Hello and welcome to my homepage here at IMVU.

I'm a front-end web developer and artist by profession who's making a home here at IMVU to make some new friends, have some fun with the IMVU client and avatar system, and to take advantage of the creator program/developer's program and the networking aspect of IMVU to show off and polish my coding and graphics-making chops.

I currently offer these services:

+ Code [Homepage MNR] - minor homepage tweaking and code modification (adding in a box here and there)
+ Code [Homepage RMX] - complete custom single-page homepage coding (like mine)
+ Code [Homepage SITE] - complete custom multi-page homepage/homesite coding (iframes)

+ Code [Product Page RMX] - complete custom single-page product page coding
+ Code [Product Page SITE] - complete multi product page catalog coding

+ Code [Website ALL] - complete custom multi-page website coding (similar to the Homepage [SITE] option, except not on IMVU/hosted on IMVU)

+ Graphics [IMVU] - custom graphics to use specifically on your IMVU homepage (header/banner, contact panel icons, etc)
+ Graphics [STICK] - custom graphics to use as stickers on your homepage
+ Graphics [OTHER] - custom graphics to use on other web spaces (header/banner, icons, buttons, etc)

+ Art [FIG] - traditional media figurative artwork
+ Art [CALLI] - calligraphic artwork

And I plan to offer in the future:

+ IMVU [TATTOO] - tattoo designs for avatars

My artwork of late seems to fall into one of several different categories - figurative, graphic, or calligraphic.

Here, at IMVU, I plan to combine all three forms to create custom (and not-so-custom) stickers and graphics for homepages and posters and other similar 2D objects for the 3D IMVU environment.

For some examples of the artwork that I do, please feel free to click through my sample gallery below:

In regards to the type of code work that I do, I do one of two things - code overriding or coding from scratch - or a combination thereof. Exactly what I have to do and how much I have to do determines the categorization system (remember the [RMX] and [MNR] and [SITE] descriptions from earlier in my About Me section?) that I use for coding requests.

Modifying an IMVU homepage or product page in particular can be considered to be both a code override and a code-from-scratch project, depending on what a user may want displayed on their page. If a user wants code additions - for example, little text boxes in their 'About Me' panel - then that is a code-from-scratch request. If a user wants a layout like what is displayed on my homepage, then that is a code-from-scratch + code-override + custom graphics request. Obviously, different types of requests take different amounts of time and effort and the pricing will reflect that.

Here are some examples of my code work - code-from-scratch and code-override - to give you a better idea of just what I can do:

NOTICE: Being that my profession is that of a front-end web developer, it should come to no surprise that I have strong feelings in regards to the adherence to web standards and in regards to the writing of clean and valid code.

Experience after experience - both my own and those from other web developers - has proven that clean and valid code works best in terms of usability and cross-browser compatibility (though IE6 is always the exception to the rule and if you're using IE6, PLEASE consider switching browsers because it doesn't follow the current web standards).

Therefore, in the interest of creating homepages and websites that are as accessible, usable, and 'valid' as possible, I will lay down some ground rules here and now and state outright that there are some code 'hacks' I refuse to do.

PLEASE be aware of this before you request code work from me.

Tattoo art is a very special form of graphic art in that tattoos are (typically) uniquely symbolic to the person who gets the design inked.

I hope to one day be able to provide individual one-of-a-kind tattoo art for avatars in addition to tattoo artwork available through the general catalog.

I've got some mad respect for these two particular developers: Khymaera and Eden.

Khymaera's body jewelry (the plugs especially) is like a bolt of lightning - so vivid and vibrant in their coloration that it's electrifying. Honestly, if you've never seen the plugs - Cocytus Lazurite and Electric Baptism in particular - GO AND SEE. NOW. If I had my lobes stretched, I'd own her entire line of plugs and a choice selection of the body jewelry because they really are that gorgeous. Here's to hoping we can get the lobes done so we can get plugs for guys like me!

Eden's EDEN line of clothing (especially for the guys) is just something else. Perfect fit, unique styling, incredible detailing, and so much of it in black LEATHER. Damn. I own more than half of her clothing line for men now.

If you've been around IMVU for a while, you probably have a favorite credit reseller or two.

Now that I've been here a while myself, I have my own favorite credit reseller, too, and that credit reseller is:
