I like beautiful things.
Recently I've been collecting Picasa scrapbooks of the most visually breathtaking clippings, screenshots and photographs I have. You're welcome to share in this if you stop by my gallery.

I like things organised.
I'm a fairly obsessive collector of video games and of merchandise. I've found Shelfari to be very fun indeed as a means to showcase my book collection, and you can see my games library at IGN.

I like things slick.
I live by the sans serifs of this world, by Bauhaus influences and the shiny, futuristic look of a good sci-fi utopia. You can see examples of my graphics design all around you or at my deviantART gallery, and some of the more creative sci-fi leanings in my portfolio.

Finally, I like things fun.
I try to fnd fun in all that I do, and have, in turn, tried to channel this into games design as a practice hobby. Though I can't share those designs, you can see some of the artwork at Sinnyo Studio. You can also read about my gaming exploits in a new weblog, coming soon.
