"Everything leads us to believe that there is a certain state of mind from which life and death, the real and the imaginary, past and future, the communicable and the incommunicable, height and depth are no longer perceived as contradictory."
-- André Breton, Second Manifesto of Surrealism (1929)
A Little About Me:Artist and graphic designer in the process of forming a new LLC: Margaret Oliver Digital Design. Currently in training at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, online division and enjoying that quite a lot. There is a whole wonderful world of tools and technique I'm benefiting from learning about and able to apply directly to the business of being a designer.
Why Be a Deviant (Artist That Is):To meet other cool artists, see what all is out there from around the globe in terms of awesome are and creative ideas... and to learn about art-making processes. What is really cool is that many of us seem to be using the latest technology, tools, and techniques in a supportive community of content creators and that ROCKS!
Current Residence: Washington, USAMy Wish List...
