About Me



I'm a 30 year old freelance artist, writer, and prepress designer. I've worked in comics and I've worked in film.

Anything else you wanna know 'bout me, find it at my site oneGemini[dot]com.

A few selected pieces from my portfolio at oneGemini[dot]com;

My Interests

Films, comic books, writing, drawing, music, singing, and lotsa other stuff.

I'd like to meet:

I primarily joined up here for old friends. That's about it. I'm not here to have a big number under "Blair has XXX number of friends." I couldn't care less about that. Old friends and a couple of industry contacts, that's about it.I'm pretty elitist about this shite. If you try to friend me and I don't know you and we've never met, I'm gonna grill you on who the funk you are, and then still probably won't add you. Nothing personal -- just my perogative. Get over it.
