Since I seem to keep getting views on this page, I suppose I should say something.
Let’s just do the basics:
I hate:
Donald Trump, Steven Anderson, Jordan Peterson, Tim Pool, and many others.
I love:
Laughter, candle light, all shades of rock ‘n roll, my country, and my family. There are just as many other things that I love as I hate. Balance is the key to life.
“Man is the only animal that blushes. Or needs to.”
“If 50 million people say a stupid thing, it is still a stupid thing.”
“Tend your garden.”
“Dreams can be deceiving, like faces are to hearts.”
That’s Twain, Anatole France, Voltaire, and Fiona Apple.
I am a displaced hippie, a Buddhist, a historian, and have rather severe mental health issues.
I made this page out of anger. I used to love Photoshop. It was my thing, and I was good with it. Really good. And then I found out that roughly two years of my best Photoshop work was actually a part of a massive college textbook copyright infringement operation. The scale alone is staggering. In my time doing that work (200-250 textbook covers), I found a fair amount of pride in my ability to do the things I knew, and and my ability to learn special tricks for special occasions.
The people named on this page are the men who orchestrated and carried out this scheme, right up until they got caught. I haven’t opened Photoshop since it went to a subscription model. I don’t mind the sub, but Photoshop just isn’t mine anymore. I’ve moved from doing visual work and have begun writing. But not one day passes without the knowledge that I was part of a group of sleazy, slimy, wildly corrupt men who value money over everything. So, f**k ‘em. They get a page.
If this page continues to get new views, I’ll write here more often.
Take care of your loved ones, your family, and your friends. And keep an eye out for snakes.
