This is my great buddy, Orhan.
He annoys me when I’m trying to work. He hates my art. He informs me of just how wrong I’m managing whatever the task at hand may be, and he’s constantly wanting me to go somewhere with him when I’m up against a deadline. What a buddy.
At least I don’t have a big nose.
I can’t complain too much though. He does drop by and keep me company when I’m in the 100th hour of a weekend project and listen to me gripe about absolutely anything.
Despite his annoyances, I have to hand it to him. He’s a great friend.
Here’s looking at you kid! I’m glad to know you.

The site once again is getting a face lift.
Seems I never can finish the site before I get tired of the design I’m working on. I believe this will be something like version 5… Maybe I’ll be able to finish it this time before I decide to scrap it and start all over yet again…
Maybe.
I’ve decided to change my approach a good bit this time around. In the past I’ve always not associated 3 a.m. Design Studio with me personally. My thinking was that it would be better for me to make 3 a.m. seem like a bigger entity than just me.
The more I considered it though, the more I didn’t like 3 a.m. being a nameless, faceless company… So welcome to the new 3 a.m. Design Studio :: Freelance Graphic Design by Chris.
There are many great new features in the works for the site, including online proofing for all projects as well as a blog for those of you who care enough to follow along in this adventure.
Check back soon, and often. I’ll also be posting specials that will only be availalbe through the site! Questions, commments… Smart remarks? As always, feel free to contact me!
Otherwise, enjoy browsing around the site. Keep in mind that it is a continuous work in progress and some features may not be fully functional at this time.
Thanks,

So what’s this “blogging” thing all about anyway?
People seem to get really addicted to it. There’s places to “blog” everywhere… Seems everyone has a lot to say and they all want the entire world to hear about it.
I guess that’s good. I figure I’ll give it a shot.
For those that may not know, a “blog” is a web log – an online journal. The concept has been around since the dawn of the Internet and has gained huge popularity in the past few years.
Online companies such as Xanga, MySpace and an army of others have been busy making it more and more simple for you to post your thoughts up for the world to see.
For what I want to do though, I’m going to abandon those services and make my own. Not that they don’t do a good job. C’mon, they’re wildly successful and popular for a reason… they work well.
For my purposes though, I’m just going to post stuff here. If you feel like reading it, great. If you want to respond, even better!
My goal for this page, however, is to provide myself with a way of “getting it out.” Yes, this page is therapy for me. For me, by me, about me. Get over it.
For the time being, I’m not planning on having a way to post reader responses, an archiving system, a forum or a host of other goodies that appear in other blogging communities.
That may change one day though, all depending on how this project fairs.
