9 Months, to be exact (to the date!). Life definitely has been great. My daughter is beautiful (no, she really is) and my business is doing modestly well. So hopefully I can start keeping up better with this journal o' mine.

Right now, the hardest part of life is keeping momentum with my artwork and business. The child has definitely slowed things down, which is to be expected and by no means unwelcomed. Hopefully she will learn to draw and help her old man in his endeavors. :]

In case no one knows I am located in the DFW area. I'm not sure if I have that labeled or not, but such I am. There is a community of visual artists that get together and talk about the latest in design and what not, which would be very fun to go to. My buddy Oliver, who I just call "O", has shown interest in this society as well and we are waiting for the next meeting. He's a great photographer and his website is [link] Really good stuff.

He and I also try to keep up with the latest comic trends (which would be why I have a deviant art account). I feel that comics are one of the purest forms of design and story telling we have left in society. If you can tell stories with pictures effectively, you pretty much can easily incorporate that into graphic design with ease.

If I could, I would be drawing comics, but unfortunately living in Texas, there really aren't many opportunities for this, so I fall back on starting a graphic design business (which also allows for illustrations, of course!). Anyway, if anyone is wanting any art, design or otherwise, let me know, I gots the hook up. Otherwise, I hope you enjoy the stuff I post. >8[ ]
