Since October (when I had a stroke) some of the people closest to me have commented that my personality has made a dramatic shift. As I understand it, I am more of an asshole now days. I want you to know that I think I have figured it out. It’s not because I’m unhappy. I [...]

Anyone who has known me for a while or at least has read my tweets and Facebook updates knows how much it irks me that people will not return emails or calls. I can’t imagine that it is but the phenomena certainly seems to be geographically centered on Eustis, FL and the surrounding area. I [...]

I am considering dropping my personal Twitter account – @arronlock –  Twitter has become an endless network of spam and useless comments. Almost 2 years ago I fell in love with Twitter because it was an invaluable way of connecting with like minded people and conversing quickly about any topic. I used to be able [...]

So I thought I would treat you all to my top 3 list of favorite music videos. In no particular order… Slipknot – Wait and Bleed (Animated) I love the dark, gritty stop motion animation. It also tells a good story about the refusal of the band to be seen as  ”puppets”. Korn – Freak [...]

arronlock.com is back online! I thought it would be a good opportunity to vent for a few minutes about things I see on the interwebs that flat out annoy me. I see all the time when I visit a forum or blog post about some of my favorite bands. Some kid, yes, I am sure [...]

I found the very first pieces of “design work” I ever did. I knew I wanted to be a designer but lacked the skills or knowledge. These were done around 2004 before I went to school.

I wanna clear something up. I don’t care for stereotypes. Sure, I am just as guilty of pigeonholing someone into a specific “category” as the next guy. We all are. That doesn’t mean I have to like it. I am a graphic designer. I have observed a few things in the past weeks and it [...]
