My Bio

I joined dA in 2005, this is my second account. I have done graphics and web design, photography (digital and darkroom) and music arrangements. My current area of focus are digital painting, fantasy cartography, and fiction writing. I'm currently writing my debut novel, an court intrigue fantasy with swords and sorcery.

I hold a honours bachelor of arts in philosophy, specializing in ancient, early modern and modern analytic philosophy. I am currently practicing corporate and commercial law at a boutique law firm.

A very well thought out concept relating Toronto and deviantART. The brilliant shading and designing on the dA Fella is a must to be mentioned. What is more welcoming than to see a smiling Fella open embracing the city of Toronto? The skyline includes some very well known landmarks: a good use of symbolism. (However, I must say that the skyline is slightly over used, thus making it some what unoriginal, but it is understandable that it's not any one person's fault.)

Color coding the text to the flag of Canada is extremely clever, but it is important to recognize the official colors of the city as well as that of the country. The objective of the stamp is to represent the massive number of deviants in Toronto, even though the city is within Canada, Toronto itself should remain the focus, not Canada. This point is emphasized especially when the red does not stand out very much against the black (where as blue might).

The stripes in the background follows strictly the official colours of deviantART, which is good, but it does disrupt the viewer's attentions slightly for making the stamp a little crowded.

A very clever stamp; it could be seen that the artist put a lot of thought into its making. Great composition and idea, but could use a bit of tweaking here and there.
