This week’s been exceptionally busy (sorry for the lack of posts here); I’ve got a great excuse though – two of them actually.
First, I officially released the Iconic theme at ThemeForest. This was a big experiment for me as I haven’t actually released a fully coded site for purchase before. The first release was well received, and I promptly released an updated version with minor bug fixes and stability improvements. Right now it’s the featured item for the week! Not bad eh?
Excuse for not blogging #2: I officially released the Eminent Theme at Theme Forest. I had been working on this one simultaneously with the help of Philo Hermans in the Netherlands. He did an awesome job coding the major front-end work & setting up the initial jQuery functions while I finished it up with some browser testing, reskinning it for the 4 other colors, and adding some jQuery magic (which turns out to be remarkably easy to use). Overall it’s been an awesome experience, but more time consuming than i’d anticipated.
I’m actually pretty stoked on both of these designs. I designed them originally about 2 or 3 months ago, decided to offer the PSD templates on TF less than a month ago, and then finally decided it was worth forking out the time & cash to have them coded. So far so good though – it’s actually driven a lot of freelance inquiries (one of which I’m already working on), as well as a great deal of positive feedback. It makes me pretty stoked to be a designer and part of such an active community. Cheers!
So this is what you've been up to. They look awesome dude. I'm off to vote for you now.

Love iconic. I just wish it was a wordpress theme. Wonder how hard it would be to code it for wordpress? Or maybe a concrete/wordpress blend?

Wow is all that I can say too! So many great templates in the final round of that contest, I was pretty sure I'd get knocked off the totem – but yeah, it's quite exciting!
