Hello to those who follow this here page, or anyone else that stumbles on it I suppose. You may have noticed that this here page has been rather dead as of late. This is due to several things: 1. I am no longer in college 2. I have an internship that keeps me busy 3. Much of my creative focus these days is on creating glitch art/databending pieces.

I've captured the process of making the vector from a sketch so far, but I haven't worked on it in Photoshop yet. Basically I'm trying to decide whether I should include all of what I do in PS, seeing as there is a lot of experimentation before I get to a final design. We'll see. Cheers all.
