ARTWORK: Asheville Building

Asheville Flatiron Building

I am a big fan of the Asheville Flatiron building. The buildings placement in downtown Asheville creates a strong presence.

I drew the Asheville Flatiron Building illustration for a retail website. I created the graphic in vector, making the images fully scalable.

PHOTOGRAPHY: Product Photography

Asheville Local Business Photography

For many years Ny Native Ireland was a popular business in downtown Asheville. Over many of those years I got to work on a wide range of projects for the Asheville Business.

Beginning with photographing many of the popular product lines. I went to the store and shoot the images on location. For special, or difficult items to capture, I would take those to my Asheville photo studio.

Here is a small collection of the Asheville store product photography.

Asheville Retail Website Design

Oh, the days of Flash were a fun time for website design. Sure, connection speed was certain. And, smartphones or tablets were a far off idea. What Flash did deliver to the internet user was motion.

Screen Captures of Web Site

As a Website Designer and Developer, working with Flash was fun!
The My Native Ireland website was a project of passion.

I do miss my Curved Scroll Bar - it was quite fancy (even for then). I wrote the ActionScript to create the scrollbar to find the design of this website. The paint brushes I created in Adobe Illustrator.

The entire site had a sense of soft movement - which captured the Asheville store so perfectly.
