Go Obama!

Illustration Friday - Strings

When I saw this week's word, guitar strings popped into my mind, and I thought of this illustration I created for a brochure on savings and investing for kids. This was one of the few times I got to use my illustration skills at my job. Here is the finished brochure cover.

VOTE FOR ME!

Slump

Just posting to let you know that I'm still alive! I've been in a slump and have not been creating anything lately – creating makes me happy, but I don't feel like creating because I'm not happy. Man - what a Catch 22!

To make matters worse, I hate my job now – there's no creativity going on there anymore (the company I work for has been taken over by a bank and everything has changed for the worse). I'm actively looking for a new job (as a graphic designer), so then there's the ole' self doubting that goes along with that.

To keep me from totally giving up on my art, I still read other inspiring blogs - thank God for those that keep on writing and inspiring me, including Penelope, Holli, Violette, and Dani, an artist I just discovered. Thank you for keeping me (and I'm sure loads of others) inspired! You guys really are appreciated!
