About
Welcome
My name is Liz Valentine, also sometimes known by the moniker Mad Rabbit Media. I will be adding regular examples of my work to this site and detailing my educational achievements. I like digital media and rabbits (and to no less a degree, guinea pigs). Indeed, I have been known to combine the two, producing what can only be described as FHD (fluffy HD).
You can find me or contact me/peruse my bookmarks via the methods listed below. I don't always say a lot. One day I will get a fully featured smart phone, and then all will run for cover to avoid the verbose torrent that shall be unleashed... right after the plague of locusts.
