Quickie

I am tired as all get out right now but I am trying to make my blog entries more consistent.

New happenings...

I recently nabbed a seasonal part time in addition to having a unusual flood of graphic projects. They all were due within this week. I've made major progress on them...

Recent Inspiration...

I discovered some wickedly AWESOME music. Songs include Aquarius Rising by Sy Smith, Starship by Yahzarah, Remake of I Care 4 U by Jesse Boykins 3, Sweet Disposition (Alan Wilkis Mix) by Temper Trap...

New work WILL be posted soon

Update...

Since my last entry, my precious Imac G5 passed on. The logic board gave out... It was a sad day. Fortunately, I backed up most of my work, music and videos after the power supply was repaired in mid-August. I am on the search for my next computer.

In the meantime, I have a few fashion projects I am working on as well as thinking of what to create as my birthday outfit... I have absolutely NO CLUE!! I have a week until the big event. Hopefully it will come to me tonight when I start sketching... So on that note...

FYI
On my current playlist is a GREAT new artist... Leah Smith... I just saw her recently in DC and will possibly see her in concert again along with Mali Music this coming Friday...
My FAVORITE song by her is "Monster"... Check it OUT!

New Work: Kimberly Nichole

A number of lightbulbs have been going off in my mind lately. The creative juices are flowing! I think it has something to do with the turn of season. I am a fall baby so I am in my element when the weather cools downs. It's something about brisk fall evenings with my hot green tea in hand that makes me smile.

I have a number of graphic projects in the works including illustrations featuring some of my favorite true soul artists. I've been talking about the idea for sometime but it is OFFICIALLY in the works.

One of the artists I will be including is Kimberly Nichole. She recently released an album and yours truly designed her album cover. She also used the graphic as the header on her website, you can view it at www.kimberlynichole.com/_/IN_THE_KNOW.html .

She is an insane vocalist and performer. I got hooked on her music when I saw her perform her version of Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy" on youtube. Please check her out! Purchase her album you will not be disappointed.

Inspiration...

I just returned from my week getaway to the Outer Banks...

Late Nights

It is late... I'm working on a graphic project. I just sent it to the client... waiting on the feedback.

Lately, I've been keeping my eyes peeled for inspiration for fall and spring. I have a few photos that I will upload soon as I learn to upload from my phone...

The collection

The Verdict

The final judgment... I didn't win the Artscape competition... BUT I received a lot of positive feedback on my collection and a lot of doors are opening that may not have been had I not entered. I have accomplished so much in even this small step... God has much in store...
