Bow and Arrow Press
I apologize for the lack of updates but this month I took a class on the letterpress at Harvard and it was an intense crash course, 4 hours a day for 4 days for 3 weeks straight. Waking up at 6 am finally caught up with me this week… but the class is over! So next week will be back to regular schedule. I have posted below a few images my letterpress instructor took of the work that was done. The pic below is of the background of a poster I did of Carl Sagan’s “We are star stuff which has taken its destiny into its own hands”… as a conclusion of the class, I am now ‘officially’ trained on the letterpress and can attend the Open Press Nights on Wednesdays during the spring semester. So now I think I know what I’ll be doing on my wednesday nights 🙂

Redefining Electrography Portfolio
After the Visual Alchemy reception I was describing my work to a childhood friend and said that the pieces that I consider having “artistic quality” are pieces where there was a form that you could relate to.. but it may or may not be exactly that form – so in essence the light from the electricity created these forms that we could relate to (Kelp formed a heart at the roots). For example, in Bluebells, there are two ‘eyes’ in the pieces that were created from the bluebell plant. Another example is Pine Needles which has the image of a pregnant woman. I recently had a friend of mine write inspirational descriptions along with each piece and concluded that the ‘REAL’ portfolio pieces were the ones that had forms you could relate to. I’m not sure why it wasn’t obvious to me before… but it makes sense. I now have 6 solid pieces that would be considered as my portfolio. I hope that in Italy, I’ll add a few more using vines from grape plants. 🙂

Believe! in the things you can do
This is more apt for a New Year’s post, but I feel inspired to write it now. I keep a physical journal on my desk with the word “Believe” on it that I have stored away for use for writing down project ideas. My intention is to use it as an idea journal. But this is for projects only, not necessarily for career goals and accomplishments. I’m getting a better sense of my direction as an artist, where my artwork falls and who appreciates it, and what to do with it and as a result finding opportunities that are more apt to my interests as an artist.
I believe in the spoken word rule, meaning if I speak it before I have solid foundation on the opportunity, I more often than not will loose that chance! So I have given up on the Art Contest series that I was doing in the fall and will just keep quiet on the things that I do submit to – these opportunities below I have no submitted to but plan to.
On facebook there is a nice way to save links now and I have been saving things that I want to do as an artist in the future – gives me ideas to keep busy!

Hyannis, Hyarts Shanty Acceptance
I am really excited about this! My artwork was accepted to do a week in an artist shanty in Hyannis during 4th of July! This is the first time I’ve really got to an opportunity to sell my work in a retail setting. I’ve already started to think about the inventory and such. I still have to sign a contract and start paying for it. The week I have is 6/29-7/5 so I’ll end with July 4th.

Yay!
I’m getting really excited for some the things I’ve been doing at work. I started to work on a product catalog but that catalog will be in a more artistic slight than interior design/’professional’. The website for them is going well too and I’m excited to see that taking shape.
It’s interesting working for someone whose so visual because I’m so used to working with people who aren’t as visual. It’s nice in a way because usually when I show him the work I do, he generally likes it. When I try to explain it to him sometimes the idea doesn’t come across as appealing as when I translate it into visuals. When I work on a project, I look for that. When the client starts to not like what I’m translating into visuals, that’s when the project starts to fail and crumble. I think it’s also because he has a clear idea of where the direction of the store is heading in and based on my design style and his idea it’s a good fit.
I had a phone interview yesterday with a start-up travel/lifestyle blogger position. I reached out to them because I wanted to get more experience in this area of my skills. And I figured a start-up would be a good place for that. I am also in the middle of doing an infographic for another blogging position and recently reconnected with a design group out in philly for a project to start in January. Lots of things going on!
