I am inspired right now by a few people . . .
Mary Lekoshere, who was inspired by Melissa Muth, has decided to blog one work of art daily during the month of October. I admit that I am jealous of her truly artistic abilities. Not only is she a fabulous artist, she has a way [...]

counting my chickens . . . February 27, 2008

I have a tax refund coming my way in just a week or so. I’m trying to decide what to do with the money. I have a whopping $229 that will arrive in my bank account, and I want to spend it wisely.
But I want to spend it.
On something fun.
And something for me.
[How selfish.]
Here’s the [...]

user error July 27, 2007

I am frustrated.
Not really over-the-top frustrated, just a little frustrated. I’m supposed to print as many books as possible between today and tomorrow lunch. My goal was to get 40 done. Looking at the amount of time it’s taken to print each book, that would tentatively take about 20 hours. I was hoping to still [...]

design. yum. May 24, 2007

And at this moment, I’m wishing I was at the National Stationery Show in NYC. My face is one of jealousy right now.
But ! I found some wonderful site that has great slides from the NSS. It made my face light up. Please partake. It’s yummy! From design*sponge . . .
Also, here are [...]

progress May 6, 2007

Change has always bothered me. I guess I’m a true fundamentalist.
Today marks maybe the biggest change yet. College graduation. I don’t enjoy the mix of emotions that goes with the day. It frustrates me to no end to be so excited about being finished with my formal school training (I hope to never stop learning), [...]

comprehension March 11, 2007

So here I am. Once again.
But I’m not torn into pieces.
My friend said something funny to me the other day. We were discussing Ann Coulter and we had a disagreement. He tends to become very intense when he argues (i.e., yelling, screaming, turning red and purple). So he yelled at me, “If you could comprehend [...]

.less March 4, 2007

That’s how I feel life is right now. Completely pointless.
I think it’s just the weekends that get me down. Other than that, I don’t have a lot of time to think. I think we’re at 63 days until graduation, too. That’s a frightening thought. At least I know what I’ll be doing for a few [...]

T5 Websites February 17, 2007

I have a MacBook Pro. In fact, I’m typing on it right now. I’ve had it for almost a week. Early graduation presents are the best!
I haven’t done a Top 5 in a while, so maybe I should do one again.
Hm . . . choosing a topic is the worst.
Top 5 Websites (and 5 extras)
1. [...]

Inspiration December 23, 2006

As a designer, I’ve constantly been encouraged by teachers to be more observant. To observe is to be inspired. Lately, I’ve been feeling a lack of inspiration in my work. I’ve struggled more than once this year trying to make beautiful things happen in my design. I’m losing the feel of freshness that I had [...]

Intense Hues December 19, 2006

I love being involved with art.
I’m in the middle of brainstorming a painting. It’s been in my head for almost a year now. I think I may finally have the time to tackle it during the break. It’s really more of a design on canvas than a painting. I still don’t know what I’m going [...]
