Writing
The primary purpose of this site is to provide clear, top quality written commentary and study into a wide variety of subjects. Though some of the more fun and entertaining subject matter (i.e. entertainment, video games, movies, etc.) usually take precedence, there is still a focus on some larger issues as well (i.e. social commentary, politics, statistics, etc.).
Here are a few notable articles I’ve written to get you started:

Art
Before I started writing, I was a freelance illustrator and graphic designer. Most of my portfolio consists of commissioned images/illustrations, political cartoons, caricatures, and personal works. You can see most of my previous work at the following link:
