READY FOR THE HOLIDAY

This month has flown by and Christmas will be here before we know it people. I figured I better put a picture of our tree up for a few reason. But, mainly because it is a fake tree. This is a big deal at our house. Matt has always been so avid about having a real tree. This year we decided to grab one at the lovely Wal-Mart due to the fact we have been short on time. 

And here is the holiday card that I designed for my Momma. I had a lot of fun working on it and was glad that I was able to do it for her. I hope everyone is having a good holiday. It's great to almost be done with the semester and to be able to spend time with the fam.

Until next time.

a starving artist, huh?

Some of you may know that I am currently trying to get my bachelors degree in graphic design. Well, I haven't been doing a whole lot of designing this summer and decided I wanted to do something fun. Last week I decided I wanted to illustrate a picture of my little family (hence the illustration above). And, I actually had a lot of fun working on it. I'll probably have it featured on a shelf in my home.
Whenever people ask me what I'm going to school for I always seem to get responses like, "a starving artist huh" "I thought about that graphic design but, then decided that I wanted to actually make some money" "what is that" or "what can do you with that kind of degree". I could keep going but, I won't. On a side note, not everyone is negative about my career choice. I have great family and friends that support me.
Designing makes me happy and who doesn't want to be happy for the rest of their life, right? I'm glad to be graduating, but at the same time I'm crapping my pants. I have no idea what the future hold for me and if I will land that "awesome" job.
