Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn

Posted by: Don Lehman on Sunday, February 19 2006

Remember that guy, Dave Werner, who we linked not to long ago? Dave was that guy who had a video of himself rapping over a Kanye West beat to announce his online portfolio was going to be up soon.

Well, it's up.

I easily spent half of my Sunday on it. I can't recall ever being so engrossed in someone's work before and this is most likely because Dave puts his heart out there for all to see. Next to each project is a video of him presenting and its so effective I feel like I know him. The dude loves design and life and we love him back for it. Bleeding with passion, well thought out, intricate... I could keep going. Kudos to you Dave.

(Thanks Craig for the link.)

Thank you to core77 for the continued feedback and support, I appreciate it.

After also spending the later part of my Sunday previewing the great work of Dave's portfolio w/ surround sound. I was moved by all of the personal stories and well stated narration's of the projects. We will be looking forward to seeing what is next. If you have not taken the time to have a look at Dave's site, what are you waiting for?

amazing website, cant wait to see some more work with such emotion behind it, i have to ask if how long all this takes him though (perseverance at its highest level or just plain amazing skill) but dave i also have to ask why cant you put such intensity into your comments.

all i have to say is that the site is amazing, the time and effort that must have been put into it is incredible, i have a feeling that dave will be getting alot of job offers in the coming weeks.

Dave is my hero.

I only get the upgrade to 8.0 flash page. I have 8.0 but can't see it. I even tried it in IE!

Anon- Close your browser and restart it. Should be good to flow.

Hey Dave: I wish your original video was still available somewhere on your site. I keep telling friends and coworkers about it, but neglected to save a copy when I could. Maybe you could save a little corner of your site to allow folks to re-live their initial experience with you?

impressive, very. and it was eerie to be the "freelancer" that modeled his coffee maker in alias! good to see a well fleshed out set of projects.

gaygaruda - The Kayne video IS still on his site. He built in a TON of easter eggs. You have to hunt and peck, but I'll toss you the rap for free: homepage, top edge, very small photo. When you hover your cursor over it, it will say Kanye, or something like that.
