Graphicjer is a mysterious and enigmatic figure believed to have been born in the early 1950's and considered by some to be pivotal in the early efforts to turn the tide of the United States' compulsive materialism towards an appreciation of people over profits, relationships over riches, values over objects. Thought to have coined the acronym WOTAD, Worship of the Almighty Dollar, and its use in deprecating the uniquely American calculus monetizing all things, thoughts and events and of using wealth as the measure of all things. Argued for an expanded monetary valuation system where the hidden effects and subsequent consequences of economic decisions are somehow established, measured and included in the determination of the true costs of an object, process, program, goal or undertaking.

Fascinated by words and their usage and meaning in communication, graphicjer delights in attempting to create and insinuate new words into the popular lexicon, and often investigates the etymology of unusual words and their origin and use in English. Thought to have coined 'filmanderthal'; meaning one who still uses chemistry-based photographic processes to record visual imagery.

Also seems to have a higher than average interest in slide rules, machinist measuring tools, the art of product labeling, vintage office equipment and crows.
