Art is the mind's way of getting rid of all the beautiful, scary thoughts that plague it's surface

About Me

Hi people!

You've reached my personal site! This is where I showcase all of my graphics work, which is one of my passions. I started working with photoshop in January of 2006, first of all, designing sigs and avatars for forums etc. Around August/September I decided to step away from the simple cut/paste jobs and actually try to get into doing proper gfx art. So I started up an organization called "The Ministry". I'm available for any gfx work, always free of charge. If you're interested in contacting me, you can either do it here or emailing me at [email protected]
Some of my works include an MP3 player and a microphone i designed, as well as a few abstract graphics. You can check em out in my pics section
Thanks again, and i look forward to hearing from you!

I created my own profile using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM and you should too!
