I’ve worked on a lot of online projects and campaigns, and such commercial projects have probably been seen by a million, maybe more people.

However, my single most successful piece of work is this animated gif:

:buttrock:

I shit you not. I used adobe ImageReady, back in 2001, to make a “spur of the moment” smiley (or emoticon) for the now defunct were-here forums. Since then I’ve seen it adopted by a ton of forums, sites and blogs… Bastardized in different sizes, colors, with additions (hair, bracelets whatever)… Just do a couple image searches:

google/images “buttrock”
google/images “headbangk”

It’s always a pleasure to bump into it.

A non-tech friend of mine from Lebanon once contacted me over MSN, and his avatar was… buttrock, said he got it from his little cousin.

I’ve seen a website promote it printed on a t-shirt. (I’ll try to find the link).

Here’s a two more of my smileys, needless to say less popular than good ol’ buttrock:

:pirate: <- Yarrrrr… I’m surprised this one isn’t the popular one ;) :notworthy: <- this one has made the rounds

If you spot buttrock, lemme know :)

Enough about smileys.

…I will add more accomplishments as they sporadically surface into my corrupted cranium. Stay tuned.
