About Me
Height: 5'11'' (Soo close to 6'!)
Birthday: March 30
Astrology: Aries Ram/Year of the Ox
Strength(s): Sense of Self, Sense of the Ridiculous
Achilles Heal: Anxiety. Apparently the only thing I fear is fear itself. Dammit.
I guess I'd sum myself up through my love of stories, animals, and my constant need to be making something (especially involved in with either animals or stories). I'm pretty outgoing, especially considering how shy a kid I was, but I still need a lot of quiet time to retreat into between adventures. I'm very good at throwing myself into 'impossible tasks' being ridiculously determined to make them work despite. Its fun when they work.

About the Site
Current function is to provide a reference for my work as I attempt to branch out into the great wide world of making things.
It also serves as a really cool collection of my best work and will likely end up as a virtual base of operations for me.
Looking forward to things to come.
If you're wondering, I designed and coded the entire website and html by hand, myself, in notepad. I'm a semi-competent code-monkey, but a ridiculously determined one.
'Universe flux' or 'universe by the motion'?
Well, both actually.
I adopted universe by the motion back at the beginning of high school
through a strange sequence of events. And it stuck. Its rare for things like that to
stick with me and retain their initial meaning so I wanted to keep it around. But
universe_by_the_motion.com is just too awkward. I know this from writing down my e-mail
for people. Its memorable, but long and weird. So after playing around with rephrasings
(moving universe etc) for a very long time, none of which had quite the same impact to me,
I had a flash of ingenuity: Universe Flux. The universe in constant change, motion, flow
etc. Its where things dissolve and get recreated. It's change, creation, wonder,
uncertainty - all the meanings tied together, and its what this site is a digital representation of for me.
My odd[er] side was also amused that in medical terminology flux can basically mean diarrhea... and if verbal diarrhea is
the creation of words (read: talks to much) then what does the flux of the universe make?
This website apparently.

Prints, Merchandise & Commissions
If there are any designs you are particularly keen on and/or would like a print of, drop me an e-mail or a comment on livejournal as to which ones you're in love with. Encouragement is lovely in any form and prints will be high quality copies or prints (depending on the media) as I won't settle for less and likely not too expensive (like under $15 depending on the print, I'll pin this down after some more market research, thanks for your patience!)
As to commissions - I'm not sure where I stand on them at the moment. I have a lot of plans of my own going. However if you would be overjoyed to have me draw something, send me an e-mail again and we'll discuss the options. Mostly, I'm just very hesitant to accept them at the moment, due to confidence, time, and concerns over payment methods. As the situation changes so will my options. I'm usually up for a challenge.
