Here are a couple of the frames, but to see the fully animated ads, check out the Globe’s index page. Fun!  You might have to refresh a couple of times before they come up, but one ad appears in the header and one on the right-hand sidebar.

In other news, SO busy right now but looking forward to updating you soon.  Cool things will be going live/being published over the next few weeks!

]]> http://www.amydewolfe.com/blog/?feed=rss2&p=180 Well Hello There, Stranger! http://www.amydewolfe.com/blog/?p=169 http://www.amydewolfe.com/blog/?p=169#comments Thu, 22 Apr 2010 03:37:05 +0000 Amy http://www.amydewolfe.com/blog/?p=169 We just returned from a wonderful vacation in good old Orlando (yes, Disney).  We drove, which I highly recommend, as long as you aren’t taking an under-2 year old, who will be convinced that you are sadistic and out to torture them for entertainment…. and trust me, it won’t be entertaining for anyone.  But the princesses delighted all 3 little girls we took, and I always enjoy spending time with my parents.

So it is back in the saddle and I’ve done so much work since my last update, that it is hard to know where to begin, but with approximately 3000 unique visitors per month (thank you visitors!), it will be worth the effort to hopefully give you some entertainment that doesn’t involve begging to be set free of car seats and being hit in the head by flying pencils thrown by disgruntled toddlers.

Here goes….

Now that we are officially going to be living in the ‘burbs, I bought a car!  This will be my first car since the $300 Ford Tempo I owned 10 years ago (holy, time flies!) and I’m excited.  My dad is driving it up on Sunday and it will be so exciting to be able to install our car seats and keep them put for the foreseeable future!  I’m also looking forward to a lot more fresh air and outdoor activity!

In work news, here’s the latest.  It’s a logo for a web banner.  They’ll be using a simplified version for the business cards and smaller uses, but I thought this turned out to be pretty sweet.

Lastly, I was excited to learn that at least one of my donated prints was sold at the aforementioned “Whodunnit” event.  The proud owner was kind enough to contact me and let me know how happy he was with his purchase.  Very cool!
