I got into programming in school but would often draw art for video games I&#8217;d never get around to actually coding. I wanted to go into design but being good at math I was routed into technical schooling, so I took art classes on the side.<\/p><p>I&#8217;ll never forget one of my drawing teachers being disappointed that art wasn&#8217;t my chosen path, but she was hopeful that whatever I chose, I&#8217;d use my creativity and artistic sense. I&#8217;m sure she&#8217;ll never see this nor likely even remember me, but her words have stuck with me after all these years. I worked for several years in the entertainment industry and was quite humbled to see the absolutely incredible talent of the artists, so I stayed with technology.<\/p><p>Nevertheless, this site is an attempt to explore both my creative and technical sides, and I hope someone will find something useful here.<\/p>\n<h2>colophon<\/h2>\n<p>The blog portion of this site is powered by <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.com\">WordPress<\/a>.
