Articles and Blogs

When I am not working on freelance jobs, I can often be found writing. I blog regularly on http://www.redgage.com and I write articles for http://www.helium.com.

I write on the following topics: Art, Philosophy, Food & Drink and Travel, I blog about anything that is running through my head.


Also you can check me out on blogger at: http://dsparanoillustrations.blogspot.com/
for slightly more detailed updates on what I am doing and working on, as well as all the wonderful multimedia accessories it offers.

Finally I have just started another blog to chronicle another passion of mine: Food. It is a weekly blog that gets updated every Sunday night. You can read it at http://journeythroughfood.wordpress.com
