I'm Jonathan. Welcome to my online portfolio. I'm a graphic artist who works in all the industry standards, from
Photoshop to Illustrator to LightWave to Flash. Have a look around with the menu above and enjoy.

Currently I've been working with After Effects and have been looking in to refining my web design. If there is a
program I don't know, I'm more than happy to learn it. Even if I don't need it for work, I enjoy having the power
at my fingertips.

While taking classes, my electives were often creative writing or composition. I think this lead me to enjoy the
aesthetics of a piece more than any other part. This comes through clearly in my favored past time: video games. Be
it the stylish and enjoyable classes of Team Fortress 2 or the unsurpassed mixture of comedy and film noir of Grim
Fandango, the little touches and the writing can take a great work of art and make it amazing. It can also smooth off
any rough edges that would otherwise make something less finished. More recently, I've thoroughly been engrossed
by Mass Effect 2 and been disappointed by Dragon Age: Awakening. It lacked the sense of style I was talking about.
Aesthetics truly make or break a piece. I try to capture the same feeling in my work, to give you something that just
stands out.

There are things you see every day, then there's something that you just hold on to in your mind.
