Welcome to the online portfolio of Reese Inman. I'm an artist and programmer who designs and develops vibrant, unique websites that are standards compliant and meet the needs and specifications of my clients.

The latest addition to the site is a stylesheet switcher toggled via the white and black buttons at upper screen right. Not perfect yet, but have fun checking out the work in progress.
