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.

Work So Hard. Just Not Here.

Never burn your bridges. Period. An unbelievable opportunity from an unexpected source!

Back where it all started!

I started a new job right around the time I last posted here in September. Which was convenient considering who I was doing websites for wasn’t paying me any longer. To be fair though, the clients weren’t paying them, so it’s hard to pay me in return. Regardless, I’m now working for a small chain of bicycle retail stores here in the DC/VA/MD area called Revolution Cycles.

I worked for Revolution from 2000-2004. That’s when the design bug really infected me. Started doing signage, business cards, and even a logo. I’ve been designing ever since. Now coming back into the fold I actually have some idea of what design is. Which is good considering it’s my job! I’ve been hired officially as an Assistant Buyer & Marketing Manager. read the rest  »

Typography On Images

Photos pimped out with some typography. Pretty simple!

Since my digital life ain’t all WordPress, CSS + jQuery I figure that I should start posting some other types of articles. Especially considering how many sites out there are producing the same content. There’s only so many times you can read the same “amazing” numbered list of WordPress plugins.

So I like putting type on photographs. The photographs are good, but can’t they be better with type on them? Here are a few.

Creative Process Stages

Why art and design can kill you and how I barely survive. What do you do to avoid the death?

I’m in this weird period of my design. I have various stages of creativity that are distinctly noticeable. At first I’m floundering, looking for something to produce. I can’t see a direction, a movement, a style, whatever. The next is I catch hold of something. If I’m designing for shirts, or thinking of a line of paintings, I’m starting to formulate a plan.

Next I’m image humping. I’m researching past artists, designers, whoever to see what can be done, and what has been done. I’m collecting more now too. The web is massive. There is shit everywhere. My latest addiction is ffffound.com. The strings you can find yourself on are endless. I’ll end up with multiple windows with up to 30 tabs open. I’ll burn through 4 gig of memory with Safari alone.
