The Nikon D3000, Yeah, thats the spot.


This post has nothing to do with graphic design, web design or anything even involving a computer. This post is a solute to my new camera, the Nikon D3000.
Dear Nikon,
You rock and I love you. Really, not just like, LOVE. You were worth every penny my cheap ass scrounged up and painstakingly debated spending on you. I can't image what life would have been like if I had continued on without you.
Forever and always yours,
Me.
But seriously, the image quality is great. Its easy for amateurs (like myself) yet, it can be the camera for the veteran picture taker. I may never enjoy the smell of chemicals processing in the dark room again, but I believe this camera will help me survive that devastation somehow...
(The pics shown were taken in the kitchen on the stove right after cooking. Nothing special, just point and click. For more information on the juicy delicious Cajun Turkey Burgers go to http://passthesushi.com )

Quick Pic 2

I'm waiting for a few projects to pick up, enjoying the sunshine and warm weather, and debating starting a new site for another project/hobby I am into (where I'll get the time to complete said personal project - who knows).
Enjoys today quick pic. I saw a screen printing kit with something similar and wanted to make my own version if it today.

Letting the Paint Dry


Let me just tell you, I am not good at painting my nails. Oh well.
I just saw Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. I am not sure I liked it or not, which is kind of a weird way to feel about a movie. It wasn't annoying in the way I found Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. It was entertaining and not gory. It told the story as I expected it to. The costumes were neat, the scenery awesome, the special effects just ok. What does amaze me though is how Tim Burton must see the world. I think the colors he thinks in are different. I think most creative people do see the world differently. Turning random ordinary things into inspiration. Ask me about a box and the word brand some other time.

This weeks image is brought to you by hopefulness. I kind of randomly posted on a singers blog who I adore - I know crazy. They have people for these things but here's my vision - minus the cowboy hat. I hate the hat. I would love to have an image of a not named country singer here and some more embellishments to make it a little more feminine. I wanted to get the over all idea up here though.

Not much going on.


This week I've been working on posters for Free Comic Book Day, brainstorming for Silhouette Graphic - it needs a freshening up, and doing some quick mailers and business card design for Kellys Lawn Care.
I'm not sure I'm digging the new header image, but I do know that I like the idea. I just have to figure it out.

4 day stress package

I think if anyone were to think I sat on my booty and did nothing I would punch them in the face. There was a billing complication with one of the sites I designed so, as it was already down, we decided to switch servers, and if I'm switching servers, I should redesign it the way I want it... None of this is hard - if its planned. Without warning doing it all at once was a little stressful (especially because there was a lot of contacting other people for log ins and passwords that had been long forgotten)... >.<
I also got the commission for PasstheSushi.com's about me page and I was so excited I switched the theme for that site immediately.
As soon as I am done this post, I am shutting my computer off and playing fetch with my cat.
