A little about me...
I
am a self-taught graphic designer that learned everything by just clicking
around the computer and learning. As a young boy I was interested in art
and took lessons painting with oil paint and really enjoyed it, again I
was a very young man...
FAST FORWARD several years to the age of the PC and the Internet.
I was first introduced computer graphics by a friend and he was kind
enough to tolerate my stupid questions and show me the ropes of a few
programs, Adobe Photoshop being one of them.
Immediately I thought, “Wow, this is great! I can create something with
color and never get paint on my hands”. Well needless to say it was all
over from there as I was like a kid in a candy store. I remember in the
beginning staying up for 2 days, of course massive amounts of coffee, soft
drinks, and dull adrenaline powered me along. I was totally infatuated
with the abilities I was learning every minute.
Fast forward again...
That was nearly 15 years ago and I am still learning some new trick or
technique every day.
I love what I do and it shows I believe in the work I produce. My theory
is and has always been, “If you’re happy, then I’m happy”, and thus far it
seems to be working.
With the beauty of the Internet I can provide services for you no matter
where you are and thus the mission of my web site. Oh yeah, I am sure
you’re wondering where the soundude.com came from. Well I actually did
audio productions for many many years and just thought it was cool,
nothing to do with graphics.
If you see anything on this site you like, or have ideas of what
you are wanting simply drop me a line to grfx@soundude.com and we will see
what we can come up with for you!
I look forward to providing my service to you.
