A little About Roosl's Graphic Design
I originally began the graphic design part of this project during the Summer of 1996 as more a hobby than anything else, and as a fun way to provide services to people who are interested in graphic art, web design, and the evolving multimedia experience of the Internet. Man, was that early website ugly!
Forever grateful to God for His given talent, I have always been an artist of varying interests. Growing up, it was always pencil or pen on paper, drawing everything I could imagine or physically see. For several years, I spent my weekends attending what was then known as Memphis Academy of Art.
Skipping to recent years... As my career led me into Information Technology (IT), I've worked for the last 28 years involved in what has become.. well, the modern access and communication technology we all know and love today (even though one often wonders if it's really all that great anymore). During the last 10 years or so, this medium evolved to present itself as a whole new canvas for me. Hence, what you see and what has grown into Roosl's Graphic Design, also providing custom Windows software solutions, professionally approached.
While this site is fun, and serves as my creative outlet and personal communication to "the world", I was also serious about providing honest, quality and professional graphic art, software design services and site design. However, I've decided to quit selling services online. With some useful exceptions, the internet has devolved into an untrustworthy cess pool, trolled by lobotomized basal brainstems. If you would like me to do something for you, just ask.
You'll notice that I do present graphic content, and some are large images and animations. However, the primary purpose for this work and this site is to develop and display artwork. So, I hope you like what I'm doing here!
Other than this project, professionally, I am a senior IT individual with a background in UNIX and Software Configuration Management (Change Control), process improvement, task automation, Information Security, PC, Windows, HTML and graphic design. I have enjoyed small company environments, as well as large corporations in the IT field for 28 years. I maintain a copy of my resume here, and online at several resume banks/recruiter resources.

Of special note... Having organized and played in bands, I also provided web pages and designed logos for those projects. Understanding the aspects of bookings, promoting, and since that was so much fun, I will still offer special deals on graphic and site design for bands here. Musicians, and the proverbial struggle of the weekend warriors hold a special place in my heart. As a simple sample band page, here is my last band, The Pulse.
I am based in the paradise of beautiful southern Arizona (the Phoenix area).

When the white eagle of the north is flying overhead
The browns, reds and golds of autumn lie in the gutter, dead.
Remember then, that summer birds with wings of fire flaying
Came to witness spring's new hope, born of leaves decaying.
Just as new life will come from death, love will come at leisure.
Love of love, love of life and giving without measure
Gives in return a wondrous yearn of a promise almost seen.
Live hand in hand, and together we'll stand on the threshold of a dream.
