August 31, 2009 - OK, so if we can all admit a basic truth that this site was mostly used by mom, to keep her up-to-date on what was going on. Well now that she has passed I need it to serve a different purpose, one of promoting my business. What that is right now I'm not sure, but I do know that I am now publishing photos through Google's Picaso web, so to see the latest photos you need to go to that site here. Additionally, in order to help thisHero Designs in the search rankings, I have a blog now, which can be seen here.

March 16th, 2009 - Just finished working on a site for Cornerstone Family Medical Group. As of right now it is still on the back end of my business site, check it out here!

March 14th, 2009 - Robert's 7th wrestling match, but only the second one I was taping. Unfortunately his team was going against the jugernaunt Oakdale Jr. High. In fact Robert's team only won one match, and it wasn't little Robert. But it is my quest to catch Robert on tape winning a match, so keep your eyes peeled.

OK, so Lil Rob joined up for wrestling about two weeks ago when he switched schools. On February 25th, he had his first wrestling match. Well he didn't win, but he was going up against kids who had been in wrestling all year, and we're are sure with practice, practice, practice, he will improve.

Mom's Visit - As all you know Mom came out for a visit, but because of her health we didn't do much. However on Friday night we got everyone together and went to dinner. Here are some pictures from that event.

Shark Attack - On February 21st, Barb and the girls and I went to a Sharks game where we sat in row 5, yeah row 5! We had a great time and the Sharks won 3-1 with all scoring in the third period, but it was great to be able to see their faces and all the action from so close up. You can see pictures here!

Rob & Pat's Wedding - Once again I know it's been awhile, but I'm very busy these days, anyways to keep this short, here is a movie of Rob's wedding, enjoy! Because of the size of this video I movied it to a seperate page, Click Here to view it.

Out Scouting for a Wedding Venue! - Go to the photo pages, Barb and I spent the weekend in the Santa Cruz/Capitola region checking out some venues. The photos are more of just the stay, no venues.

On the lighter side, I just finished up my beginning Photoshop class, and I'm pleased to say, this is the first class ever, that I received a 100%! Not just for a test or a project, but for the entire class!

Welcome to my digital world, a branding of sorts, for my freelance design services and personal endeavors. My name is Steve Craig and here in my world you will find 4 sections; 1) Comics - as a independent comic book writer/illustrator, you will find all the info you need on any current comic I am working on, past comics I have web-published, and the on-going work for my masterpiece, YSOV. 2) Steve Craig Design Services, a section for my graphic design services where you can view my portfolio or download my resume. 3) thishero/blog, where I rant about different things, mostly my comics or mountain biking stuff, but other news that I find and 4) a section for photo's, both for family and as a hobby.

If you're here looking for a Graphic Designer, or a Web Designer, you've come to the right place. I've been doing Graphic Design in the Modesto, California area since 1991, working for different print shops, publishers and different in-house Graphic Departments. I've been doing freelance Web Design since 2001, from simple personal web-sites to the more complicated Real Estate and e-commerce sites. The thing I like about web work is that seems like with every job, there is more to learn. Much more. Use the link on the right to visit my design site, thisherodesigns.com, where you can view my portfolio, find out more about my services and find my contact information.

On the personal side, I've been working on a Science Fiction Comic Book/Graphic Novel, for what seems like forever. I've always enjoyed reading comics, but not in the big-time nerdy way. I usually follow a certain artist or writer that catches my fancy, but not necessarily a certain character. Right now I'm really enjoying Tim Sale's work, but anyway, my comic is here, in limited form. I have some character bio's, backstory, and some sketches plus I've recently added the first draft of the story itself, take a look at it if you can.

And of course I have photos. Photos for family and friends of everyday life. Photos of subjects that I just found interesting. Photos of mountain biking trips. Like the title says, "photos, photos, and more photos". So if you want to see lot's of pictures click on over to the photo page and go through the different categories and enjoy!

So whether you're here in search of a graphic artist, or looking for some entertainment or maybe just bored, take a look around, and enjoy. Oh, and by the way, "Hi Mom!"
