I cannot believe that graduation is almost upon me...it feels so close I can touch it! At the same time- am I ready? What happens when I no longer have school as a security blanket? I am going to have to go out and find my own health insurance...I am not even sure how to do that? *sigh* All I have to look forward to is the end of interning and no more mundane projects that are so influenced by my professors. It is time to do what I want- now, am I ready for it?

Now that you had to listen to that- here are a couple new rec posters.

Busy Busy Busy

So everything is keeping me sooooo busy! Here is a photo from a senior shoot I just did. I am trying to keep uploading more fine art/design stuff if I can.

Back to School!

Okay, so it is time to get back in the groove of things. Everything is falling back into place and I am going to try and find more time for my own work. Here is a back-to-school poster I did for AIGA Bsu to help us recruit some new members. I will be posting a lot more soon. Thanks for following me guys- I am glad you didn't give up.

The Rec

So I currently have a job at the campus rec center on Boise State campus as a designer- I just design promo posters for sporting events I know nothing about. Here is some the the stuff I have done so far: The flag football one already got rejected (he thought the concept was confusing)...so it really limits the inspiration to be creative---oh well. I will share it with you guys!

Magazine

What the hell have I been up to!?

Okay, so I bet all of you are wondering where I have been and why I don't have any new work up...welp- the big answer to that is that I am currently working 2 design internships as well as my waitress job and I am working on getting my business together. Ampersand Studios will be up and running in no time at all!! If you guys are interested in keeping up with the updates- www.ampersand-studios.com is our site (no there isn't much on it yet) and we are also on Twitter I will most definitely keep posted on our progress! Also- check back here and I will get more of my weird shit up in no time. :-)

AIGA BSU

I am now the Vice President of AIGA BSU Student Chapter- this is a poster I designed for an upcoming event.

Postcard Design

I got a a new job doing part time freelance for a design firm in Boise. Most of the work they do is out of TX, this is also an out of state client "Advanced Pain Care" who needed a postcard to let their clients know they were switching locations.
I am proud that I built this all by myself completely vector! Yay!

After the Circus

The Chicken or The Egg

Here is the logo I designed for a corporate identity project. It is a modern "vintage" tattoo shop that prints the work of their tattoo artists on apparel and novelties.

Sorry I haven't been uploading much lately!! I will be better about it! I promise....

Fun in Class with John Francis

So last week, Francesca and I had a drawing contest during our class critique that consisted of us drawing our professor....well this is the outcome of my drawing which we decided to print on T-shirts. We then wore our T-shirts to his class today...he was a really good sport! All in the fun of design eh?

This is an assignment from a couple years ago- we were supposed to record something we do regularly for a couple of weeks and then present it in a vehicle that takes a stand on the habit. My habit was lipgloss application and I presented it in pop-up book form.
