James Piggott’s Summary
A freelance artist focusing on a combination of arts and technology. A nerd in the extreme, he's learned how computers, technology, and the internet can be used in combination with artistic skill to produce a unique style. He has a store of knowledge on social networking and internet communication, running a Blog for almost 3 years, and a website for almost 8 years. Recently, he's expanded his website count from one to several (an exact count can't be made at this point, as there are more coming) and expanded from a simple Blog to connecting tendrils throughout the internet's social web services.

(Arts and Crafts industry)
April 2008 — August 2008 (5 months)
I created a 19 page (plus cover) children's book for Virginia over the course of 4 months. This involved interacting with her on how the book would look, both the illustrations and the overall shape of the book, which is now shaped like the protagonist's head, a profile of a young bunny. The book is full color, two-page spreads, and highly detailed. It is slated to be published in 2009.
