THE EMPIRE STRIKES BARACK

Nicely done political satire. Probably not so funny if you're a Hillary supporter.

G4 Star Trek KIRK - The Ladies' Man

Wonderfully put together ad. Perfect images in the right spot. Kirk's smile at the end keeps me laughing and the whistle is just perfect.

Iron Man (Addictive TV remix)

Very cool video. Great editing.

Buying bugs


Buying bugs, originally uploaded by wes_rand.

Another drawing for our business section. This one was about buying insects through the mail.

NCAA brackets


NCAA brackets, originally uploaded by wes_rand.

An illustration for our sports section. This one was about how your personality is reflected in how you fill out the office bracket for the NCAA basketball playoffs.

Taming taxes


Taming taxes, originally uploaded by wes_rand.

An illustration for our business section. It went along with two stories. One about taming your paperwork for doing your taxes. The other was about dealing with the IRS.

Rentchlar Stadium


Rentchlar Stadium, originally uploaded by wes_rand.

I drew this as part of a graphic I worked up for our business section. The article it went with was about how stadium naming rights are expanding to parts of the stadium and not just the stadium itself.

How Hillary Can Still Win

A timely and fun video. I love the use of graphics.

The Job

A one joke video but a fun watch anyways.

How old is John McCain?

He looks very good for his age (like my parents.) But he'd be the oldest president we've ever had. Considering that the job ages even young men it's something to keep in mind.

Wonderful graphic graphic


I came across this photo of a graphic submitted for an award ... but didn't win for some reason. I love the humor the artist was allowed to use for this subject.
