my blog.

I’m trying to keep myself pretty busy this month. I’m working on a few different things, including updating and refreshing my portfolio website. I’ve really let my site go too long and I’m very excited to be putting up some of the projects I’ve taken on this past year or so.

Recently, I have been working on a large format piece—a 6′x2′ banner for a local scooter club. I spent about 2-3 hours creating a vector illustration to use on the banner and this is the almost finished product: Read the rest of this entry »

Clip-art as a source of inspiration is not quite as ridiculous as it sounds. Generally when someone says or mentions using clipart I recall memories of school reports with awful illustrations of people and curving WordArt headers. But this Clip-art is much different. I’d almost rather call them illustrations than “clip-art”—they don’t deserve the stigma associated with the word. Read the rest of this entry »

This week is the last week of February which means Thing-A-Day (TAD) is coming to an end. I never feel that I keep up with my posts as well as I intend to. My creative mind gets overly ambitious and I tend to tackle projects beyond the scope of those that can be finished in one day. But I am still satisfied with the things I’ve done so far this month.

Valentine’s Day and Chinese New Year fatefully fell on the same day this year. In fact it seems like the entire weekend is an observation of several holidays what with our local Mardi Gras celebration happening on Saturday and Monday being President’s Day, also. I thought it would be fun to create a multi-holiday greeting card, so I settled on the two I considered the most fun and created this thoughtful lol-tiger-esque card just for kicks. Earlier I posted a sneak peak of

A sneak  peek if you will:

Valentine’s Day is literally around the corner, and I’ve been putting forth a good amount of effort to create a pair of Valentine cards. Today I finished with the one and in the style of the fashionably late, I should finish the second one on the day after Valentine’s Day. It’s the thought that counts, right?

I’ve been experimenting with origami recently, and while I enjoy making animals, especially birds, I think I enjoy making boxes more.  Perhaps it’s a latent, cat-like tendency of mine. Today I made a single sheet box with a lid made of flaps that fold into itself which ended up on my Thing-A-Day blog:

Life is still a little unorganized, and my time seems too slip away far too quickly. In other words, my excuse for still not posting anything is that I’m busy, tired and a little frazzled. However,

I started my new year off under the weather. The end of December was a whirlwind of moving and holidays and then a couple of days after Christmas I caught a horrible cold which is still persisting more than a week later. Today I finally discovered my camera so hopefully next week I’ll have some pictures of my current projects to share.

Hello… and Goodbye….

I have been on unofficial hiatus for the past month and now I’m taking off officially until the beginning of the new year. Things have just been too hectic at work and at home plus all the holidays that come around this time of year. Not that I haven’t been doing things…

A few weeks ago, I heard a podcast about google voice and thought it sounded super awesome. That thing that intrigued me second most about it was being able to have one phone number forever that I can transfer to any phone at any time. The thing that totally reeled me in hook, line and sinker
