I am currently unemployed. I was working full time and running my side business at the same time. I have been doing work for clients for about 9 years now, but it has never been full time. I use to be in a local rap group (maybe I’ll post an mp3 if someone asks) when I was about 16 and started doing cd covers for rap groups at the age of 18.

Since then I have done anywhere from cd covers, posters, logos and eventually web design all in the darkness of the night. Now that I was let go I have either an opportunity to get a job in the new city i am moving to, or try to launch my web/design business. In searching for ideas, resources and links I have found the following very helpful and did not want to keep them to myself.
