Free DIY vs Professional Web Design
If you're wondering whether or not you should pay for a professional website or go the route of a Free 'do-it-yourself' method then there's a few things to consider. In the video above I explore the pros and cons of each. But below I've also summarised why...
4 Basic Pages Every Website Needs
If you own or run a website, chances are these pages won’t be unknown to you. But it’s crazy just how many websites either don’t have or have completely misused these 4 pages. I explain above why they’re important and how they should be working for you. Home...
Does your business really need a website these days? (Video)
I often hear people telling me "with Facebook, you don't need a website these days." I couldn't disagree more, so here are my thoughts on the matter. Note: this is my first every Video blog! There's a few things I'm unhappy with but ultimately am excited to finally...
Shredder – Digital Art
When I was a kid I was very much alongside all of my grade 1 school buddies and fell in love with a little cartoon called Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It's actually kind of the seed behind my obsession with Martial Arts... before Bruce Lee entered my view anyway 😉 I...
“Selfie Alien” Art and Prints
I've always had a thing about drawing aliens, especially when I was 18. I drew Kung Fu Aliens, animated one (see here) and have even created a video showcasing how to change a photo of a person into an alien! But I haven't taken the time, until now, to draw and...
Don’t Worry, Santa has your Back – Christmas Cards
Most who know me know that I love doing Jiu Jitsu. It's not the first time I've mentioned it on this website! But what about Christmas cards for Jiu Jitsu players. I had a look and there aren't many out there, so I came up with this one: It's a good bit of fun and I...
Bruce Lee Portrait (Sketch)
Doing Portraits isn't something I do a lot. But it's always a fun process - providing you don't screw it up at some point! Bruce Lee being one of my heroes, I always intended on doing a portrait of him in lead pencil, so actually I sat down not long and actually did...
WadeMcmaster.com Portfolio & Design (Now Live!)
Note: This blog refers to the original design for this website, and has since been redesigned to what you see now! So I've been chipping away at this site for a few weeks, designing, adding artwork and getting it ready for launch. Now the day is here! Now it's...
“I’m a Huge Metal Fan” Shirts & products
Metallica, Trivium and Slipknot - probably my top 3 favorite bands of all time. I have a network of friends and family who all mosh out to some metal on a regular basis. It's music that helps get out aggression, has a message and helped me get through a lot of shit...
‘I am the Great Cornholio!’ Artwork
Ok, seriously, don't judge me. I went on a full on Beavis & Butthead binge for a few weeks. It got to the point where even my own private laughter spurred on even more laughter in a ridiculous 'life imitating art' kind of way which most would think is kind of...
My portfolio
You’d like to see the quality of work I offer? I’ve been designing for over 20 years and have an extensive portfolio.
