Well... Today marks four, yes four, years since I first joined this fine site. Over the time I have seen things change, some better, some worse. I have made many friends and seen a lot of amazing art work and learned from it all. I guess the reason why I felt like writing this journal entry is not only to show that Ive been around for a while now, but to just thank all of the great designers on this site. Without DeviantArt, I would not be where I am with my designing without the people of this site. I first learned the basics and fundamentals of designing from people showing off there work and from helping me when I needed help. Over the time I have grown in experience from trial and error and to this day it continues the same. Try till you succeed.

Since Ive joined this website many things have changed in my life. I have grown up, gone through school, moved into my own house, got engaged to the most beautiful woman in the world, and new things every day. I knew that no matter what happened I could come to this site, view and comment on other peoples works of art and enjoy my time I spend here. It makes me come back more and more.

So here is my offer. For being able to enjoy and learn so much for the last four years I decided that I would like to give a little back to the community that has helped me out so much. I will be giving away three fully custom web site designs, all will be made from scratch to your needs, to the three people who I feel that have really given something to DeviantArt in the past. Post here if you know a person who has done that. I would like to find three people who have really given a lot to the people of DeviantArt and be able to give to them.

If you feel that you have given to everyone a lot in the past send me a note or post here telling me why you feel that you deserve this present. I am open to anything so dont be shy.

Also like always, I am open to all clients who are looking for quality designs at a low price. All custom and original works.

To sum this journal up, I am going to say; Thank you DeviantArt, and everyone on it for being such a great place to be!

Well recently I have gotten more time to work on designs. I am currently working on multiple projects for contests, clients, and companies. Most of the contest designs I post here. Some of the company designs I can not post yet because the companies ask me not to show anyone till the site is launched. Anyways to the main reason of this journal entry.

---------------------------------------------------------
Designer for hire
---------------------------------------------------------

I am always open for new clients and projects. I have low prices and high quality. If you like some of my work in my gallery just send me a note if you are interested in any of the designs to buy or if you would like a custom design.

Please give me up to 24 hours to return all messages to you.

Thank you.

Well last night I was bored and was chatting on aol instant messenger and thought I might try to make my own buddy icon. I could only think of one thing to pick to make it about and that is my beloved motorcycle

This is a picture of my bike:

So what do you think?

Also wanted to make sure to say Happy Holidays to everyone and a Merry Christmas!

Oh yeah, cant forget Happy New Years 2007 as well!!!!

Yep. First semester is already over! Man it went fast. Anyways that means that this week is finals week. I wont be on as much as normal and wont be able to make any new stuff for a while. Over christmas break I will have some time to.

Happy Holidays Everyone!

**Update**

Well this week is flying by. Tomorrow is my last final. Happy that they are almost over but tomorrow its gonna be a fun one at 8am. :-/ Oh well its the last one and then we are off school till Jan. 15th 2007!

Well I just wanted to take this time to tell everyone why I have not submitted anything for a while. Its because for the past month or so I have been working on my new house to fix it up for going to college. Yes, college. I start this monday! (8/21/06)

I just moved all my stuff in three days ago and still have not put everything away. Of course my computer was the first thing to get set up and I just wanted to tell people Im still alive but will be busy for at least another week then I hope to be able to try and work on some new stuff and submit it!

I still get online to view all the work everyone is submitting and I try to comment as much as I can but for now I am just to busy to get any work done in photoshop which I hate but it happens!

Later.

How does it feel to spend $4,500 like its nothing?

Well I will tell you. It feels great! Hahaha.
Just wanted to tell you guys that I just got a new car and new motorcycle! (I am telling everyone)
I sold the R1 to my brother cause he loves it and I didnt mind selling it to him for a another one I was looking at. Its a 2002 Suzuki SV650. Has lots of custom stuff on it already and I am gonna add more to it. The weather is getting colder out each day but I will ride till it snows and then some. The car is a 1997 Chrysler Cirrus. Yes thats not new but I got it from family and is in great shape and for only $1,500 you cant beat it. I will get pictures of the bike up when I get some.
