I've had many different jobs over the years but I've been an artist my entire life. I own a sign shop in South Florida. Although I have 15 years experience, I've only had my own place, Vital Signs, for seven years. I love my job. It's never the same old thing. It is definitely something different every day. We get people from all walks of life in here. One minute we're putting gold leaf lettering on a million dollar yacht and the next we could be putting a migrant worker's last name on the back of a beat up pickup truck. We tend to attract some crazies too. I never know what's going to walk in my door. Some of my more memorable requests are flaming up a wall-mounted bass and making a life-size standee of a fireman so that he could (in a way) attend his bachelor party. Check out some of our work in the slide show and picture section that can be found here:

I hate being bored. I can't stand sitting at home.

I'm an atheist and a man of science. I have many, many interests, so please don't invite me to join in on your hobby. I'd never be able to concentrate on just one thing. I'll read just about anything I can get my hands on. I'm not a people person. If you need me, talk to my business partner or, if you must, send me an email. I loathe euphemisms, though I often find myself amused by them. I'm not cut out for relationships though I keep finding myself in one. I'm currently getting a kick out of blowing away twelve year-olds Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (Xbox Live). I've been through three XBox 360's in less than six months. Make sure your fucking product works before you release it to the public. I don't draw nearly as much as I used to now that I get paid to do it. I've done work for Coca-Cola, Coors, the New York Mets, the MLB AllStar Game, DNA Energy Drink, and numerous other companies. I'm proud of the fact that a ton of my stickers can be found on Abrams tanks and Hovercrafts over in the Gulf War. I'm an Army veteran myself. I may not have served our country for very long due to my severe problem with authority, however I do have great respect for all of our current members of the armed forces. I firmly believe that we should not be fighting any wars today and hope that our guys get to come home as soon as possible.
