My skills mostly lean toward creative visual storytelling, namely drawing and writing, as I originally wanted to be a comic book artist. But since I've been "around the block" I'll have some sprinklings of food establishment manager; part-time cook; real estate/ financial newspaper researcher/ data miner; personal computer builder; English language tutor; and film director/storyboard artist. But it's drawing and writing that keeps calling, and I mostly keep answering, albeit always in a part-time capacity.
Beginning with the visual side of my skills, it’s traditional pencil, ink, paper, and sometimes, watercolor. "Above average" would be an approximate rating as those skills are my preferred media of expressing my creativity and originality. Digitally, my Illustrator skill is basic, Photoshop is on an intermediate level while my vectoring in Inkscape is above average. Output from this skill ranged from T-shirt designs, corporate logos, character designs, a few invitations, business cards, and editorial cartoons.
For writing I worked for three years during the '90s as a content manager/writer for a now-defunct local construction supply website. Work demands looped around summarizing articles provided by other construction news sites, producing short construction-related articles and compiling the week's news roundup for the site's weekly newsletter. On the side, I contributed movie and music reviews along with some editor-assigned music-related articles to a couple of local lifestyle magazines and newsletters. The final writing-related job I did was in
Currently I'm employed as a research director for a local real estate
I'm now having a creativity itch brought on by the periodic lull of these "pandemic years." Perhaps it's a call to finally shed off the part-time and stretch to longer fuller creative commitments, or it's some misdirected firing of my imagination that just needs to be scratched. Apologies for the swerve in thought. Going back, I'd like to offer my skills in your service. If you've got an idea, we'll try to tempt it, nudge it, kick it, or tickle it laughing into visual, or perhaps written form.
I've taught online ESL to Japanese nationals thru Rarejob for three months.
Ages ago I wrote a few features for a couple of local lifestyle magazines and newsletters. I also edited and did some ghostwriting for a local tourism site. Lately, I've done blog writing and encoding for Mr. Brian Beers. Also did a company profile write up and proofreading for "When Gourmet Hits the Streets'" website and portfolio. Both jobs were through Ms. Sara Paredes' Star Creatives.
I did content management for a few years for a local online construction site. It's a skill that hasn't been used in a long time so I'm quite doubtful of it relevance.
Did t-shirt designs for Nickelodeon's "Rugrats" via an Australian BPO. In the US, Brony t-shirt designs for ArtworkTee through Mr. Neil Wacaster. Recently finished a stint as a POD artist for Mr. Christian Timme. Locally, I did a number of shirt designs for streetwear brand OVRTHS / OVERTHOSE and i continue to be "artist-on-call" for the brand proprietor, Mr. Jose Paredes.

It's intended to help employers know who they're talking to is real, and not a fake identity.
I don’t really care which holidays they’re taking off or how they spend their days-off; as long as I am kept in the loop and made aware beforehand, that’s good enough for me.
