SCRIVEN. . . JAMES SCRIVENI’m looking for a job that is as much of a lifestyle choice as it is a career choice.
A workplace that is a state of mind, not a place at all. A place where art and design bridge the gap between nature and the environment.
Preferably in the mountains.
SUMMARY // A random collection of shot's I have taken over the years. All on a Canon 20D. Locations include Lake Tahoe, Truckee, Phoenix, Tucson, Sedona, Mendocino, the Anderson Valley, and little bit of mountain biking in both Arizona and Truckee/Tahoe.

WELCOME
Here's the story: I'm an open minded, artistic bearded mountain yeti born in England, raised in California and here to make things look good.
A little bit of school at the University of Arizona (as well as Lacrosse), some bar tending, and coming to a crossroad in my life that would lead me to San Francisco and the Academy of Art University.
The city was not for me and I packed up and followed a calling to Lake Tahoe. Didn't quit school, just challenged myself to pursue the same degree online and living in a healthy and outdoor oriented environment.
I've been labeled as creative, a term I've tried to create my own meaning for. I see the world in two ways. First as my playground, and secondly as a a mixture of good and bad design. I consider myself as diligent, creative, and a daring individual who beleives in the power of great design.
I believe that graphic design has a job and that job is to communicate with concept, efficency, and that it must meet specific goals. I believe in this type of work and I instill it in every facet of my design.
I'll turn my head if you mention bikes, skis, boards, mountains, snow, pow, digging, environment, green living, cooking, and farming.
I currently spend my time in Truckee, California working as a freelance graphic and web designer. If I'm not behind the computer I'm either mountain biking, snowboarding or skiing, digging, cooking, or trying new things and inspiring others to do so. That's almost all of it for now.VERBAL VOMIT
WHAT'S ON MY MIND
Winter is here, got my slide on last weekend. Best turkey every for Thanksgiving. No pics but here's what went into it or on it. . . sage butter, fresh poltry seasoning, wrap that sumbitch up in bacon, then drape a cheese cloth that's been soaking in white wine and melted butter over the bird. Fill up the roasting pan with about 2.5 inches of chicken stock. Baste between beers from the remaining butter and wine mixture, as well as the chicken stock.
