i am a writer, photographer, graphic artist, and web information designer based in raleigh, nc. i work in both digital and physical media. i also design jewelry on occasion. i like to mix media types -- i have a tendency toward paper collage and often use text or typography in my pieces. in may of '08 i finally quit my soul-sucking corporate web job to become a starving artist. (what great economic timing i have! and yet, it's still the best decision i ever made. go figure.) doing webby things for a living kind of burnt me out on that (and let us *never* speak of corporate marketing again), so for the time being, i have foregone the personal website route in favor of an "amos fly" presence in various corners of the web: Supporting my graphic design habit (tees and stuff): http://www.cafepress.com/amosfly My photog portfolio: http://www.flickr.com/photos/amosfly Succumbing to the blogosphere (story behind amos fly is here): http://amosfly.blogspot.com/ i find humor an effective communications tool. i think compassion, mercy, and awareness are sadly under-used by most of humanity. i read like a fiend. i like zombie movies. i also tend to like cats better than people.
