Just look at that dramatic and thought provoking pose.

I’ve spent the last 16 years working in advertising,
contracting, marketing, higher-ed, game publishing
and software. My work has been featured in dozens
of online galleries, 2 “best-of” books, and 1 weird
European magazine. I’ve written 3 books for the
Kindle, I’ve managed projects in 5 states, I’ve
enjoyed an expansive career in digital art
and branding, and if I end this paragraph
with my signature, I’m pretty sure it’ll
look all, like, way smart and official.

In this twisted whirlwind of design subjectivity and debased Photoshopery, those of us who decide to call ourselves “artists” or whatever new "thought worker" title seems appropriate - Visual Lead, Web Designer, UX Ninja, Murderous Cut-Throat Art Czar - chances are you spend every day with Adobe Photoshop open on your computer.

I told a Creative Director once, "I think I may die with Photoshop open." He smiled, nodded, and we finished our espresso in silent contemplation.

It's an extensive look at some of my favorite bits of work in advertising, higher-ed, and marketing from the last few years.

Three ways to see it:

1.) Email me, set up a big fancy interview, and let's chat.
2.) Steal the book from my home. Please don't do this.
3.) Tell me where the gems are hidden. TELL ME.

It’s only kinda fancy.

I grow ever-closer to growing a ponytail and having my wife introduce me at parties as "a novelist."

One book of essays and two science fiction novels down. Next: A bloody epic about moonshining-whale-slavers and how I overthrew the whole lot, alone, with my bare hands and an ivory comb given to me by the ghost of William Howard Taft.

Check em' out over on Amazon.
