After years working full time as a designer and freelancing inbetween, I am now focused full time on building up my own brand and helping others with my skills.In my spare time I am starting to move my print on demand items to making them myself. This initially is my pin badge designs, and I will follow that with making the t-shirts myself (or at least finding a good manufacturer locally that can do better than the print on demand places). There is a satisfaction in not only designing but making the items yourself. And I get to brand and package everything in ways that I think is going to look great.Goals:Finish writing and illustrating a children's book and publishing it, along with getting my lyrics and poetry put to music and then building music videos for them. Long term goals:These are the big ones. Record another album (it's been some years since I did any serious music but there's lots of ideas waiting to go) and get a slot as a speaker at a design conference. Then there is the goal of hand making a book and using my slowly improving calligraphy skills to fill it.Fun fact:I once got myself properly ordained to poke fun at a friend with an ever increasing amount of pre and post-nominals added to my name on my email signature as his work insisted he used them (and he thought it was ridiculous). So my actual title is still Reverend to this day.
