  • It’s That Tax Time Again…

    Don’t forget to file your State of California Sales Tax, guys! One major benefit to focusing on freelance graphic design last year? I only had 4 transactions that had to collect sales tax.

    It’s always fun to fire up Google Analytics to find out how people are finding this site. One time, someone got here by typing “laser schwing”. Which of course is awesome.
