Hello Shambotians.

While Joel visits our Chicago chapter (whose only member I’m sure was excited), I have done a lot of really not so interesting things this weekend! Saturday I worked (of course) and talked about such stimulating things as soup.

I also attended a tots sweet Oktoberfest party thanks to Katie’s equally sweet internship. The best part was Ernie, who we have seen featured previously on Shambo. He is seriously such a cute giant piece of dog. He was also being a huge baby, not getting any food for eating. I’m sure Katie can tell you more on the subject of the pros of the party. There is a boot involved.

Also, I am spending a lot of time right now working on UFO related projects! The whole design department is doing UFO related assignments. For those who don’t go to MCAD and think I am kidding right now, let me assure you, I am not. Aliens. Everywhere. I am basing two of my projects on the story of Kelly Cahill, a fascinating tale ofj abduction, memory, and mysterious uterus marks. Good reading. Fantastic.

In art related news, I am trying to push my skills as an illustrator who uses paint. Acrylic seems to really be my best bet right now – gouache I just end up using like acrylic, but I’m testing it still. Also, I’m trying to push my skills as an illustrator who uses the computer. This is hard, it’s like there is a devil on one shoulder and an angel on the other – except I don’t know which medium represents which. YOU DECIDE?!
