FAST Service Ad Sep 04, 2008

I was leafing through my old Newegg notebook looking for little things I doodled during meetings.  (Those are some of my favorite drawings)  I came across this:

Fast Service

Fast Service, Andy's first business, was just starting out, and I was trying to come up with some ideas for fliers.  It started with fixing mailboxes for Irvine suburbanites, hence the pic. I just think it's funny how it's so straightforward.  Fast Service is on permanent hiatus right now, but the moment it's ready to get back in the game, I'll be ready with a handful of gems like this.

Bombshell Part 1 Sep 03, 2008

One of my goals for this site was to just throw up stuff I've done... warts and all.  Forget perfection. I just want to get better as time goes on.

Bombshell

So here is what I sketched out tonight.  A little pencil, a little ink, Photoshop and Painter.

Who I am

I'm Derek Chin and I'm very happy to be here. Life is a journey and an adventure, and I tend to be the "Big Picture" guy. (I ask silly questions like: "How does this help me and society in the long run?") I have lofty ideals and goals, and I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make it happen. This is a personal blog, so please excuse the tangents I go on, or the type of language I use once in a fucking while. I enjoy making music, doodling, and movie-hopping. Yeah I do.

What I do

XHTML/CSS/PHP/JS/MySQL/Ruby(on Rails) is the name of the game. I've had a great experience at very different companies and environments.
