I like new media for the reason that it is free and available for all. The internet is such a vast universe full of knowledge and possibilities. It just depends on how creative you are in using it to your advantage. It also evolves because of random acts of kindness. I am all for continuous learning, eternal flow of creative juices and random acts of kindness, so I’m with the internet. Here are some of the work I’ve done in this field.
