So here I am, at the very start of summer vacation, and already I’ve completely fallen off the creative train. It really feels like I need other people telling me what to do all the time if I expect to get anything done. I’m more other-actualized instead of self actualized, as if I have a deadline I can meet it, but when I have no such restrictions I just think things into oblivion and rarely get them done.
Things I’d like to do this summer? Well I’d like to have reason to work more in after effects, if anyone has some kind of video project they’d been thinking about making and have never gotten around to, be sure to let me know. I’m your hookup. Which reminds me that I should find a place to upload my project to so people can actually watch it.
If anyone needs business cards, logos, or websites, or posters, or anything graphic design oriented, lemme know. I feel confident that I can fulfill your requests.
Aside from all that I think I’m going to try to get some more Pulp Heroes churned out, and I see a wacky and wild site redesign on the horizon, because I have some new visual ideas to work with.
That image up top is my graphic design final for the semester, a delightful cover for a book called Tea & Other Ayama Na Tales. There’s a chance that my cover will actually end up on the book should the author fall in love with it, but there’s also a 16 in 17 chance that someone else from my class will have that honor bestowed upon them. In any event, I really like the way it turned out.
Oh, and I also thought I’d update you on the status of the Devil Industries shirts. I had hoped to have them with me when I got to Columbus on Friday, but it seems that the folks at Broken Arrow Shirts are a little slow when it comes to that thing we do with our mouths, and sometimes our fingers. What’s it called? Oh yeah, communicating. And you guys were probably thinking foreplay or oral sex. In all likelihood an attempt to deliver the shirts will be made while I’m in Ohio, and I’ll come home to find that they’ve been shipped back to Iowa.
This post was not done on my new Mac Book Pro. Sorry to disappoint you, Charles. It seems that Mac Users have no concept of an all-inclusive ftp client. At the moment, I prefer the free filezilla for Windows over all the shareware versions of less good products available on the Mac. Think I’m being a Microsoft nut hugger? I’ll be very happy if you can point me to a program that proves me wrong.
UPDATE: I proved myself wrong by downloading filezilla for Mac. For some reason when I touch the Mac, it’s like entering into some kind of mental miasma of computer retardation. I guess a guy could get use to that.
