VioletIris began many, many years ago on a privately owned server as a personal web site for a sad little teenager who was learning HTML. Since then, after stealing the domain name and moving it to a new sever, it has become the cover name for all of my works, from graphic design to illustrating, writing and other various projects. The twist ending is that the sad little teenager was me. Bet you didn't see that one coming.
Now, for the first time since 2002, VioletIris is back up and running with fully functional pages, and links, and galleries, and information. It's a little surreal.
I specialize in typography design and illustration, which can translate well into logo/branding or layout -- I have done web sites, book & graphic novel covers, posters, and t-shirts. I'm inspired by very early cinema -- silent films and the like -- and the middle of the 20th century.
I have also done my share of writing, including the authoring of five books (the Final Waltz Trilogy, Skeptics + Innocents, and the more popular Derelict Heaven) which are all sitting on desks somewhere waiting to be published. I've been awarded for my work in writing screenplays (most noteably An October Night), where I often feel my true calling is -- if I could go back and do my schooling over again I would have majored in film production rather than linguistics.
At the moment I am officially employed with a translating company in Minneapolis, live in St. Paul, play guitar, and am working on a few literary projects, including an adult prequel to a quirky children's story. When I grow up, I want to be a 1969 Corvette.
