About The_Ricemeister

I'm a web designer wanna-be.  I'm also into graphic design, art, writing, marketing,  movies, and inline skating. 

I would love to work in the web design or development field, but the fact that I am largely self-taught tends to hold me back.  If you have any work for someone whose interest outweighs their formal education, please contact me!
