Baby you can drive my car…

Friday, November 27th, 2009

Things are slowing down a bit for Christmas, but since I am moving on Monday (again!), I’m not complaining.  Thank goodness to be gone from the miserable downtown apartment building with the crusty and dishonest neighbour and into the cute little 3 bedroom house, complete with a fully-fenced backyard and neighbourhood full of kids my daughter’s age!

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!

Whodunnit?

Turned Down

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

It has been a busy, busy month - which always makes me very happy indeed, but does make it a bit quiet on the blogging front!  I had some really great clients this month, but funny enough I also had more than my usual number of hard-to-pleasers… 2, but a record nonetheless!

Funny enough, the work done for both was work I thought was really heading somewhere good… c’est la vie!

I’ve revised this a little to remove their branding, but here is one of the pieces in question…

On the other hand, I also had some really great easy-peasy clients this past month too… here’s some of what I’ve worked on:

And of course, there was the usual stuff that I can’t share just yet, but will update you with upon release by their respective owners!
