By request!

Doing another portrait. Trying to get the most out of less with the details on the face, and also moving away from the actuall photo and doing some freestyling (woho).

(the image is slightly scaled down, click it for the full sized one)

Hope you like it!

More playing in photoshop.

Doing another pen-thing in photoshop. I find dogs to offer a nice challenge here since they have so many things going on with the ears and the fur and, pretty much anything.

Anyways, doing the whole pen-on-picture thing. Basicly getting the big things down first, then working on the small details. I gave it a black border and I think that made the image "pop" a bit more.

Oh, I should really remake the category structure on this site btw... This does not seem to fit in a "webdesign" category. Even though the final product will be used on a website.

Oh! And I got another ORCBITE design coming this way, stay tuned.

Some ORCBITE designs.

Ok, so for those of you who haven't heard. I've been involved with a new clothing brand called ORCBITE. Im helping them with their new website and I've also been doing alot of different designs for t-shirts, shorts and other apparel that they will sell.

I you like what you see, head over to www.orcbite.com (not up yet, but by the time you read this, it might :D ) to check it out. Or, take a spin on their facebook page at this adress to see what they are up to, and maybe tag along in a contest or two!

More to come on this in the future.

Also, you can email directly to the orcbite-guys at info [at] orcbite.com if you want to give feedback, praise or something.

Working alot = not posting alot.

I've been really bussy with all sorts of work lately, working pretty much from I get up in the morning untill I go to bed.

There are several things in the cauldron at the moment. I'll try to get some demo's and links up as soon as I get stuff complete enough to actually post them.

A quick rundown of what's been taking my time:

- ORCBITE
Stuff can happen pretty fast, and this one wins takes the cake in the "happen fast" category. You might have noticed the big ugly orc-face to the right? (well, unless you are using Internet Explorer, apparently, IE are experiencing som troubles rendering this page as it should be. I'll sort that out asap)
Anyhow, that is a new clothing label that yours truly is involved with. I'm basicly doing the website and also designing the apparel. Will post some of the stuff on here once I get it cleared.

Fun Stuff!

Oh ye, and the fast bit. It basicly started with me getting a notification on facebook, followed by me sending a message asking about a website for the brand, and here I am. Clothing designer!

- Rockbaroque
A website for a furniture-designer. More on this later.

- Projekt tassavtryck (yeah, its in swedish)
Moving into final stages here, soon it will be all alive and kicking!

- Secret Project #1
Is secret!

- Secret Project #2
Is also secret!

Usefull PHP stuff: get_defined_vars(); and var_dump();

I usually find myself in situations where Im working with an unknown CMS, ecommerce-solution or some other web-based system I didnt code myself. And sometimes, I need to find a particular variable, object or array that I know exists somewhere in the code, but I dont know the name of.

Its usually some form of id or configuration value that is set using some include-file somewhere, likely something I'll have to spend hours searching for to find in the actual code.

A good tool then is the get_defined_vars(); function. What it does is to basicly print out all the variables PHP got stored in its memory and puts them into an array.

So if you just installed that new wordpress-plugin and want to modify it a bit, but dont really know what objects the plugin automaticly creates? get_defined_vars() and find out!

You can use either print_r(); or var_dump(); to print the variables out. Dont forget to view source to get the information spaced, since it will print it with \n instead of
and the webbrowser will not render any linebreaks.

So,

or



You can also add die(); to just kill the script after the variables are printed, if you are just looking for the names/values and dont actually want to execute the rest of the script. (everything above the die() will still be executed)
