My Words

- I said a new design would be up about a week ago...but we all know how life gets busy! I finishing up on a couple freelance projects. One is a CMS for A2G, in the process of programming their CMS (using my PureEdit) I have completely rewrote PureEdit using a new concept I've learned the past week practicing application development. I'll be releasing a update on that shortly…but after my new design!

- My friend Cody started talking about all these freelance designers in the UK who were featured in an art mag he had bought. Seeing all of their personal blogs inspired me to create my own. Not much going on today except being lazy like always, sitting behind my computer doing freelance work for family/friends/friends of friends.
My Story
Born on June 8th, 1986 in Oklahoma I quickly started to doodle and scribble what you could somewhat call drawings.
In late 2000 I was introduced to the art of web design...Let me rephrase that, I was introduced to the art of Homestead. After a few months it was time to move on a friend, Philip Wickett, had told me and bought me the now dreaded FrontPage 98.
In early 2001 is when I started picking up on the web design world. I kept meeting new friends who in return would teach me and somewhat 'push' me into differnt aspects of web design. First it was PhotoShop, "Man, Mike! Learn PhotoShop!" ... "Mike! PHP, gosh, PHP!" ... "You gotta get into this DHTML scene man!" ... "Ohh, Flash is where the future is, do it!"
The person I have to thank the most for pushing me in the right direction of most of the areas I excel at today is a friend who I like to call 'Jake ______.' I am not sure of his last name, he won't tell me it. Jake mainly pushed PhotoShop and PHP upon me.
Today I have become a freelance web designer, developer, and programmer, innovating company websites all over the web.
