Beginning in September, I opted to take some extra time off from the day job for my own projects. This website is one of many (checkmarks one project off the list). After getting over the fact that someone out there had to have my name, I took longer than needed to obsess on flash movies, sort through portfolio, and build me a site. Now begins the endless joy of tweaking, refining, completely scrapping, and rebuilding the website… oh yeah, and creating better illustration and design content to fill it. Welcome to the blog… (if you can handle it).

Congratulations Jon! I’m glad you included a blog as well – blogging IS fun.
You are an incredibly talented individual – it’s nice to see you finally share that talent online through your illustration and graphic design. And look at you go with the Flash! Wow. Best of luck with your website as you continue to tweak it again and again (Perfectionism IS addicting you know). I added you to my list of illustrators, but of course!
