I Have Split My Personalities!

I haven't posted here for a while because I was having a bit of an identity crisis. I am both a freelance graphic designer and a children's illustrator and felt that the two sides of me needed separate outlets. This blog has always been mainly about my road to publication in the children's market as an illustrator, and will remain that way. My website has been updated to represent that side of me only. I have added a new persona and website to reflect my designer side of me. Take a look at Fiery Red Creative here! I'm excited to finally have a single focus for each site. Now I gotta concentrate on doing more work!

Sketching

I'm going to try and post more sketches here. I feel like I've been neglecting you, dear blog. Sorry about that - I had a Twitter crush for a while, but I know you're always here for me.

STL Provocateur

It was my pleasure to have designed this logo for STL Provocateur, a local group who wants to help make St. Louis a better city. They aim to provide timely information about policy changes that will allow public engagement before decisions are made. 

Their first challenge was to come up with increasing the accessibility of healthy, locally grown food in St. Louis as part of the GOOD Ideas for Cities project. They are presenting their ideas tonight at the Contemporary Art Museum.

For more information about the team and the project, check out their interview with ALIVE Magazine. Good luck tonight!
