Greetings! I'm a graphic artist going on 10 years of experience, mainly in the newspaper industry; lately I've been branching out into web design too. I've dabbled here and there in everything from logo design to brochure layouts, plus some photography on the side.
I've lived in Birmingham, AL, since the middle of 2008, and I really like it here. It's got bits of a big city without having to deal with the traffic! A few of my favorite restaurants here are the J. Clyde (best beer and sweet potato chips), Surin (best Thai and sushi), T Bone's (best Philly cheese steak), and Al's Diner (best baked potatoes).
My free time recently has been devoted to the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) where I've been privileged to learn some really cool things from some really amazing people. Where else can you go taste delicious cuisine, weave wire, and watch people beat each other with sticks for a whole weekend?
Random list of stuff I like... science fiction, road trips, Texas hold'em, Calvin & Hobbes, psychological thrillers, larp, a really good wheat ale, movies you have to watch several times before you really get what's going on, antiques, barbecue, Ray Bradbury, figuring out how things work, figuring out what makes people tick, ethnic cuisine, logic puzzles, baking pastries
