Hello David,
 
I just wanted to send you my congratulations! Congrats on being the rule breaker in this stiff world of Graphic Design. I graduated from Cal State University Long Beach in 2003. As a Fine Art student, I took the “emphasis” in Graphic Arts as a way to potentially pay the bills. I had a tough time in college, constantly fighting with my Vivacious Fine Art side against the Rigid Grid-lined Design side presented by Professors at the time. You became my excuse for putting type/design outside of the grid and therefore helped me find that balance between fine art and design. You incorporate both and you are very successful at it. I am very awed at the fact that you are able to retain your free flowing “aloha” spirit in your lifestyle and artwork. I hope to one day achieve this. Thank you for breaking the rules and for continuing to to what you love without self sacrificing your spirit.
