Nicholas, I used to work in a pretty intense creative design for business communications, but, your work go so far beyond that. This is a wonderful site and the creativity of what you have shared is an honor.

My pleasure.  When I was working - before this 6 year battle with cancer - actually, I only just stopped working while we fight off another form of cancer, I had to bring creativity in to telling a story through what are called General Sessions, at conventions.  That is when everyone is there to hear guest speakers, the top brass, and so on speak.  My team designed a theme, the sets, the lighting and audio design and so on.  Also, there was almost always a very big name for the evening concert.  I always like to have two stages in one room, but the one for the concert is totally concealed by fake walls.  They know something is up for the equipment I use when producing a concert is massive, but, most of the time they would think it was left over from another convention.

I had some of the best graphic artists, video directors, cameramen/women, and lighting and sound directors.   And, really solid associate producers.

So, I got to learn a lot.  For my clients I was the commodity they were buying, but my biggest talent was bringing in the right talent for the right project.

I miss that.  So, when I saw your site, I was looking at the designs and while you may not have had stories to them - maybe seen something, kind of cool, then just as an inspiration, make something that totally is great.  I am a strong believers that many of us are story tellers and whether or not you intended it, I can make stories out of some of the really great work on the site.

Thank you for sharing it with us, I mean that.
