Absolut has one of the more well recognized and long lasting ad campaigns in history, and our assignment was to create an ad in the style of the artist of our choice. I choose Chuck Close because he is one of my all time favorite artists, and I'm extremely pleased with how well this turned out. :)
Makes school alot more exciting when things you turn are things you like.
Life is good right now, I'm really excited for the weekend, going to KC to see AJ and just enjoy a long weekend off :)

| this weekend was amazing :) i'm just bummed that its over now - I really had a great time this weekend and I wish i could have that all the time - not just a few weekends a month... that's kind of a bummer.
I think i'm needing to quit / move on from my job. Things have been increasingly rough there and I just have gotten to a point where I am dreading going in and it bums me out too much - I know that jobs are not all fun and games but when I started I thought I had hit the job jackpot. It was five minutes from my house, it was exactly what I thought I wanted to do - get to wear whatever I want, listen to music all day, just do what I love. Well that's how it started but then it got stressful because someone new had bought the business and business just was not running smoothly anymore. That changed everything, and honestly thing stopped being fun. There were either so many jobs that nothing looked great, or there wasn't enough to do and I was bored out of my mind. And now everyone is walking on egg shells, and things are just tense. I know my boss isn't happy that I have a school schedule to work around and i'm still 21 so I do have a social life on the weekends and occasionally want a day off... but that always causes problems because there's no on there to help do my job. I don't necessarily want someone else to work there, but at the same time it might be nice, but I think it would honestly put me out of a job. I think its time to move on to what?
Since starting in the printing design business all I have learned is that people like crappy looking design, and no matter what I think what the customer wants is all that matter - that's fine but it's still a challenge. I know I love doing design work, I just don't think this company is exactly what i'm looking for. But I'm really lost now though - keep with a job that I'm beginning to hate because it's "in the industry" with the chance that someone will come in and I will get let go... or quit now and get another job doing something totally unrelated to art - because I had bad days at the bank... but I liked working there because I felt like I had more of a balance in my life, right now all I am doing is art 24/7 it feels like - which I guess could be a dream but it's alot and can be kind of overwhelming.
I wish I had some solid advice about what to do about this job and school ... sigh.
Other than that though - I'm happy with life. I met someone I like and things seem to be going really well so I'm hoping for good things to come. :)

i love how colorful the new ipods are. practical art. i honestly think that's why I decided to become an artist - because the world needs more color and beauty in the simple designs of everything. in anything from package design to ad design - to even ipods. I feel lucky to be apart of that :)
yay for restful sunday afternoons.
