			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Often we come across many hurdles in life, and we, creative, resourceful human beings that we are, come up with beautiful solutions to overcome these hurdles. New challenges appear everyday, and instead of hitting &#8220;snooze&#8221; I am thankful for being alive.</p>
<p>As a freelance illustrator, I have been blessed with the ability to turn my passion into my career, and am always looking around every corner to see what good things may be coming my way. For a brief momement, I got lost in illustrating for others &#8211; as much as I loved and enjoyed the projects coming my way, I wanted to do more that excited my creativity. So I started a small clothing line called <a href="http://www.scotty-valentine.com" target="_blank">Scotty Valentine</a>. With this came new challenges, and it really put my brain to work as well as my creative juices. I discovered different facets of myself, and realized that I did have some limitations. But I was not discouraged and sought out solutions. Namely web solutions! I could come up with great designs, but how do I bring them to the web. And from that question I found my answer in the form of a wonderful partner in crime, Valerie. I was again hit with a new challenge &#8211; something I really looked forward to &#8211; combining our strengths to provide people with a unique and talented outlook for the web.</p>
<p>Everyday there&#8217;s a new challenge, a great way to experience more of life, to learn new things, to push yourself forward. It&#8217;s what I live for, my passion is for the challenges I find in design, in business, in marketing &#8211; it&#8217;s my life, what I know and love. My reason for getting out of bed.</p>
