The Official Website of C.J. Watson launched!

For the millions of you that follow the blog, and by millions I really mean all 4 of you... you may have seen in the past some of the work I have done for NBA player C.J. Watson and his Quiet Storm foundation. My design background is mainly in print design, but I have been doing more web work, not a lot of programming and coding but mostly design work for web sites, etc. So to expand my abilities with a lot of what I will call "guidance" from a good friend Jerry Piscitelli (the creator of PortOpong) I took on the job of creating C.J. Watsons official website. 


The original plan was that I would design the layout and graphics of the site and Jerry would do the programming while teaching me along the way... well he is a tough teacher, he got the outline of the site started, gave me some of the basics and then told me to go for it... It was a lot of learning along the way, a ton of emailing Jerry to ask for "guidance" and eventually it all came together. The site is now live and running, my first official site, and as with many sites, it is a work in progress and will be getting better and growing over time. So please check out the site at www.cjwatson32.com and let me know what you think!


Also, I really want to thank Jerry for having so much patience with me and helping me out along the way, be sure to check out the portopong at www.portopong.com


This is just the beginning of me expanding my portfolio to include more web work!

In Las Vegas with the Quiet Storm foundation

It has been a while since the last blog, yes I've been slacking with the updates but I will try to do better.


A few weeks ago I was invited out to Las Vegas for another Quiet Storm Foundation event, those of you who do not know about the foundation please click here to find out more, its a great organization run by C.J. Watson and his family. This event was their annual back to school extravaganza, there was a lot of great entertainment for the kids, C.J. signed autographs and met with some of his fans, the UNLV cheerleaders stopped by as well. It was a great day with a big turnout. 


This also happened to be my first trip to Vegas, I wasn't there for long but in the little time I was there the Watson family did their best to show me as much as they could. 


C.J. also did a quick interview for eastbay/solecollector which you can read here.


Here are a few photos from the day, including one of the first pics you will see of C.J. in a Bulls jersey since he was traded from the Warriors this summer. Be sure to watch out for C.J. this year, he is now with a great young team that will definitely utilize his talents this season, his official website will be coming soon, I will make sure to blog when it is up and running, until then you can follow C.J. on twitter here or become a fan on facebook here and definitely become a fan of the Quiet Storm foundation on facebook as well here.


C.J. has a few contests coming up as well so check out all his pages for more information.

Quiet Storm Hoops for Hope Tennessee event

Well it has been a while since the last blog post but there has been a lot going on so I will slowly but surely catch everyone up. So first we will start off with the Hoops for Hope Quiet Storm Foundation event in Tennessee with C.J. Watson. For those who don't know who C.J. is now you will soon enough, he is currently playing for the Golden State Warriors. Now the foundation was started by C.J. and his family who are all great people. If you are near any Quiet Storm events I definitely suggest you check it out! This event consisted of 2 basketball day camps for the kids, a performance by Dean "HB" Vitale and also the ToeTag Monologues, those who are unaware of the ToeTag Monologues I highly suggest you check them out, its a great show with a great message to it!

The day flew by and was a great time for everyone, I know we enjoyed ourselves and look forward to doing more work with the foundation. Above are a few pics from the day or C.J. with the kids and the performances.
