So if you can't tell by now, typography and photography are 2 of my favorite elements of design, it just so happens that I'm vain enough to use myself as the subject matter when I combine the two sometimes. I decided instead of a drawing I wanted an actual picture of me for my redbubble page and threw this together from another picture I took for facebook and whatnot. I hope someday I'm famous enough (ahurrr) to invest in a canon rebel because my powershot's 7.1 megapixels just aren't cutting it anymore. The lighting in this is HEAVILY edited in Lightroom and Photoshop because my camera just does NOT handle low lighting well and considering I broke the flash last year well, there's not much I can do about it. Anyone care to donate $600 to the purchase of a new camera for me? Anyone? Nahhhhh, didn't think so.

The font in this as usual is my staple favorite, Avenir set to 55 and 35 weights. I wish I had discovered Photoshop's paragraph and text editing stuff sooner, I feel kind of stupid for taking so long to do so. Oh well, better late than never. Damn I love that scarf.

The Second Coming:The Beginning Of The End

Not really an art post but more a personal one. My 8 day visit to see my boyfriend is coming to a close. I leave tomorrow night which sucks but that's part of being in a long distance relationship. The sooner I get back to Florida the sooner I can get back to finding a job and save to move up with/near him instead of messing with flying back and forth.

In ART related news, thanks to my boyfriend, I'm going to be installing Adobe Flash, InDesign and upgrading Photoshop CS3 to CS4. Not really necessities but they'll be nice to have. I just installed Lightroom 2 so I should be set with Adobe stuff for now: Ps, Ai, Id, Fl CS4 and Lr2.

Commissions will be coming up soon I promise, after the current batch I've got quite a few to post on here.

H814//The Second Coming!

SO YEAH, It's totally not obvious I'm a fan of Mark Riddick.

Anyways yeah, just a shirt design I threw together in photoshop. I've been wanting to do my own clothing company for some time, I'm not sure where to begin or what to do other than make designs until I know what else to do, so here's where I'm starting. The name H814 Clothing (HATE ONE FOUR if you didn't get that adurrrrrr) is basically a mixture of me respecting my roots and pretending I'm a clever badass. 814 is my hometown's area code and I just threw the H on there to be cool. :V

Anyways that crap aside check it. 24 hours from now, I'll have been through all the airport shit and I'll be with my boyfriend! After 5 months of not seeing him you can only imagine how pumped I am to see him. :)
