A fun little image I did to celebrate all the fun my wife and I have had playing Destiny together. She is a real bad@$$ in that game!

Social media can be fickle. Often times it is wrought with shallow political slander, blasted opinions, cat videos, ‘clever memes’, and lifestyle selfies. This April I delved in a different way to communicate through the post proliferator. Continue Reading
Intimate insight cannot be pried from a person, it can only be shared. – Joshua B. Keyes
Recently I saw a bit of news popup while traversing through social networking sites. It was RDJ walking out of an interview he was doing to promote the upcoming Age of Ultron film.

December of last year I had an encounter with a Starcraft 2 community stream on Twtich.tv that I really enjoyed. Their obvious passion and dedication purely to the community of gamers was inspiring. I felt this could be a nice avenue that would allow me to stretch a little and focus on quick creative execution of some small projects. I contacted BaseTradeTV and offered some graphics support for the channel, they accepted.

About a year ago I had the pleasure of working with Greg ‘IrdA’ Fields on his solo brand logo. He was one of the most responsive and engaging clients I’ve had the pleasure of working with.
