I'm a graphic designer, signbuilder and sometime freelance illustrator. Mostly now I do design work but I do still occasionally get my hands dirty in the shop.

Here's a few of my projects that I have photos of.....




The top isn't on the sign because it had to be transported in sections. Also, it wouldn't fit in the building.  :D



I also build lots of models in my spare time.

I am working on designing some material engineering projects for a couple of grant proposals while on a bit of down time (waiting to teach college courses starting this summer).  I had some chemical ideas that I have been letting stir on the backburner for the past few years and I think that it is a perfect time to put them to use (ie. they involve the areas of energy development/conservation targeted by the recent stimulas package).  One of them might be a starting point for a business venture, as I have one person wanting to do investing in that area aready.  Alot of my spare time is devoted to working on either designing new chemical materials for their properties or trying to solve all types of real-world problems..... 

My field of science is very hard to get employed into industry right now, as the previous layoffs in the chemical industries have left little openings for the less experienced guys.  The government is hiring, but alot of others are fighting to get the same job.  A lot of universities/colleges are undergoing hiring freezes right now and want incoming professors to bring in grant money for their research programs.  The problem is that you can be very bright, but amoung a lot of other very bright individuals, you must shine brighter than the rest to get that position.  A Ph.D. does not guarentee a job anymore, you need 3-5+ years of specific experience in the area that the company/agency/college is wanting to expand in.  But, it is a catch-22, as you need the job to get the experience to get you the exact job.  Most Ph.D. chemistry graduates are forced into low-paying, all-hours postdoc positions to start out with, but even those are hard to get anymore (not to mention the compatition from overseas).  I am a bit better off than most recent graduates, as I planned on this type of thing potentially happening when I got out of college and have acted accordingly.....

I am a litigation attorney, eligible to retire in 4 days. Subject to abuse 24/7.  But I had honest jobs before this one.  Utility Operator at a coal fired electricity plant, mechanic at a pvc plant, mechanic at a big linen supply plant.  At least in those jobs I could flip a switch and find out if my work worked.  Kim
