I'm trying to think what I should tell you about myself.  Life story?  No, that'd be bad.  Nobody wants that one.  That I like using contractions in writing, whether you't (you might) say them in speaking or not?  Uhh, well, that's kind of useless information, though if you tend to like those things...

I suppose I could tell you that I've been in graphic design for 7 years, and have been filming tv commercials and creating their motion graphics for over 5; that I've worked freelance, at a tv station as the lead graphic designer, and at a video production company as the artistic director.

Perhaps I could throw in that I made my first short film in 2005, and have since been focused on writing and filmmaking with a RedRock Micro'd sort of lens.  (You know, shallow depth of field --as in, quite focused...)

If I were going to say anything, I'd definitely want ot emphasize my music, and that, above all my other artforms, it's the one I feel most satisfied in, the one most vital to me.

But, well, slight little thing --two actually.  First, I really can't imagine you'd care all that much to know those things.  I guess I could be wrong there, but, most likely, not knowing any of those things isn't going to cause some life-threatening illness or other disasterousish things.  And second, now I don't need to tell you, do I --you know, considering the part where, well, I've already, you know, told you.

I'll leave it in the simplest and ultimately most accurate form, and that's: I am not a graphic designer, though I happen do that; I'm not a writer, filmmaker, or, despite my possible objections here, a composer, though, yes, happen to do all those as well.  My goal, in all and whatever forms it may take, is to be simply an artist.
