So, the delta chi fraternity called me up after hearing that I do vector work and wanted me to do their spring 10' rush shirts. Super excited just to have something artsy on my resume. I am not sure what the quote on the back means other than I think it is from the Wu Tang Clan, but hey, work is work.
