Why am I on the planet? Or, why am I on DA? Well I think they're pretty much one in the same, to grow and develop as a human and artist.
To take in as much love, knowledge and experience as I possibly can while filtering out the crap and returning the positive to the world, because it's useless if you don't give anything back, and I'm a giver. And, that is what I pretty much deem as the interpretation of the meaning of life.

Ever since joining DA, I"ve thought about doing this, I just never had the time. I still don't, but oh well, so it's mostly unfinished and I would like to credit DP Studios for the CSS, you're an awesome artist . I hope you don't mind that I've changed a few things. The header. Well the image is from sxc.hu and was the inspiration for doing the journal, the type is all me.


I had something else here before, but shortly after posting I felt that I didn't want to share that much with everyone. As a very private person, you'll get the ultra condensed version of what I had before.
A professional chef, single father of 2, I went back to school for a change of career to Graphic Design. I graduated 2 years ago and have been working for a newspaper since. I love design, typography, photography, drawing and painting.


Simplicity is the easiest path to design truth. In that, nothing can be to simple if the design does not speak about the client and is vague to the onlooker. To many times designers think (myself included) "it's too simple". If it's so simple then no translation will be required and will speak the truth.
Just as a sculptor chips away all the useless marble revealing the beauty, a designer chips away the complexities revealing the design.


Has anyone heard of Magic Jack? It's like Skype but less expensive and such. Anyhow, I am thinking of purchasing this and I am looking for feedback before I go and buy. So let me know what you think.

OK, you've taken a self portrait, do you really need to credit the model? While you're at it, could you change the pose?
