fill in the blank

I’m still hangin’ in there…

…in life, that is.

Nothing much has been going on lately. Still being an RA, still not making a good example in front of the kids, still not a superhero. But I digress…

This is going to sound like I’m being a total showboat, but I’ve been getting a lot of freelance projects lately. After that whiny-baby post I made several months ago about how no one will hire me, it’s happened. How come? I cannot tell you. The place I interned for, DGinventive, wants me to design a party invite. I just started doing the sketches, and the final will be due within the month. Someone who is a representative for Target (I think?) just contacted me to do some illustrations as well. If I do end up getting this, it will be my first, 100% professional freelance job. I’ll get payed and everything. I’m really excited but also extremely nervous. That will be due in mid-August. I’m also working on more t-shirt designs for Martin, Ben and Steven’s friend (and possibly other shambotters’ friend). On a quick sidenote, the ‘secrets of the city life’ shirts are on sale at Design Collective! I saw them today and almost cried. I swear once I see someone wearing that shirt I’ll be the happiest person alive. Here is a link to BlueScrn Apparel.

Lastly, here is a drawing from my food illustration class. We’re working on packaging design for candy or tea. I’m doing candy. I think this drawing might be on the packaging, but… it doesn’t really fit. So, here’s where the title of this post makes sense:
***Comment what you think the square the boy is holding should say! I couldn’t think of anything funny, so maybe someone else can?
What does it say?

    Bill, my shirt is supposedly going to arrive this week. To which I say: “Rawk!” Keep makin’ shirts and I’ll keep buyin’ ‘em!

    Actually, it doesn’t have to be the name of the candy. It can be anything! I was thinking last night it could say, “i hate you”, or something along the lines of that. I couldn’t think of anything clever…

    Tim: YESSSSSSSSSSSSssssssssssssss. That’s so awesome!
