By the summer of 2006, I was pretty confident in my webdesign skills. It had been 2 years since I first opened Firefly Studios, my first graphics site, and my design tastes were beginning more and more to reflect my growing interest in JRock and visual kei. This was when I discovered Mija’s Malice. Right away, I was impressed with Mija’s designs and quickly applied to affiliate with her site. It wasn’t long before she invited me to design for Visual Fetish, a LiveJournal graphics community that was starting up at the time. Oddly enough, I had never paid much attention to LiveJournal and had no idea how to design for it. Luckily, Mija was there to help me, and I learned quickly. My career as a designer for Visual Fetish was rocky and short-lived, owing to some bizarre drama on the part of its main administrator. It wasn’t long before Mija, Hideko, and I broke off to start our own graphics community, Crazed System.

Admittedly, I don’t update Crazed System as much as used to. I do, however, still consider it (and more importantly, Mija and Hideko) to be my present life on the internet. Here’s to many more years!
