The most powerful, human created force on the planet? Graphic design! It guides our ability to reason, can solve any problem set before it, is always a gentleman and never betrays you in a time of need. Is graphic design, quite possibly, the best thing ever? Short answer, yes. Long answer, definitely yes.
Nicely organized and stacked to the right is a collection of my design work. Using 3-D illustration, computer manipulation, photography, hand-drawn pictures and a little bit of magic, I have compiled the best of my best.
Most importantly, graphic design is fun. Fun to do, fun to look at, and fun to do at a child's birthday party if you forgot to bring a gift.
