Thank you everyone... I don't want to do this just for me but, for those that I have impacted positively. It is heart warming for those to see my work and be inspire, I think that is what my work should be. I want to see people grow and explore just as much as me. We can all learn from one another. I am original and I know it and no one call tell me other wise. I think before I lack confidence in my work and always doubted my work. Not just as a designer but, as a person. I think I finally realized I am a hodgepodge of many abilities either sketching, branding, typography, packaging, illustration or print. I don't think a break is really need to realize that. I have a drive and I want to show everyone what I am able to do. This is the beginning...
For those that have accused me, nothing I can do will change your feelings or thoughts and for that I am sorry... I am really really sorry. I do admire your work and look up to you but, I deserve to be here just as much as anyone else. I have never said anything negative or went out of my way to accuse someone if they have by some chance "borrowed" ideas. Isn't that how trends, styles, movements of art, design or whatever have started. I quote "Every artist of every stripe builds on that which was done by his or her predecessors. It's only the great artists who manage to take things to new heights, in new directions." (Shelley Esaak) Which I believe, I am trying to find my voice which I think I am. If I have fell of the path I am sorry but, I am only human.
You all are entitled to one 100% percent in what you believe, say or think. I think. I believe I have done nothing wrong but, doesn't mean I shouldn't give up. I want to prove to myself and show or change what everyone else thinks or believes. Not because I am wrong but, to show I have more to show. Just know I had the purest intentions and if I can fix this, I will. I'm not about ego or frame or recognition. I could care less I just want be part of this community and grow with everyone else.
@Richard, Kyle and Kurt: Thank you guys for the support and comments on my work. I only have love and no hate. I serious don't want to cause conflict anymore nor do I want to tread on same subject. I want to move on and just get back in my groove. Also, I hope I can mend hard feelings or at least hope people understand I am sorry. I'm all about love, peace and respect... Thats it.

Man I love you guys... I mean it like bears on honey....
I really think I just need to really explore and show what makes me, me and what makes me different form other designers.
And, in time, I really hope I can make things better because I care and I rather not have haters hate. "Its all honey baby"
