should keep it fresher than I have been regardless of all my additions and updates. I see some designers out there that can’t go half a year with out having some kind of overhaul. I spend nearly all my free time on the computer, and there’s no way that I’d have time for that.

But here I am, contemplating what I want my CMS to do, and why. More importantly-how it will look. Still pretty sure that I’m going to use Wordpress for this one. I’ve been taking another look at Joomla, but I still like the WP community better.

Even if I knew what I was going to use for my back end, I still don’t know how I want my front end to look like. Things that I liked not more than a couple of months ago aren’t tasting the same as before and I’m stumped. I’m guessing this is just a little design slump, but I’d better figure this out sooner than later!
