SandHazard is my call sign. My golfing friends call me that due to the fact that my golf ball seems to find any sandy spot on the course. I have been doing art or designing since a child. I have always been interested in visual design, from drawing on the walls of my bedroom with a fist full of Crayons as a child to pushing pixels around on the computer today. I recieved my Arts degree from Ringling School of Art and Design. Worked in television and Internet companies for most of my career. I am now a semi-retired design professional. I owned my own digital design firm in California for about ten years. Now I live in Oregon and concentrate on visual design consulting and computer fine art. I am currently interested in the "Super Flat" digital art movement in Japan. I spent some time in Japan and still follow Takashi Murakami, Onoe and a few others. I am also interested in Anime, Manga.
