I'm 21 years old as of 9-16-10. I am currently in my fourth year as a Sociology major at Alfred University. I spent the first year and a half of my college career at Alfred University as a Fine Arts major, but I eventually came to realize that art without computers isn't me. Alfred's Fine Arts curriculum is a lovely program, and it really is top-notch when it comes to the caliber of the work produced there, but it just wasn't my style. I'm a computer man. I love technology. I love being able to learn and see what new innovations are out there. Experimenting with the boundaries between what today's society sees as a beautiful piece and what would be dismissed as a heartless program has kept me awake more nights than I can even begin to count. For that reason I decided to transfer to RIT to become a Computer Science major for a year. Due to the lack of financial aid they could offer me there, though, I decided to transfer back to Alfred after doing three quarters of CS at RIT. It really is an amazing school, and I wish things had worked out better there, but since my return to Alfred, things have gotten really really good. Like, off the charts good. So Sociology is my thing now I suppose.
So, what else. Oh yes, inspiration. Back in high school, I took a graphic design class, and one of the assignments we were given was to create our own logo. This assignment ended up being the cornerstone for one of the biggest motifs in my artwork. Logo design is one of my specialties, and I feel pretty confident in saying that I know what makes a good logo. The logo I had designed during that class in high school became a ritual of sorts, with every year bringing a new logo, a new brand and overall theme for my artwork. Every birthday, for the past 6 birthdays, I made a new logo to stamp on my work. I hope to say more about what each one meant to me in my Artist's Statements.
Anyways. I don't know where this page will take me, I've heard that a lot of people have become pretty well known from the work they put here, and it would be everything I could ask for if my work bought me something even related to that recognition. Most of my stuff, up to this point, has been posted on my Facebook, and I was quite okay with the way it was there, but Facebook is obviously not optimized for sharing art, so I guess this is a step up from what I've come to see as my modus operandi for sharing my work.

We'll see.
