Where to begin? The not-so-vital statistics, I guess. I'm 25, in the middle of a Digital Media program at George Brown College, and the possessor of a Bachelor degree in English Lit and 29/30ths (due to an administrative screwup) of a Bachelor in Psychology.
I have very little experience in Digital Media, so there's not a lot of fancy stuff to put up here. I've been selling writing and illustrations for the past couple of years as a tangent running off of my editing business - formerly Ilex Editing, Ilex Information Services, and now Ilex Information & Design
MY ESTEEMED PORTFOLIO:
- I've done some layout and CD cover design for the Department of Defence CFLC - pretty exciting stuff, making pretty pictures for training manual CDs.
- I've done posters for the Ottawa Folklore Centre - using photoshop and by hand.
- I've done digital cartoon strips for my old site - Heroesgonebad.com - and the Dialog (GBC student newspaper.)
- I've done freehand illustrations with digital cleanup for Youth in Care Network publications.
A little background Info can never hurt, so:
I'm from Redbridge, Ontario - a small town of 1400 people (containing not one bridge, red or otherwise) outside of North Bay, a city whose sole purpose was to house NORAD missile silos and then to house the military personnel who came to work with the weapons.
I moved to Ottawa for University and lived there for almost 6 years. Then I came here, to Toronto, last December. I'm still figuring out the city.
I'm a Canadian mutt with mostly Irish and Scottish ancestors, baptised United, never attended church regularily, and deicided I was a tao-buddhist at the age of 12. I'm not tao, and perhaps never will be, but that's why I believe in the tao so much. Desire is suffering. it *is* - there's no way you can refute the truth.
That's all.
