Day 14

John T. O'Brien

Creative Director, Skinit

Kenamar Drive, Miramar

 
John cleaned up his desk yesterday, so it's much nicer looking now, and he's got a Cintique tablet out too. It's also easy to tell he's a Charger's fan. Here he's working on some skinners (photo-realistic views of skins on devices--you can see some in the left third of the photo) and checking his email. And he's always busy with contacting others and such, so he's always got his phone.
