This is my website. In my story, I'm a hero who solves the world's problems using graphic design tools, web development and my own perfect brand of humor. I got lost for a while, but I think I'm back now. I think you should be apart of my story too. Not a background extra with no lines, but like a major supporting role. The invitation is out there.
My family and friends might visit here occasionally, so you never know what I might post on here. I love sharing the things I find and learn with others. It empowers me. I also enjoy helping others, consulting what I know for business and personal websites and marketing.
Lately I've been updating a few articles here, but my tutorials are still in flux. Just don't take all this stuff too seriously. I wouldn't want to actually be held responsible for the things I post here, which is why I don't discuss power tools and medical procedures.
I'm a writer too
I wrote a book in 2005 on the Adobe Graphics Suite (CS2) which from the title you can tell is the great American novel of its time. Sadly it has become somewhat obsolete as Adobe has released subsequent version(s) since then, but once in a while I find that someone benefitted from my book, which made it worth while.
I'll try to keep everyone posted of my upcoming writing projects. And by 'upcoming projects' I mean the 3/4 of my unfinished life coated with dust. Actually I've enjoyed all of the copy writing I've been doing for various clients, and my blog gets my attention too. That's enough for me at the moment.
- Mike's book at Amazon (buy it used for a whopping 56 cents!)
- Sample Tools Chapter at InformIT
Freelancing at the SmickWorks Laboratory
Freelance website design and graphics at the SmickWorks laboratory has been rewarding for me. I've created a company called SmickWorks because I needed a place to launder money. If you have been itching to put together a website, or need help with a book, logo, flyer, banner graphic or basically any web or print advertisement, I may be your guy. I've got connections man. You better believe it.
My ideal clients are those that I can inspire, small business kind of people, those who need my help and appreciate what I personally believe is smart design.
