Michael Estes, Freelancer at Self Employed in District Heights, MD

About

My name is Michael Estes and I love art. Ever since I got my hands on Photoshop 7 back in 2002, I've been on a steady path of expressing my creative with different designs and abstract art. I love to let my mind run wild as I make designs and with the right music comes the best focus. I get inspiration not only from music but seeing others works that inspire my work flow.

I am currently a Freelancer and take on commissions, and I have been doing this for 2003. I not only have done digital and traditional works but also video editing for plays, music videos and personal projects. Abstract art will always be my strong field of art, I just love when people see it they always have a different perspective of what they see from my art, its always refreshing. Storyboards are my new indulgence at the moment and story writing, you might even see a book written by me one day.
