I write slice-of-life stories; sometimes I add fantasy or sci-fi elements, but I can't say I use them enough that I cater to people looking specifically for those genre. Writing-wise, I'm still learning and advice of any kind is appreciated. Visual-Art-wise, I am a master of all things photoshops (both avant-garde and post-avant-garde photoshops) and as such any criticisms will be promptly ignored.  To save you asking the obvious question, yes, yes I do do paintings on request. However please be warned: each piece takes hours upon hours of labour, and as such I will only work under conditions of reimbursement.  I prefer my payments in the form of slam-poetry, but I am also willing to accept original Haiku.

In all seriousness though, I really do appreciate constructive criticism more than anything else, no matter how big or how small. If a metaphor doesn't work, if I've repeatedly misused or misspelt a certain word, if you try your hardest but at the end a story makes no sense--anything at all; I would rather have hurt feelings than continue to make the same mistake.
