frequently asked questions

Over the past few years I have been asked several questions countless times. Whereas these questions will inevitably continue to come, I'm going to start here...

The number one most asked question (besides: who are you dating) --

1. When are you going to move back to Arkansas?
I don't know where I'll be in 10 years much less tomorrow, but as long as I have the opportunity to continue living and working in Manhattan, then I'm staying settled. Whatever is in God's plan is where I'll be. Until further notice, I'm stayin' on the island.

2. You subscribe to more magazines than anyone else I know. Do you read each one? 
Sort of. Some magazines I get for recipes, some for fashion, home design, stories, etc. Most of the magazines I subscribe to are for design inspiration. From financial to fashion, all magazines have different niche design elements that are relevant to my industry. Therefore it is justifiable.

3. What do you do with your magazines? 

Most of the time, I tab, tear, and file. This past post "if you ever call me a hoarder..." explains that process. I clearly don't file an entire magazine. GQ and Esquire, Dwell and Domino (which is no longer in print), for example, I cannot bring myself to tear up any of them. I have all 2009-2011 issues of the first three are all in my apartment. Issues prior are in plastic and dressers in a storage unit in Arkansas. Please note, I do not have a storage unit for magazines. The unit was purchased to house the overflowing furniture from my college apartment and house. This is turn makes it a convenient location to house my magazine surplus. 

I also roll extra/left over magazine pages like this for future DIY projects. Image borrowed from Recyclart

4. What do you do? 

I am a freelance graphic and web designer. I have several clients within in the city as well as others scattered around the country, including Kansas City and Atlanta. I recently gained a new client in Manhattan who I will be working on several projects with. So to clear up any confusion, I WORK.

5. Why don't you add links to ideas or pictures in your blog? 

I do. Unless I take the pictures my self. Any purple link or comment under a picture that says something to the effect of "image borrowed from..." is a link to that image/project/blog or web site mentioned. As seen below above image. 

Feel free to request any more questions. Hope a few things were answered. Thanks for reading!
