Answers from Shawn

If you could choose, what city would you most like to live/work in? Why?

I'll be relocating to Seattle for abundant snowfall, my longtime girlfriend who recently relocated as well, good skate parks, mountain biking, road biking, rock n' roll music, the thriving art scene and more opportunity to produce good artwork.
