- My Focuses: Anime Artist, Painter, Varied Artist, CSS Designer, HTML/XHTML Designer
- What I do: I've had classes and experience in almost every type of common art; if you need a bunch of random commissions in different types of media (such as a fashion design, a felt plush, a custom CSS blog layout AND a hand-woven bead necklace) then I'd be a good choice. I'm not the absolute best at any genre, but I can do pretty well at almost anything, making me a very VERSATILE artist.
My specialties are custom-made ipod cases, anime art and custom CSS layouts for sites such as LiveJournal and Artician. I'm great with HTML, but my real talent is modifying the appearance of an existent HTML / PHP framework using cascading stylesheets. I love the power of CSS, and I think that its potential is too neglected. Properly used, CSS can change almost anything about a web page- but setting the display to "none" I can even remove entire elements from a page, and then restore them later by changing the display quality in the CSS. :) Very convenient!
I'm most interested in watercolor painting, but apparently I'm better at custom CSS and iPod cases- I've only gotten one painting commission in my entire career, but I get tons of commissions for custom ipod cases and custom CSS layouts for LiveJournal, etc. (This is fine, because I really, REALLY love CSS. I can edit cascading stylesheets for hours on end without getting bored.)
