Get Devious!

This one goes out especially to Jordan. If you haven't done so already, join DeviantArt.com; its a great way to get exposure to your work. When I added my flash animation to the site, within 3 hours I had 2 people add it to their favorites and in a couple days I have had nearly 100 views. Since I'm forced to take a break from school for a quarter or 2, I plan on using my scarce spare time to churn out as much quality work as I can and post it to DV in hopes that it may lead to a job or a some freelance work.


Now for everyone else...
I mentioned trying to churn out some work for the exposure purpose in hopes that the right person will like what I'm doing and I can get some Benjamins in my pocket and hopefully tell the TSA to kiss my shiny white butt. If you or anyone you know is in need of a website, let me know. I plan on doing my first few for free, my only payment will be that I can add the site to my portfolio. The only money the client will have to put into it is the for publishing on a server and that won't need to go through me.

My experince:
Photoshop
Illustrator
Flash
Dreamweaver
XHTML
Digital Photography

One more note:
I already own the domain name www.dickfamily.me, if anyone has Ideas for the site let me know.

Brittny's Wisdoms

Brittny (Justin's daughter) called to tell me her daddy bought her a hamster. When he brought it home she named him fluffy. But then, when she picked him up it bit her so she changed his named to Chewy!

Let's all encourage Jenny to go back to school. (and quit smoking)

Unemployed WoooHooo!

Yeah of course I had to be nuts to voluntarily become unemployed in this economic climate but there was no getting around it. Not sure were to go from here. I'm not convinced I will go back to medical even though it is pretty stable. We'll see. Suggestions are welcome!
