What is this?  Some mayhem I am indebted to?  Some sense of responsibility that I hold onto with such serious integrity?  What a catastrophe.  I am essentially drunk, distraught... incorrigible.  So what that I am some sort of in love, some sort of responsible, some sort of respectable, some sort of hopeless fool?!

I love you.

Stay with me, alright?

2012

A new year and a fresh perspective.  2011 was a year of heartache and struggle for many people.  I am grateful for my friends, family and the resources available to me.  In particular my thoughts are with my dear friend Ariel, whose mother passed early in the morning, New Years day.

I have set out a number of goals for myself.  There is much to be said for the discipline of self- education.  The structure of the modern institution and the life long debt that goes with it is no longer a viable option for me.  Instead I turn to the internet, and rely on a personal drive to utilize the vast and current tutorials available for purchase (and sometimes for free) that will guide me into achieving the proper skills for freelance web design.  I will also be refining my knowledge of Adobe CS5 Graphic Design suite.  A new web site for my own work will be developed as I learn.  Additionally I plan to develop a line of affordable handmade products, cards and high quality prints of my art which will be available on Etsy in the spring.
