It has all of my best work on it, broken down into: Graphic Design, Illustration, and Photography. I hope you enjoy it, feel free to contact me or spread the word about my website.

I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree, with a concentration in Graphic Design, from California State University Fullerton. Hasn't quite hit me yet, finishing school and all. Once you do something for so long it really becomes a part of your life. I met some very unique professors along the way who have shared with me their wonderful insight to design. Now it is time for the real world and ideally some real money. Only time will tell.. Maybe I will pursue a teaching credential.. Who knows.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4355025778418461657-6143445491173834017?l=strossboss.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mike Straserhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02856849982128529832noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4355025778418461657.post-25510520035088551552008-11-26T13:45:00.001-08:002009-10-19T10:03:22.721-07:00The plan is to put this to great use in the near future.
