bLINK *fRAID
You know that feeling you get when you are so afraid that either you can't look or you can't blink in fear of something changing before your eyes? That fear of moving past what you know you are now and what you could become later if you tried? Don't be afraid to blink. Somethings are meant to happen.
EVERYONE knows college life is fake. But this, this is my real life interpretation of it all, in blog form. It is also a recording of the projects I am working on and my timeline of learning what it's like to be an actual graphic designer, comic book artist, and an animator.

Well, I did just totally bomb my Symbolic Logic class, so I guess this follows. I’ve always thought of myself as a selfish person over being a social one though. Hmmn. Also, I think Spatial should be lower, because I have impaired spatial recognition and therefore I fail at things like not running into walls, telling how far away things are from my face and constructing 3D-objects in my mind.

Well, that was interesting to say the least. I like to think I am quite good at spatial recognition…so it’s kinda funny that I actually did well in it. The body and movement and the logic things are a bit odd though…Not because I think I am better at them, but mostly cause they basically had to do with can I move well or do I like math. I don’t prefer running, but I was getting pretty decent at long jump before I stopped doing track in high school. *shrug*

Nobody’s immune to breast cancer. Ace idea out of DDB, Maputo, Mozambique. I love playing on the thought that everyone thinks it won’t happen to them, and using icons to convey so much of that insight.

Blue Ringed Octopus
My inspiration. My love. My…anger? I swear…the thing is coolest when its angry. No really. It’s the only time the rings are actually blue.
bLINK~ A Little Guilt
So…I went through my old posts…reminiscing if you will, and dug this up.
I have decided that I need and I do mean NEED to create somethings and start working on doing actual stuff with my blog. I start this post promising to create one thing a week! I will design one thing a week! And I will learn one thing a week! And I will post it here, every Friday till school starts for me
I am quite, quite ashamed. I never got to do anything in that entire post, let alone this. I’ve found that the more I space out creativity the less likely I am to do it. I used to think back then “everyday is too much pressure!” but then fell into “once a week is plenty of time…right?” and that wasn’t a solution either. Being unemployed for these few weeks has been pretty lax. Not too hard…not too difficult. If anything, I just feel like my part of the world has stopped spinning and the rest of the world continued full steam ahead.
I’ve had a lot of time to think about who I am and what it means to have a future. After the big let down that was the United States Postal Service, I kinda feel like I don’t want a job. I don’t want to work. Not that I don’t want to make money or that I even feel too lazy to work. I just…don’t want to work for the big corps anymore. My last two jobs were the post office and Panera Bread. They both have HORRIBLE bedside manner. I still can’t say many nice things about either of them, even if I might be getting my postal job back. I can say that Panera has AWESOME sandwiches and that the USPS is lying to you the LEAST between the three big delivery companies.
So after surfing through many an inspiration blog, I found myself back at Smashing Magazine, checking out what they had to say. I even went to Core 77 which is quite far from my work related interests, but still interesting at the least. From both of them I found suggests of designing every bit of your day, to designing something everyday for a year…which is what I should have done in the first place. Now, I go back to the original post I made. Create. Design. Learn. I don’t know if I can do ALL of those things a day, but designing something once a day just might be refreshing enough.
I also read a nice bit of advice on Core 77.
Buy a Camera
If you’re not serious about documenting your work from the get-go, don’t even go to school. Hell, don’t even read this feature. Okay, you can read this feature, but then go buy a camera. A good one. You know, with f-stops and everything.Seriously, you’re spending like $75,000 on this education; surely you can spring another $600 to keep a record of it.
I found this kind of ironic. I was given a camera a few years back. It’s no DSLR, but it was an unexpected pick up for my day. I’ve only used it a few times since I got it…but…maybe it’s time to buy film for my little Pentax slr. Or maybe I should just go ahead and buy a new camera…not like I am not signed up for a photography course in the spring anyways.

Laptop is Ukkonen, Mouse is Tuuli and the external HDD is Poptart.
My laptop’s name is Nebula, a kin to the swirls that came with it’s original chassy. My tablet’s name is taboo…since it has wireless appendages
