Job update:
I got a test project from the skateboard brand Enjoi on Thursday night, which is awesome. I’m not going to post it just because I really don’t know how those things work legally, but I like how it turned out. I am a bit worried since I realized at the last minute they were emphasizing illustration and I went more graphic art. Even though I like what I turned in, it could have been more awesome if it hadn’t coincided with the UCSB Water Ski Team’s alumni weekend and I didn’t get sick from said lake trip. Most of the shenanigans involved are better left unsaid, but it was a lot of fun and I got to ski on the course for the first time in months, which felt great.
Personal/Freelance update:
As of yesterday I’m on the final stretch of the art project I teased at last week. The text is done, the background needs a little tweaking and now I just need to do three more. I’m wondering if I should just post them one by one or wait until the set is finished.
I guess I hit a sweet spot with my batch of resumes because I received all kinds of comments and inquiries into work based off last weeks post. Thank you everyone that took a look, hopefully you’re here this week too. As always I would love to hear comments and I am available for freelance work, design or otherwise.
I hate that I can’t include any art for fear it will hurt my job chances so here is a link to one of my favorite webcomics of all time:
