I am an artist and designer in Columbus, Ohio. I am employed full time but also find time to freelance design projects for print and web marketing. I also find time to paint and illustrate.

My hobbies include reading anything of a linguistic or etymological nature, philosophy & religion, Art shows, cinema, internet, cooking, beer, wine and spirits, and anything that I can learn. I am passionate about creativity.

I am married to a beautiful woman and my best friend, Jennifer Mae. We have a beautiful daughter, Sophia Rose, who is a real inspiration from which we learn from daily.

You Suck At Photoshop

Here is a tutorial from a series on “My Damn Channel” that is one of many decent tutorials on using photoshop. The tips and tricks are nice,  but it is the man’s sense of humor that is really great and entertaining. If you don’t know much about how to edit or clean up digital photos using photoshop, then this guy will probably entertain you enough for you to actually retain the information as apposed to falling asleep like most video tutorials. So, check out this tutorial where this guy shows you how to remove a wedding ring from the hand of a woman… because it has unfortunately lost its meaning. in the background you will hear his wife yelling at him… as he removes a band off of who I think could be his wife’s finger. Hilarious!
