My name is Zachary Woomer and I’m a lowly(about 5′10″), old(not really) designer/illustrator of sorts…all sorts. A jack of all trades you might say, and a master of none. My passion has always been in the arts and when I realized just loving art wasn’t going to pay the bills, that’s when I turned my innocent blue eyes to the wonderful world of design. I graduated from the Antonelli Institute of Art in 2008, and am now free to take on the world by storm. Soon after school I was picked up by a company by the name of United Bank Card, which was the start of my passionate love affair with web design. Now I continue to sally forth in the world of web design working in Wilkes-Barre, Pa. for a small agency known as MLB Advertising (not “Major League Baseball”). From the time of my education to now, I’ve learned all there is to know about front end web development, XHTML, CSS, SEO, JavaScript, Adobe Creative Suite and print design. I’ve also dabbled in ASP and PHP (these are not drugs). But, making things pretty is what I live for, so without further ado I give you my site. All the work featured here is completely designed, built, coded and thought of by me. So check it out and feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have (or work). Enjoy!

So, I’ve been busy. Trying to illustrate a graphic novel, freelance work, agency work, hookers*, the usual. Just click the banner and see some new art. Go ahead, I dare you! No, you!
* not really
So, my plans for this site, as of now, are a re-design and complete change to the function of the site. Firstly is the whole CMS thing. Currently my site is running on WordPress, which I have no problem with. But, at work, all the sites I build are for a CMS called Textpattern, which is a hellofalot easier to use in my opinion, from a coding standpoint. It’s like comparing learning how to play the piano to learning how to play the nose whistle. So, when this new re-design happens, I’ll be migrating to that CMS rather than spending any more time weaving through PHP. It will be a momentous occasion. Mobs of exceedingly attractive women with low standards will sing and dance in the streets, the sky will rain fresh brewed Yuengling Lager and doves will cry like in that Prince song.
Basically, I want to sell my artwork on the site (and the graphic novel whenever that exists), I want clear guidelines for my freelance work as far as pricing and what not, and pretty much make the site gorgeous looking. As it is right now the site just serves as a basic blog and an online portfolio of sorts. But that’s Busch league. I’m going to clean the poos out of my diaper and put on my big boy pants, and awesome-up this turd herder, steam pile, thing. Until I finish the re-design and have my new site ready to go, I won’t be updating this site any more. I just need to sit and get it done. Do it live. Check back whenever you like, because it will eventually be finished. Then you can feel free to buy things from me, and pay my mortgage, and maybe massage my feet.
