Give to Receive (original) (raw)

I've been meaning to do this, I really HAVE...just slipped my mind. (That happens a lot).

Well, let's see what I can do.

First and foremost, graphics and art.

I can do graphic design, either in Quark XPress, Photoshop, Illustrator, Freehand, and some Flash and Corel Draw. So banners, icons, colorbars, logos, what have you, I can probably do it.

I can do traditional art, almost any media. I loathe acrylics, so I will avoid those like the plague. I'm just getting into markers, so no hope there yet. I prefer either working with Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, oil pastels, or colored pencils. And I prefer oils over watercolor, but I do love both. I've also had some experience with tattoo design, but I never actually put the tattoo on, so to speak.

I also do web design, mostly by scratch but once in awhile I like to make things fancy with Dreamweaver or some standard CSS. I prefer writing the HTML myself, or at least being able to look at it and tweak it. I've been doing web design since 98, so I could probably do it in my sleep. I'm not so familiar with Javascript or PHP yet... and flash is sort iffy but I know it. *dusts off cobb webs* But if someone needed a quick site or something that looks nice, I could probably do it. This is my current website for my portfolio. (Man, that needs to be updated like whoa).

I can offer writing too, although I don't know what I can really offer. If you have a plot bunny you can't handle or something you want, I can probably handle it...

I have some knowledge on Astrology and Tarot, so I can usually give advice there. I don't know about reading tarot over the net, I probably couldn't do that, but I have been reading tarot since high school. My activity teetered off in the last years, but I got a new deck and learned a new spread, so I'm ready to get back into it again.

I'm terrible at crafts, cooking, and anything where a sewing machine is required. I'm in awe of people that can do that stuff. No really, you should have seen the bird house I once made. A cockroach wouldn't live in it.

I'm a big joiner and like to take to coordinate stuff. I don't mind helping people out if they need something fast, I've been known to do last minute things before for people like banners or icons.

I don't have any openings at the moment, but if someone posts something, I may still take a look. I do like to work on things simultaneously, so anything's possible!

As far as actual stuff that I could trade off, I do have a pile ready to go on Amazon or Ebay of unwanted manga, anime and books. Once I start transfering my VHS tapes onto computer files, I'll be getting rid of those too. I don't know how that's going to work here, but I'm always up for trades for sure.

Thanks for inviting me!
