Steve Mason
You may not know Steve. But you know Steve’s work. You may think that other people started trends, but I’ll bet you Steve did it first. There are so many things that I’ve seen people geek over in the last few years that I saw Steve doing years prior. The guy is nuts. NUTS.

You know, I’ve only met Steve a couple of times, back during his tenure at BionicArts alongside my buddy Erin Staffel, who can be found at either of these great domains: CtrlSubstance or Die Skeleton …neither of which, of course, has a website there. I wish he’d show you how great he is, too.

In any case, the point here is…well, I’ve only met the guy a couple of times, but every time I look at Steve’s Portfolio, somehow I walk away feeling inferior. As Erin so eloquently put it today, “makes you want to pack it up and play video games.” Speaking of video games, check out Steve’s insanely sweet Soccer Pong game at the bottom of his portfolio.

My next domain is fuckpeoplewithbrainsdesignskillsandcodingknowhow.com. I really do think that Steve is one of the most talented cats around. So impressed, as always. Kudos Mr. Mason.
