# About me
I have been a digital artist (graphic designer) since 1999 or about 12-13 years working at print shops, web development studios, sign shops, branding/advertising and even selling printing equipment. Most of my work has been with commercial design (laying out brochures, drawing directional maps and a little photo touch up).My primary hobby is game development. I've been writing board games for nearly 1/2 as long (7 or so years). While I've yet to release a fully functional project, I had modded several other existing games utilizing my design experience.
More recently, I have taken it upon myself to venture out and try other art styles. Commercial art doesn't involve "drawing" as much as it is layouts. Sounds silly, but after 12-13 years of experience, I still don't know how to "draw" for say and I really want to learn.
=====================================
As for my personal life: I'm married with one daughter and a second one on the way. I run my own company (Imagination Creative Inc.) which is currently undergoing some brand changes. We have 2 rabbits: One is a Netherland Dwarf and getting very old, named "Jetsem" and our other is "Rube," a Flemish Giant. Seeing them side by side can be very comical.
I'm a craftsy/artsy kinda guy in general. I play music (several instruments from recorder, to guitar, to piano), I enjoy cooking and coming up with new dish ideas, I can sew and crochet... but not knit. I play, create and get involved in just about any way I can with gaming.
I'm not much of an active/outdoors guy. I do enjoy camping and occassionally going for hikes in the mountains.
