Who Are You?

Carl Dalman

Known Aliases: SCOm1359AP, The Watcher, William Marcellus "Wally" Wallace, Chunkymonkey Bingwalla, et cetera

Who designed your site? It looks... yeah.

I built it so I'd have a place to put my portfolio online besides deviantART. Don't get me wrong, I love dA and what they do for the artist community, but there are times I need someplace a bit more professional (I said 'a bit', I know it's still kinda... yeah).

How long have you been doing this?

I've been drawing since I was four, but I began concentrating on graphic design and illustration when I started college in 2003.

Speaking of which, where did you attend College?

I got my Associates of Art at Tulsa Community College, then transferred to University of Science and Art of Oklahoma to finish my Bachelor's.

What media do you work in?

I've experimented with as many things as I could get my hands on, but my favorites are Photoshop and Illustrator. For a more complete list, check my resumé.

Do you accept commissions?

Of course.

Will you work for free?

Probably not, but It can't hurt to ask. Who knows, it's possible a deal could be struck.

What are your rates?

My rates start at $20 for a 8.5" x 11" single figure pencil and move up from there. They're covered in depth on the Commissions Page

I notice a few similarities between your site and someone else I know. Any Comment?

I'm still new to web design, so a few things are borrowed from around the net. Coding doesn't allow much room for creativity and if I see something I like and don't know how to do it myself, I copy it. Learning by Immitation.

Who is Wally?

Wally... Essentially, Wally, he's me without the Conversational Filters. He arose as a way to deal with the tedium of working at Wal-Mart (hence the name) while I was in College. I have a low tolerance for stupidity, and so Wally became as a way to vent my frustrations without getting fired. I like to think of him as what Calvin might have been like when he got older.

He's violent. He's theraputic. Everyone needs a Wally.
