"So who's behind all this?"

I'm someone who's always had a healthy love for the creepy, the mechanical, and fractal art. I never really thought much about selling any of my fractal works until I had a number of people ask if I had, or intended to. It was a thought I never put much mind to, but over time (and after hearing it enough), I figured "Well... Why the heck not?"

Of course it's more than just business, to me; my motivation also revolves around peoples' feedback and thoughts. While I can't please everyone, I can still take things into account. Whether a good or bad thing to do, I will admit this is my first foray into anything business-related. However, I'm not someone that likes to do things half-assed. That quote down there sums up my exact attitude on everything in life, not just business. It's a quote I strongly believe in, right along with honesty and integrity.

"Anything worth doing, is worth doing right."

"Where'd you get the store name?"

The name is pretty much a direct, two-word embodiment of me and my interests.  They say your store name should fit not just you, but what you're selling and what you're about.  As well as this, it should be unique, memorable, and easy to type out.  "Cryptoid Engine" was what I settled on after a surprising amount of self-examination (that included about four or five pages of writing.  I kid you not.).  There was a "the" at the beginning, but I didn't like the verbal feel of that.

The original store name was going to be FracAttac (referring to fractals), but then I had the other ideas I wanted to incorporate, such as the background above, and a number of designs.
