Intro

I'll start with the basic info first I guess.
Name: Matt
Male, age 22, Milwaukee Wisconsin
Graphic Design major to graduate Dec. 2008
Also work as a design intern for Holoubek Studios, Inc. - Website
This should be a bit of an amalgam of interests. Observation, inspiration, concepts, designs, and whatever else I may need to store here because my brain will forget it. Hopefully this will help me organize things in a helpful way for myself, and maybe even inspire or entertain others.

I also hope for this to inhibit my relatively sociopathic behavior. I've been sort of confused on the term for a while, so I looked it up. According to this quiz I am 44% sociopath. Of course online quizzes aren't much of a reliable source, and it's not the only one I used, but I can break it down for myself based on symptoms. I don't possess a lot of the "being a complete asshole to get what I want" tendencies, but that's probably only because I don't often "want" a whole lot of things from people. I do, however, fit the bill when it comes to general apathy and disregard for rules/offending people/general perceptions of "right and wrong". But I'm going to wait to dive into all that; this is supposed to be an introductory post anyway.

I'll start with some links to get the ball rolling in the right direction.

Links to tons of design resources

My Flickr

Scott Hansen - designer/musician extraordinaire/huge inspiration to me

Fealasy / Rianna Møller deviantart - Another big inspiration - She has taken all the older/awesome stuff off her website so I linked her deviantart, it's got everything, good and bad.

This is just a song I've been listening to a lot...
Adam Freeland - We Want Your Soul

Okay, now I think I'm going to go draw something, since I have really fallen out of the habit of my drawing/painting roots recently
