I'm sick...

It has been several days since I have been able to take a deep breath without coughing or sneezing right afterward. Being sick really sucks. It has given me a lot of time to think, however. And there is really only one thing that has been on my mind primarily: creation. Ever since I started getting serious about getting better at graphic arts, all it takes is allowing my mind to wander just the smallest bit and it will start thinking about what I can design next. Photoshop.......Illustrator...........UltraFractal.........Dreamweaver.........these have become as much a part of me as my own beating heart.

My only wish? More time. I hardly get to work on designing between work, being a good husband, church and friends and family. Every chance I get, however I break out Nemesis and my Intuos3 and get to work. I feel....................really good when I design. There are so many aspects of why it feels so good.......I dare not try to explain them all. I probably don't even know the full extent of them myself. There is one in particular I cannot pass up....

So there I am........sitting at Starbucks during lunch desiging like I do just about everyday. I sit there, much like all of you, and effectively manipulate 1s and 0s on my screen and somehow output a Jpeg that looks like this. Its actually quite amazing when you think about it. I am a Christian. Have been for going on 8 years now. And since beginning to design things it has let me appreciate the world around me in a way I have never been able to before. God's Creation is the most magnificent work of art that has ever been conceived. It is sometimes hard to regonize, however, the Truth that God painted on the canvas of the Night.

"When there is a design, there's a designer. When there's a plan, there'e a planner. And when there is a Miracle, there is a God."
