about dsickles
I have worked as a writer, graphic artist and photographer in publishing, pharmaceutical and hi-tech advertising, performing arts, new and traditional media, and am now working in the non-profit world again.
In my "spare time" (and to keep my skills sharp), I'm some combination of freelance writer, photographer and graphic artist for Our State Magazine, WRAL.com, a handful of local newspapers, and private industry.
My favorite pasttimes are spending time with my family, hiking, golfing, gardening, art history, knitting and reading. I also have high hopes of becoming a successful novelist and seeing the world before I'm too old to enjoy it.

The squirrel is actually one of many that live on my property. I put seed out for them and the birds from November through March. They never miss a meal.
I also like Dirty Jobs, Mike Rowe is hilarious.

Knocked up has a pretty graphic scene in it too. So be prepared! But it's still hilarious!
