Busy....

Well, finals are over, Sketchie's book is finished (I'm dying in anticipation here), I just got another flyer finished for S&S, am working on Down Low Events (waiting on critiques), and I need some time to breathe. I took the cover off here after reading Sketch's blog, in which he said he wanted everyone to wait to see--I will respect his wishes on that one, I hope I didn't spill too bad--I will repost it when I get the OK. Since I did that one out of passion for the book and not for a paycheck, I forgot to inform him of the fine print in my contract, ie, I get to post it on my blog and/or website--oops.

Update: Sketch posted it! See the cover here.....

Fun project for S&S this weekend, I will post as soon as I get the approval on it. I am going to the Tampa food show with my good friend Kim this week, and I am planning on starting the Fumar website comps. Unfortunately, now there is this "price-fixing" thing going on, you can't discuss web design prices with your peers. Huh? How do new designers figure out what to charge? So I am grappling with that right now.....ah well. Time will tell, right?

Taking up space...

Okay, so I posted the book cover and now the links are covering it. Okay..... I did, however, finally update my website so that the "Journal" link redirects to here. I was having issues, the whole Adobe CS2 thing on an Intel Mac. I am also in the process of possibly rebranding myself (do beer bottles really have anything to do with graphic design?), and doing a website proposal for Fumar Cigars. Maybe if I can find the time I'll archive all the old journal stuff here, since I noticed that some of the image links weren't working. Hmmm.....

*rew blows raspberries at the processor and web design gods*

Been awhile....

Alrighty, I know I've been slacking, but it was for a good cause. I finally got my new computer! I have spent the last month transferring files, installing programs, and generally getting things the way they need to be. Lotsa work, but it's worth it!

On another note (something else that has kept me busy), Dr. Sketch's book is finally finished, including my part in the cover! He seems really happy with it, so that makes me happy! I can't wait to see it printed!!

In other news, there are personal reasons for which I have been AWOL; my grandfather isn't doing so well, and we have spent quite a bit of time in Georgia the past month seeing him. Also, all my friends currently have drama in a big way, and our house has always been everyone's escape hatch, so we've basically been running a hostel for everyone! Mary says everyone needs to get their sh*t together because we can't keep the darn house clean. I just need some peace and quiet, personally! But the last few days have been calm, no one around...let's see if it holds.
