I am nearing completion of my projects. Senior Thesis is down. Figure drawing is very close and Animation just around the corner. So then where does this leave this blog? It would leave it in a strange Limbo but I’d like to keep using it. There are a lot of changes coming in the next year. During that time I would like to really stretch and expand my knowledge of both design and illustration. Meaning more side projects and development of my existing skill sets. I’ll be posting those projects here as they come. I may modify some sections, like Blood Clots. Hopefully those wont be an issue any more as March 28 denotes one year since diagnosis and treatment should be done by then, and when I say done I mean DONE.
We also have a big deal happening around August 24th. That marks the expected delivery date of our first baby! HOORAY! So things will change. This has been a big adjustment for me and I’m sure there will be even more adjusting, but I’m looking forward to it. It also has been a big motivator. What do I want this child to know about me? That I’m a floater? Just going through the paces? or that I’m a designer? A damn good one. That am an Illustrator? A great one. So those are the things I’m going to be working on, both in skill and scholastically. I’ve been very critical of the educational institute I’ve attended and there is more and more research showing that I’m more right than I’m wrong. There’s the saying you get what you want out of college (and life for that matter), so I’m charting my goals and working towards them, to be a better design in both skill and thought.
I realize that so much of what I’ve done in the last few years hasn’t been motivated by good/positive things, so I’m really trying to let the good things in my life (my job, friends, family, wife and child) become the focus of what I do. Here is to positive and new directions!
