Some rants, some news, some fun…
I’ve re-branded!
For years now I have been working as Jacques of All trades LLC. I initially chose to do that because I believed I needed anonymity. I felt like my work and life should be separate and that customers trusted an established business over a regular guy who loves design. “I have one of those personalities that likes to talk to...
Free Designs for Good Folk!
I strongly believe in using my talents to help other people. This economy is rough! Many people/organizations have causes that can better this world but fail to launch because they can not afford a good designer. Image is everything in this new world of direct mailing and iPad screens. Graphic designers (especially freelance ones…like me)...
Very Near Mint! (Quick Review)
I received Justin Peterson’s Very Near Mint Volume 1 in the mail and immediately my geeky heart was in love. The cover graced with characters punching through the page (tell me if you get the reference) drew me in. The story starts on a Wednesday with a UPX truck carrying precious cargo; COMIC BOOKS! The...
A mighty nice T-shirt!

A pretty e-mail goes a very long way…

Those I did get feedback from told me I was competing with hundreds (and I MEAN hundreds) of other applicants. This...
Samsung Galaxy Tab Feel Free Video Contest
I usually never win anything. But I decided to enter a YouTube contest for the Samsung Galaxy Tab and to my surprise I won one! It was a simple video edit and me speaking, but I’m honored to have been chosen as a WINNER!
I miss my cubicle.
I know what some of you are thinking “He finaly gave in. He’s packing up his things and returning to his regular 9-5pm routine.” If you are thinking that, you’re wrong. I actualy mean I miss seperating work from life at times. Working from home is a wonderful thing. You have the ability to dress...
