Girl Friday Graphics

Recently, I got a great lead on an actual gig. WOO. Helping a very nice lady design a logo and some other marketing materials. Great experience for myself and my portfolio, and a wonderful opportunity to finally go and get myself working more as an independent.

You gotta start somewhere...

Pay it Forward!

(how can I resist the opportunity to MAKE stuff for people?)

Random acts of kindness have turned into little gifts for you. A great opportunity to pay it forward.

The first five (5) people to respond to this post will get something handmade by me.
This offer does have some restrictions and limitations so please read carefully:

1. You dun get to pick what it is...it's a SURPRISE! <3

2. What I create will be just for you, with love, because I love all of my friends...

3. It'll be done this year (2009-probably after we finish moving).

4. It will be made with my two little hands. You ARE allowed to tell me three of your favorite colors.

5. I reserve the right to do something strange-I like strange.

6. In return, all you need to do is post this text on your blog and make 5 things for the first 5 to respond to blog. (So obviously you have to have a blog. If your blog is private, tell me so in your comment and I will trust you. Alternately, you can post this on Facebook instead - my own rule change!)

7. Send your mailing address - after I contact you. (Be sure to include some sort of contact info if your blog profile doesn't link to your email or blog.)

IMPORTANT: This offer is null and void if I do not see you post your own blog to pay this forward.

beginnings...

Did some serious work today, as the new banner for my blog give evidence to. I still have much to learn in the way of vectors... but I feel that I am gaining a great deal more understanding of the way in which Illustrator works these days.

Despite feeling as if some small cold has sapped all my strength and energy this weekend, we have managed to have a lovely time. BBQ with neighbors later and perhaps, if I am very lucky... a bit more writing.

Passover....

Tonight, is passover.  It's also a full moon.  I don't know that I buy into the whole full moon theory, that folks go mad the night of a full moon, but things do seem to get wacky time and again.  

I find myself feeling a bit empy and vague tonight.  I really want to draw, but don't think that I'll have the time to even work in a small drawing.  There is much I want to do, I don't feel entirely great, and there is limited time in the day.  

But...I will try to persevere it, as my Bossman likes to say.  After all I've been through in my life so far, I should be able to handle this.  

So I'm off... and this posting is brief...there is a closet to put back together and laundry to finish before the love of my life comes home.
