Exactly. Fucking sheep everywhere.

"I've been itching to ask this question but didn't because I feel like doing both anyways, but I couldn't find a single web page answering this question from google so here it goes: Is it possible as a freelancer to be both a web designer and developer?"

Why not? If you love the fields and can understand the requirements, there is no problem. If a person known both the art and science of web, I feel it is really good. The only problem is that people always look for specialists in the web world. So if you want to work is both the fields, you have to become a specialist in both.

You can, but then you can use both your left and right hand to write - it's not an either/or scenario.

What about people like Dave Grohl - was a great drummer and now a great singer and can still do both.

Eric Clapton (guitarist - singer)
Phil Collins (drummer - singer)
Nuno Bettencourt (drummer, singer, guitarist, bass player, pianist)
Alan Titchmarsh (presenter - gardener - wanker)

Anyone can have more than one skill/talent

Wll he ain't my cup o tea but I can appreciate the talent and the usefulness as an example of the top of my heed. Most things music are heavily based on taste.
