Oh no! My name!
There are a lot of people in the world who's names get spelled wrong. I've accepted that it is going to happen to me. With all the variations like Elliott, Elliot, Eliott, and Burn, Burns, Berns it is easy to get confused. It seems that I understand you're trying to get to my name: Eliot Bern.
I guess it doesn't help that culturally my first name seems more like a last name and my last name is a city - or sounds like a verb.

When I clock in..
I work as a graphic designer for Elliott Wave International.
It's an excellent job and they provide tea.
When I clock out..
I spend most of my time with my family. I have an awesome wife, Emily, an excellent squirt, Jacob, and a little baby girl, Jones, on the way. This is also the time I spend working on side projects. Be it yours, mine, or my wife's.
My hobbies revolve around music, illustration, photography, cooking, and the occasional video game - bang, bang.
In the past..
My concept of what XXCIV was going to be, wasn't as clear as it is today. I thought I would graduate school and keep a dead-end job, while I made art on the side. Somewhere along the way I caught a break and was able to leave the toy department in Wal-Mart (which was an excellent job) during my junior year of college and work for myself. Though technically I worked for a lot of people - the important part was that it was on my terms, using my skills.
