About me:

Chad Savage is a dark artist, designer & entrepreneur; Sinister Visions inc. is his company. Whether you realize it or not, there's a 99.9% chance you've already seen his work, most likely in the form of the (FREE!) fonts he's designed, which now appear pervasively in the horror/gothic/industrial sections of your local music, book and video store, as well as movies like The Covenant and TV shows like Bones and The Search for the Next Elvira!

Sinister Visions inc. is a design studio that specializes in spooky subject matter and dark design. SinisterVisions.com has been on the web, in one form or another, since 1997. Chad Savage / Sinister Visions inc. have been producing dark art & dark visual design since 1989.

Sinister Visions inc. offers a full range of graphic, illustration, art and web design services catering to the darker industries. We target smaller- to medium- sized companies to allow more personal involvement in projects, and to allow smaller budgets a more professional flair.

IF YOU WANT TO CONTACT CHAD SAVAGE / SINISTER VISIONS

Who I'd like to meet:

Monkeys with chainsaws, zombie jazz men, and other entertaining entities. Basically, I'm interested in MySpace (or any other service of this nature) as a means to network, meet people with similar interests, and keep up with existing friends.

I will not automatically add anybody that sends me a friend request if I can't see a good reason to do so. Don't get me wrong - I'm open to talking to new people. If, however, you're just trying to bulk out your friends list, first, GET A REAL LIFE, then please don't bug me. Also - if your profile doesn't actually SAY anything, about YOU, then don't bother.

If I've sent you a friend request and you don't know me, it's either because:

1. You don't remember me. It happens.

2. I'm familiar with you and like what you have to say or what you do, and would like to stay informed about what you're up to

3. Your profile was so cool I just couldn't help myself

I don't judge friends based on friends lists, so I won't take it personally if you decline.

IF YOUR PROFILE IS SET TO PRIVATE AND YOU SEND A FRIEND REQUEST WITHOUT AN ACCOMPANYING MESSAGE, THE REQUEST WILL LIKELY BE DENIED. After all, I'm not psychic.

    Zombies are taking over Downtown South Bend! Friday September 4th is the date of resurrection! Come out and join hundreds of zombie enthusiasts as we stumble around looking for the life of the party! All zombies will rise from their grave or tomb and congregate at Howard Park in South Bend. The Zombie Walk will begin at 6pm. And remember, if you're not with us YOU'RE FOOD!!!!

    We are encouraging those intending on participating to bring non-perishable food item/s to help benefit the Northern Indiana Food Bank.
