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.

Launching Some Helvetica Shirts!

Not one, not two, but 8 font weights for the price of one! Comes with free color when you purchase the shirt. Yeah, it’s another Helvetica shirt…

I’ve had these Helvetica shirts on Spreadshirt for awhile now but never got around to completing a color selection.  So I completed one.  I also added some colors to the other designs I’m selling at the Webodega as well.

Swiss Font Porn

I’ve announced this with many different scenarios/metephors, but I think my favorite is what I put down on my Virb account.  It’s in the backend, so only my contacts see it.  Here it is now:

I’m providing a little bump for your font addictions. Have a taste of 100% Swiss perfection and wear it with pride. Let everyone know just how much of a problem you actually have. Nothing like big, plainly stated fonts to force people to look at you like you’re high. Luckily you are! High on the greatest Swiss import ever. That and the knife.

Damn I’m a wordsmith.  Anyway, Helweights all jammed together with some tight-assed kerning/tracking and some ampersands to truly show I’m humping some shark-jumping shirt fads.  At least I know what I’m doing and not hiding it.

If you like ‘em let me know.

Quickness: jQuery, MooTools, Woopra, and Much, Much More!

What I’m doing at any given time, and where for that matter. Social goodness. Also, why I need Just For Men after dealing with JavaScript libraries.

Socially Inept

Crunch-time on some projects is definitely wearing on a coder.  Been too tired to update my Brightkite location status even though I’m not going anywhere.  140 characters or less is a struggle to even sarcastically Twitter about my predicament.  Luckily I’m a cross-posting ass so it looks like I’m active on my Plurk, Pownce, Facebook, LinkedIn, as well as the two mentioned above when I actually do update my status.

Speaking of cross-posting, Ping.fm is officially open beta!  I use it to update my status on all the services I mentioned above.  It’s growing in features all the time.  Check them out!
