Thanks! the retro style signs were a project for my day job, i work at a grocery store and painted signs for all the different sections of the store, we were going for a retro, 50's, route 66 kind of theme.
and as for geet, i try to steer clear of that guy whenever possible, nothing but trouble...
just kidding of course. geet has taken me under his wing and is more than happy to show me some of his tricks whenever i can make the trek out to his side of town. thanks!

I really like it, Matt! It is nice to see such a distinct style, I hope that you stand by it and further develop it. It will definitely set you apart from the masses.

Did you design the site yourself, or pay someone else to do it?
You might want to consider adding some META and relevant HTML content to your site. As it stands now, your site will never be indexed and picked up by any search engines, or if it is, won't rank high.
If you did pay someone - this is something they should have done and explained to you. If you opted not too worry about search engines, then it's OK, I guess. Some don't care about being picked up by search engines.
On the site, I'd like to learn a little more about yourself, and also, how they reach you button not kind of buried on the bottom. I didn't see it until I really went back and looked for it.

thanks dan! i designed and built the site myself and didn't even think about search engines, but thats a great idea, that will be next on my list for the site. i was also planning to add a little intro or bio page but just wanted to get this up for now. been handing out business cards for a few months with a website on them that wasn't there. i mainly just wanted a way for people to see my work. i wasn't quite sure about the contact button either, just put it there for now. i might make just make the letters a darker color. thanks for the input!
