Hey there, I'm Ari. I'm a 21 year old Art Director in Simi Valley, California. I recently interviewed in Seattle for the rollout of Microsoft Windows Vista and Office 07 and even more recently here at Amgen. I like it when it's cloudy and rainy, there's too much sun here (these UV rays deplete our youth with time). I like to snowboard. I go to school at Ventura College after dropping my computer science major from UCSB. I'm pretty insane most of the time, I change my mind and pretty much live for the moment. If I have $40 left in my pocket, I'd spent all of it gambling, going out to drink or on gas to Mt High. I like cool gadgets and shit like that. I want a girl with a short skirt and a long jacket. I like to travel, but still havn't left North America. Lots of cars over the few short years, I made a blog list, check it out. I have a lot of interesting stories and it seems like I always get myself into some kind of off the wall situations, it's entertaining. I get bored easily when I'm not hanging out with people. I'm tring to be as whitty as possible here, but it's not working. I wish I could be a more creative writer, that would be great, girls would flock towards my genius, yes, that's it. I'm 21 now, shit I'm getting old. Write me, comment me!

Well, I figure it's time to get ye ol' portfolio on the net. I scanned in one of many pieces and uploaded to flickr. Tell me what you think, it's pretty frank and to the point, looks really boring and flat, but I guess flickr is maybe more for people searching for ideas …
