You guys are awesome!
Wow!
It's taken about a year, but, I've hit 2000 pageviews today!
I think that's a pretty decent accomplishment, and I thank everyone who's taken the time to view my little gallery.
I look back over the last year, and it's hard not to see how much I've learned and grown as an artist.
Thanks again to all of you who have commented and faved my work, and I look forward to another great year at DA!

I'm back
It's been years since I checked in here.
Let's catch up a bit, shall we?
I turned 40 a few days ago. It's not as bad as people warned me it would be.I recently got married to a girl I had been dating since I started on DA. :)I moved to Connecticut and back to California.I changed jobs twice.I rebranded a 125 year old non-profit.So many smaller changes happened that I can't list them all here. Suffice to say, my focus, attitude and skills have changed pretty dramatically over the years. I'm hoping to start posting some of my newer work here soon. I'm also planning on using DaPortfolio to showcase my work professionally.

The Healing Process
Ok, everyone...
I've been a depressed slacker.
I know that I said I'd have a lot more time to create and post artwork, and then, suddenly... nothing! I haven't done anything on here for months.
What's been going on during my time away from DA?
For my part, I've been limping through my days...
My leg is about 75% of what it used to be. This means I walk with a cane, which is a hell of a lot better than not walking at all. And, at least I don't have to use a walker anymore. I'm proud of myself for being able to climb stairs and take walks around the grocery store.
Of course, this totally sedentary lifestyle hasn't done anything for m
Artist breaks knee... world keeps turning
On October 19th, at approximately 11:00pm, I broke my left knee. I was at a Flogging Molly show at the historic Fillmore auditorium in San Francisco, and had just taken a few turns around the pit, when I saw a little kid fall down in front of me. I bent to help him get up before he could trampled by the crowd, when, suddenly, some guy flew out of the crowd and landed on my knee. I heard a crunch, felt immediate searing pain, and was unable to stand on or move my left leg.
I had to army crawl across the crowded concert floor, calling for a medic, my arms and hands getting stepped on the whole way. I managed to make it about halfway across
A few thoughts...
I always meant to be an illustrator.
I love drawing... I mean really drawing. Pulling ideas and images out of my head to communicate with the world. It's really the only time I ever feel like I'm doing what I was meant for.
Maybe I'm not the best illustrator in the world. That's ok with me. As long as I keep drawing, I improve with every piece. I become aware of my strengths and weaknesses. I progress. Drawing makes me feel like I have some purpose.
But, somehow, I ended up a graphic designer.
Most of the time I'm not drawing... I'm simply creating and arranging design elements on a page. I'm manipulating the viewer's eye by use o
