currently listening to: dirty laundry; bitter:sweet
currently craving: water

currently, currently: have i really not gone to bed by 7 am?

I AM HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE!!!! ta-da! my (official) online portfolio. you may call it my website, yes that is fine. click on me!! tell me what you think.

here is an oldie. this was the only thing i had up for a while. although i still like the design.

here is a REAL oldie. i think i spelled "dimensional" wrong? i may be embarrassed of that one...

my cargo account got deleted. it was such a great web-hosting site for artists, and its safe to say i'm PRETTY ticked i don't have mine any longer. you have to apply for an account to get one, and now you have to pay money for it? ughhhh. i'm cheap.

and i said i was done with my computer over sb...hah. real life; here it is.

throwing chapstick at a fan

currently listening to: no turning back, gui boratto

currently craving: a better movie

currently, currently: empty dunn bros cup

i just watched the informant, and let me just say, i had no idea what was going on, at any point in the movie. maybe if i took some finance classes, or a business class, or even knew anything about business i could have kept on track with the plot. maybe i am just part of a small percentage of people who couldn't keep up, but i had a perpetual crease in my forehead, the kind you get where one eyebrow is up and your head is turned to the side...you are completely lost and feel pretty dumb. well i admit it, all i knew was that someone was getting in trouble and i couldn't keep anyone's name straight.

to make up for sounding pretty dumb, i will tell you that i did start reading the secret life of bees, which i remember hearing alot of fuss over a schwile ago. i remember hearing about it being on some top-selling charts, or an oprah reading list of some sort, and i found it in my basement on a bookshelf. i really like how its written, so smooth and creamy-like. i asked my mom about it and found out it was made into a movie? i had no idea. back to feeling dumb again.

also, i am on spring break. my plan? try and stay away from anything that has to do with art. i mean it, i have an art migraine...i'm just left thinking, "well now what i am i supposed to do?" while scratching my head. so far, i have gone on a day trip to osceola wisconsin to look at a car, threw chapstick at a fan for an hour with kyle, accidentally painted my nails lime green, and got lost watching matt damon. i am perfectly ok with not having a real plan. a feeble, yet quite serious fist in the air to all you cancun-ers. so sorry no design posts, i'm sure you're all disappointed ;)

you know what i will share? a picture of my niece. i get to brag, and you get to read. tell me she is not a doll. she looks just like my brother...in a cute girlish way :)

i do hope that you love and appreciate the music of the talking heads. but did you know they made a concert film titled 'stop making sense' ? i just found this out and watched most of it online. i didn't even know what i was missing!!! david byrne is so crazy entertaining to watch perform, i was smiling the whole way through :D :D you'd be doing yourself a favor to watch this!!!!

steal, don't borrow

currently listening to: speaking terms, sui generis

currently craving: getting paid

currently, currently: tummy ache :/

found this pretty interesting concept while minorly stalking some band members, of a band that will go unnamed! the main point of this site is to "send and receive anonymous questions, and learn more about people you find interesting by following their answers." i know not having a twitter and deleting my facebook is very intentional. i don't want to have so much of myself exposed, although most of it is controlled by the user. however! for some reason, i was really intrigued by this concept; the anonymity of the questions makes it kind of exciting :) so humor me, and maybe ask me a question or two. i'll see how this goes for a little...

my latest design gig. here's a poster i made for a show at the underground with bands like take cover, all the right moves, hyland, and the avenue. i'm actually pretty excited to go to this too :)

here are a few images that have inspired me lately...do not be surprised if some elements are used in my new work! i once heard a wise artist tell me "good artists barrow. great artists steal." i can't help but to agree.

i loveee shapes!! now go, and steal away!! just not from me...:p

first glimpse of green moss today!!!! :] :] :]

HELLO SPRING!!!!!

gpoyw.

i saw this picture today, and the amount of time i spent laughing...!!!! ahahaha

and this!!! what theeee!!!

changethethought. i have gotten so much inspiration from this site. i don't even know what to call it, but it has errything from 3d graphics, to politics, to graffiti, to type. i love it, and am reluctant to share it, but its too good!

their poster series "type specimen posters" is really similar to what i'm working on right now! i like where they're going with these, & i want to see more. mine is the second one; not quite the same idea...but obviously both influenced by lawrence weiner, whether we think so or not.

designer nick tassone made these sweet stephen king poster series that i was immediately drawn to. i think he's pretty young, but i would definitely say up & coming! so sweet.
