Kudos to my wife

I've long been a fan of video and computer art. It's an area that I absolutely have no talent in. (I'm a fairly good amateur video editor, but I'm no artist.)

Enter my wife. (Oh grow up!)

"my wife" is the Xbox Live Gamertag of Adam Hilliker, who is, in my mind, a top-notch graphic artist. He is responsible for much of the sweet, minimalist look of Gamertag.com, including the design of the site's mascot and evil, world-dominating matriarch, Custard.

But where Adam excels, in my opinion, is in his video work. He is able to seamlessly blend video with kinetic graphic artwork. I love his use of massive amounts of text, monochromatics, and the highly technological feel that he infuses into his creations.

For a real treat, take a look at his "Broadcast Reel" -- a 3½ minute video resume of commercial projects Adam has done. It can be found at http://www.helfet.com/. Also on the site are a number of Macromedia Flash games that Adam created while learning about programming Flash.

Enjoy the site and if you appreciate his work, drop him an email. I'm sure he'll appreciate it.
