The small things Manifesto

This is a work in progress, a living document.

@ajroach42 Hey there!
I'm slowly weaning myself off the bird-site. I don't want to be a Muskovite.

Some background...
I'm a husband, a dad of 3 awesome adult people, a huge dog lover (I hugely love dogs, and I love huge dogs), and by day I'm a software developer focusing on web applications. I have a background in the arts - visual media, illustration, animation, and fell into software dev at the end of last century, and it has been paying the bills ever since.

My hopes, dreams, and plans? I lean hard-left, politically. This hasn't always been the case, but the older I get, the more compassion I have developed for other people, and the end result is that I would love to see the downfall of capitalism as we know it. Some day, I would love to live a small existence, appreciating what's around me, and ignoring noise...the chase for success...the competition for bigger house, better car, bigger salary...

I'm glad to be here, and I'm glad you're all here!

@jifka @ajroach42 sounds amazing I’m trying to break into doing illustration work, would love to work for a video games company, I’ve done “a job” as an artwork coordinator for a pharmaceutical company but this is not really my bag. I’ve been doing it to pay the bills…

@Merculargo while in some ways I miss being in the design world every day, I don’t miss doing artwork for $ as a primary job. I still do some design work as a natural consequence of working on web user interfaces tho. Doing it as a job can often kill your passion for art and design. Clients can really grind you down.
