-The Skater Guy of BreadCrumbINT.com

Posted at 11:37 PM by Brandon


Another oldie, the pasty-white, dopey looking BreadCrumbINT.com Skater Guy. To be honest, it's really unclear why he was added to the page in the first place, but he keeps popping up to this day. He started out as a random piece of artwork submitted to me by someone back in the early days of the site. After a short time in Photoshop, he was made to match the colors of the layout and quickly became the "mascot" of the site.

Another symbol of the site, the bio-hazard symbol, was added to his shirt later on when we got the original blue BreadCrumbINT.com hoodies made. He was a much bigger part of the site at one time. He was included on long-sleeve t-shirts, posters, etc. And was almost always used in the small link banners that were made for the site, like the one below:



He was also on a bunch of sweet stuff that I no longer have, including an awesome flash intro made by the RiftMaster and a big ASCII rendering of his head.

The BreadCrumbINT.com skater guy was created a long time ago when the site was just getting started, so I can't really say what my intentions or plans were for him at the time. We were all just basically looking for something that would be synonymous with the site, that we could use to promote it, I think. I still find ways to fit him in to small icons and stuff like that.
