BoldPixel Studio is the online outlet for the work of Steven Raikow, a Graphic Designer and Web Developer in the San Francisco Bay Area. My digital design portfolio is now available here. It includes many examples of my design and illustration work. If you have questions or would like to discuss a project, feel free to contact me.

I've launched a new web comic called NODE. It is a graphic novel based on a science fiction story that I've been tossing around for years. I will be posting a new page every Monday until the project is complete. At some point during the course of the project, I may release a printed edition as well.

I've recently added a new section to the sire called isoBits. This is a collection of public domain graphics that I am making available online. These graphics are isometric illustrations of various objects that can be easily combined to make stunning charts and diagrams. I've just started to add material to the site, but I will be adding new items every few days. Initially I will concentrate on images appropriate for network diagrams, but will soon branch out into more varied subjects. All of the graphics are available in low and medium resolutions, perfect for PowerPoint presentations, websites or small documents. They are transparent PNGs, meaning that they can be dropped on top of any background color seamlessly. isoBits is a resource for the designer or non-designer alike. High resolutions copies may be available upon request.

I've submitted an entry to the T-shirt design contest for the 2006 Bay to Breakers race in San Francisco (shown at right). The Bay to Breakers is perhaps the largest footrace in north America, so if this get chosen it would be a tremendous honor. Five finalist will be selected over the next month or so. The public will have the opportunity to vote on the winner thereafter. The race is in May and I will be participating. Hopefully I'll get to wear this T-Shirt while I do it!
