Note to Self

Hey,

My dog loves to play with the water hose. And if I'm trying to wash the car he wont get out of the way of the water hose, and comes close to jumping on the car. So for the safety of the MINI I put Lex on the back porch... well, he wasn't happy. :) But I thought it was funny.

ok... so last Wednesday was my first day at work. I had to fill out about a million forms and wrote my name, address and SS# until my hand went numb. Then I got a tour around the building, was shown all the proper places to exit in the event of a fire or something tragic, and went to this creepy place called "the tunnel" which is for storage, and tornado shelter but is not somewhere I would want to venture to alone.

I also got a 'fob' (key to the building) and my own cubicle with a rolly chair. That's what I'm most excited about I think. I went to wal-mart and purchased some picture frames for my desk. :) So I can show off my family I guess.

But yeah, today will be my second day.

But I better go because I have class in 10 minutes.

:)

I was just really bored... and I've been interested in elephants recently... so here ya go.

ok... so first off the parking ticket people are weird. They made my ticket $40 instead of $65, which I'm fine with... BUT they send this booklet with the parking rules.

April 6th I will start my new job as the new production artist for the Council of State Governments. I'm pumped!

She called me today when I was riding a horse and I dropped my phone on concrete and made Ryley get off her horse and get it. :) what a good friend. I was scared it wouldn't work but it was just fine. thank goodness...

So anyways I called her back and she told me I could have the job. I was really shocked because I didn't think I would get it. I thought they would pick some one more qualified and had more experience. But I GOT IT!!!

Ooh, and I still haven't heard anything about that parking ticket... I wish they would tell me what is going on. Ooh well... maybe they will just forget about it and we can all just move on with our lives. :)

Well thanks all for now.

I looked up my name on urban dictionary and found this... apparently I'm awesome... who knew? lol I thought it was kinda funny.

My dog is Helvetica... bold... :)

I just got a call a little while ago from the lady from Council of State Governments... I got a job interview next week there to be a production artist part time. WOOOOH FREAKIN HOOOOO!!!

I'm sitting in that Art Building with nothing to do. I finished my logo design project and now I feel a slight void in my life. I need to get to work on a project in my printmaking class, but it's hard to get started when I have no idea what I'm going to do...

So that leaves me sitting in the Computer Lab typing this... fun fun fun.

I'm going to post some pictures of my finished logo design soon. I didn't go with the "Granny's Goodies" design, (All though she does need some help, maybe a new name even) I went with an organization on campus. Hopefully my design can be used in real life and I'll finally have some real job experience. So keep your fingers crossed.

OOh I got a parking ticket! I parked at the rec with no sticker, but I honestly thought it was ok. I see cars up there with no stickers all the time. But ooh well... $65 that I don't have to give. So I don't know what to tell them. Not to hold their breath I guess...

So that's what I'm doin... being bored and trying to think about a way to get out of my ticket.

Wish me luck...

I thought this was funny...

I'm not sure what Darrell will say... so I'm kinda nervous about following through with this one... but I think it's funny. So we'll see.

I posted something on notcot.org and it made it!!! I don't know why I'm so excited, but I am... here is my contribution: a nifty iPhone case... I saw it and wanted it... but it's like $100. So no, this will not be protecting my phone any time soon... :( But I think it's pretty neat.

These are some prints that I'm starting to work on in Printmaking. I actually like where they are going. Usually I look at my stuff and think it could be better, but with these I kinda feel like I'm going in a good direction. Like in the direction of something I might frame. :) These are just rough acetone transfers of the basic idea I'm working with. But I think they look good too.

Our Latest "exercise" was to combine a few past "exercises". First we drew random lines on a graph paper, and then used a sharpie to pick out specific shapes from that drawing. We picked three total and then described them, (personified them...) THEN... in a separate assignment we had to collect colors from specific images, like our clothing, a landscape, a g-college building, and our rooms. So when we had those color swatches we combined the two assignments.

All in all it was a pretty low key weekend.

This is a drawing done in adobe illustrator. We were talking about symmetry and I thought I'd be really cool and make a super elaborate design and I was pleased with the way it came out. But them we had to cut the image into one inch squares and rearrange the pieces into a asymmetrical design. Well since my drawing didn't leave any square completely white I had a hard time coming up with something interesting. My end result looks like a mess... but I guess it was a learning experience.

This first assignment was dealing a lot with lines. We had to try to make as many different types and variations of line as we could. Well, the cut off was 20. Then we used tracing paper and put all the lines together. I didn't really like my combined line drawing, but thought that the idea of making a simple line different ways was interesting. It's something I never really put a lot of thought into.

Hi!I thought that I would start a blog to keep track of my work.
