Hoes and Logos

I decided to enter a logo contest at the last minute. I wasn't going to tell anyone unless I won, but I don't care if they pick mine, I love it.

I ended up staying up late Thursday night creating it, getting only 2 broken hours of sleep before heading off to the office....ya know, paid work. I worked at my computer for most of the morning until I finished my project and went looking for more active things to do (to help stay awake and pass the time faster). After helping in the warehouse, I got assigned garden duty. Yes please and thank you. I made 4 mound rows and planted onions in the first. The only tool I used was a hoe...(and a 4x4 to hammer in steaks, but that doesn't count, right?).

My office for the afternoon.

Well, I found it quite funny and ironic that my logo design, created and finished just hours before, also included a hoe. I should mention... I hadn't seen nor used a hoe in at least year, maybe a few years. Then 2 in 12 hours.

New Poster and Ticket Design

VDAY is a great organization and I'm proud to be a part of it. Although this year I'm not performing in the Vagina Monologues, I am creating the marketing materials again. Here's last year's design.

And here are new 2012 Vagina Monologue Posters and tickets.

If you live in the Tahoe area, come check out the show. Last year was standing room only so it's actually going to be 2 nights this year, Friday February 24th and Saturday the 25th.

$$$ that's what i need

I'm in the process of partnering with a writer to illustrate a children's book. I was just reading over the latest version of the contract and remembered this song I heard last night. I had already queued it into my playlist so I had to listen to it again. The line "And if I share with you my story would you share your dollar with me" is so fitting. =)


This is how songs get attached to moments and people in our lives. =)

Design for a good cause

I've been doing some graphic design lately. As I mentioned before, I am volunteering for V-Day this year in South Lake Tahoe, CA. I am going to be in the Vagina Monologues, but I am also helping them with this years promotional items. Here are the design pieces I've done so far.

logo without text. this logo was recreated based on the official VDay logo (displayed at the top) and stickers made for last years event.

the Sex Show 2011 logo

The Sex Show flyer hung up around town. I also made a smaller version (without the lengthy description) that was printed on sticker paper and adhered to individual condoms that we have been handing out to promote the event. It's this Thursday!!! Gonna be so much fun!

If you're near by, come join us. Our fb page

and the cute little ticket to go with it

The program will be the last piece for this project...and probably the least fun, but I'll share it with you if I like how it turns out :)

blog design

For those who actually view my blog in their browser instead of via email or an rss feed, have probably noticed that I have been playing with my blog design. I have had it the same for a year and a half and had planned to custom design it awhile back, but never did. Blogger has made it so much easier to do custom designs now. I'm not 100% sold on this one yet so you might continue to see different headers, etc. If you have a strong preference for one that you see, let me know.
