I had a portfolio review at Knock quite a while ago, these are the thank you cards I mailed to the directors after the meeting.

This has been a pretty busy summer so far. It began with several informational interviews, which helped get my name out there a bit and introduced me to design shops/designers around the city. It also lead to an offer for an internship, but I couldn’t take it! It was a really tough decision, but in the end everything worked out okay.

SES overlapped with a freelance project I’m working on for Spunk, which then overlapped another project with Treat and Company (a partner company with Knock, the portfolio review led to this project). I’d say combined there is about 1 to 4 ratio of illustration to design with these projects, both of which are scheduled to be completed this month. I’m making stuff, so I’m happy. AND I’m learning, yay! I also got to hand off an… interesting project to Emma! Which she can tell you ALL about.

Here’s a secret preview of the project for Treat, shhhhhhhh:

hey guys. I did a 4 panel Sex and the City Movie. Don’t read after the cut if you want SPOILERS as to character’s marital status or changing hair colors…

Many of you probably don’t know this, but my uncle Jimmy is a film critic. He had a column that he used to write (and maybe still does) but now he has a TV Stop, as well! He looks and sounds a lot like my dad and anyone (Evan) who has met my dad will probably agree. (click to play)

Hey dudes.

Soooo… I think brand new Fits that belong to Shambot writers must be cursed. Cuz mine just got OWNED by some ugly old car. That’s right. Before I even got a chance to UPLOAD A PICTURE OF IT ON SHAMBOT my car was hit. We (Alli and myself) got slammed into whilst in transit to the Mall of America. Oh sadness, how many times had we tried desperately to get our patooties to this mecca of shopping? Oh so many times, and none came to fruition until yesterday, and not four blocks away from my apartment were we stopped in our tracks by someone who did not notice that they had a red light. Thankfully, we’re all unharmed (save for some mean aches this morning).

That was, of course, the bad news. The good news is that I tots reopened my etsy shop! There’s a picture of one of the prints available up there at the top of the post. I decided I was ready to delve into that business again, especially because Katie’s shop is SO FRICKIN CUTE. Visit them both. Think fondly of my Fit. over and out.

Probably the nerdiest thing I’ve done lately. Though I’m not ashamed of it and I’m liking it. Chance is a good dungeon master and knows what he’s doing. FUN.

(btw, this is a drunk post) so sorry for misspellings/gramar
