I've worked with this client since I was with another company in 1998, and I absolutely love this service his company provides: They recoat non-stick cookware, and turn worn-out fry pans into better-than-new, bionic cookware. We created the FryPan Man site in 2002 to highlight their recoating service. He wanted the site to be simple, clean, and informative, but he also wanted a fun symbol that people would remember, and asked us to create "the FryPan Man". I wish I could take credit for this egg-surfing, hipster frying pan, but I can't draw that well, and we hired an artist, who no doubt has since gone on to even greater accomplishments.

Their fry pan recoating service is fairly unique, but environmentally friendly (making them right at home in green Oregon), convenient (customers can send their fry pans in for recoating via UPS), affordable, and returns the pans to their owners in quite literally better-than-new condition, with a thicker layer of nonstick coating than they have when they come off the store shelves.

FryPan Man is operated as a part of Continental Coating Corporation in Tualatin, Oregon. The company applies and engineers a wide variety of advanced liquid and powder coatings for application in a range of automotive, home and garden, industrial, food processing, high-tech, and electronics products. Since 1981, they have been an industry leader in developing, engineering, and applying Fluoropolymer, Thermoplastic, and Thermosetting coatings. I was co-designer on their original Web site, which we developed at the aforementioned other company in 1998.
