Inspiration Book

This book has been a long time coming.
I've been saving any flyer postcards I could get my hands on, neatly designed stuff I came across and things dear friends have given me. Finally, I weeded out all the duds and put it all together in a binder that will come in handy when I have a block.

Here's the finished product- the cover of the promotional notebook for Amy's Bedroom. The logo was made by a graphic designer, Kara, me and Kara's mom. The background was made by Kara.

Isn't it awesome?

The evolution of Lipstick Girl

Back in '07, I designed "Lipstick Girl" for a T-shirt, and then used it for my junior art show. I got an email the other day from my good friend Kara, asking if she could use the image for a promotional item for a sex shop her and a friend are opening in China. Unfortunately, I lost the file in the crash of '08, but I was able to make what I believe to be a much better version. the colors are changed to match the logo.
here's the original, I only have a small jpghere's the new and improved. for doing it it one night, I'm mildly impressed.

Lesson of the day #2

Lesson of the day:
Be careful with your Starbucks gift card; Caramel Frappuccinos are impossibly orgasmic, but don't start a habit you can't support financially.

Lesson of the day #1

Lesson of the day:
Do not so much as eat a gummi bear in front of a homeless person. They will ask for your morning granola bar, and you can't not give it to them.

just a little something

for those of you who are curious, here is an example of what I have been working on at M+S.

What I wore 4.13.09

Jumpsuit- Marshall's ($16!)
flats- Old Navy

WOW! I had a day off of work! that is a miracle. I went to the movies with a friend to see The Haunting in Connecticut, which was pretty good. I had a fun time, it's been a very long time since I've done anything like that.
