Stand Up Guy
An icon for overweight middle aged bogun-geek web designers. A lego block in a Meccano world. A synergy of tattoos, memories of bare knuckle fist fights, and old episodes of Star Trek. My name is Steven Clark and I'm a highly opinionated web designer with a few good ideas. I'm too old for fist fights.
My photography blog Walk a Mile in my Shoes is back up and running. Due to bandwidth issues it's only one image at a time and not full text in the RSS feed. It's licensed under creative commons , meaning not for commercial use and you need to attribute, otherwise drop me a line via the contact form on this site.
You might also like to check out my links blog over at Nortypig.com to learn more about everything worth mentioning.
Currently I only have a static page for illustrations but if time allows I'd like to start another illustration blog.
