It struck me today that everyone who practices multiple disciplines (usually motherhood, work and some kind of hobby) talks about balance. I don’t work the way they say I’m supposed to. You’re supposed to focus on one thing for a really long time and make it really successful before moving on to something else. But [...]
Techie Things I Love About Writing
One of the things I love most about being a writer (besides the writing) is reading about writing (second only to watching movies about writers but that’s a totally different topic). It is through this pursuit that I discovered a neat little blog called Writers in the Virtual Sky. WITVS is run by a writer [...]
Other People’s Art Spaces Part 1
It’s lovely when people actually want to help with a project especially when you ask them to but I definitely see why so many artists go out of their way to get their own spaces. The experience I’m having now starting my film series is definitely enough to make me realise the value of owning [...]
New Art Project, It Girl Films and Other Stuff
Something I haven’t done a lot of talking about lately is film. It’s been on my mind lately and I’m finally taking the leap into it. I think the main reason I haven’t done anything about it before is one of comparison. I have a bad habit of comparing my ideas to everyone else’s and [...]
Designing and Writing
So it seems that try as I might to be different than absolutely everyone else on the planet…I am like everyone else. Mind you, I do only mean this where money is concerned. Whatever activity is making me the most money at any given time is what I tend to spend the most time on. [...]
Excitedness!
I went on an interview today and guess what? I am now a teacher at a local community college! Of course that’s not as impressive as it could be but it is one step closer to my ultimate goal of teaching at a university (trust me, the experience counts). I’m going to be teaching digital [...]

Dvorak Rocks, PS Brushes and Graphics Inquiries
Last night I got the idea to Last.fm Vivaldi and I discovered something–Dvorak rocks. Allow me to explain why Dvorak would rock when I Lasted Vivaldi. For those of you who have never used Last.fm the reason I like it so much is that it makes it so much easier to discover new music. When [...]
Ocean Paintings
I’m starting a new series today though I don’t know when I will post them of paintings about the sea. I suppose Ghost Ship could be the first one in the series but it’s not. The first one is called The Escape but it’s not finished yet so :p you’ll know when it’s up.
OMG
Ok so I finished my first solution for a real graphic design job today. I hope it works out…actually that’s an understatement I’m about to pass out!
It’s an Italian cosmetics company so not only am I trying to beat out all kinds of other applicants but I’m trying to live up to the standards I [...]
