Additionally, I'm not taking any new clients for the time being. But when I am again, I will definitely get the word out. Thanks so much for all of your inquiries, and my apologies if you sent an email or a project inquiry and didn't hear back. Of course success is welcome and wonderful but it also means I only have enough hours in the day to do so much, and answering emails has fallen a bit by the wayside. Thanks for understanding!

I've worked with Moguldom on a total of six projects now and I'm pleased to report that their upcoming "The Atlanta Post" website will also feature a custom design by yours truly. Awesome.

I've also updated my portfolio with the recent work I've done for SoulBounce.com, the music blog I co-own and serve as Creative Director for. I designed all of the artwork for our biggest project to date, Men Love Mary: A Tribute to 'My Life', the music compilation we curated to celebrate the 15th anniversary of Mary J. Blige's My Life album. The CD features nine male artists, including my fellow Howard University alum Eric Roberson, re-imagining songs from what many consider to be Mary's best.album.ever. If you love quality independent music, download your free copy now if you haven't already.

A logo for "Delectable Dialogue", a nighttime talk show, has also been added to the portfolio. I'm currently working on the website for the show as well so look for that soon. I'll also be launching a blog for PR guru Marvet Britto in the coming weeks and a redesign of men's entertainment blog F-Listed is on the horizon, too.

It was a pleasure to work with her and I'm proud to say that I will also be the ongoing webmaster for the site. This is one of my favorite designs to date and I'm pleased to have the opportunity to maintain it. I have to thank my friend Angel over at Concreteloop for sending Lala my way.

First up, a logo for Stilettos & Sounds, an entertainment public relations firm that focuses on helping small businesses promote themselves in a "stylishly loud manner". Next up, the hip-hop website Hiphopwired.com, motto being "Just because you're from the hood doesn't mean that your mentality has to remain there. Smarten up!" I designed the site as well as coded the XHTML and CSS for placement in a Wordpress backend.

It was a pleasure to work on both of these projects. But always forward I'm moving, never backward (word to Nas), so the next projects on deck are websites for TV personality Lala Vazquez and hip-hop producer DJ Toomp as well as a redesign of Bossip.com, the most notorious gossip site on the net.

I can't promise I'll be updating this blog often, but I will do my best to keep the Portfolio up to date. If you're new to me and/or my work, feel free to make your first stop the About page.
