Even with school in full swing, I make it a point to continue with artowrk. One thing that I find hard to do is sustain longer projects while in school. In turn, I always feel that if I finish a project in a few days it must not be as “good”. I guess it is my own little issue, but I should really start realizing that it is good when it is done…regardless of how long it takes. Anyway, what is new:
I have two new illustrations here. One is an Olympic afterthought and the other is focused on Chicago’s favorite son, Barack Obama.
I have designed a logo for some friends who are getting married next year, and I created a game called Diner Lingo that tests your knowledge of, well, Diner Lingo. Check it out here.
Finally, I will soon complete a mural for a friend of mine. When it is done, I will be putting it here.
I’m sure I’ll have more stuff here…unless I start working on those “longer” projects.
One Year…No Car
I have tried to avoid posting about things that are not inspiration related, but I think this fits since I am an inspiration to myself. Over a year ago, I sold my car in an effort to be more “green” and save money. And let’s just say, I have barely missed it. Yes, my wife still has a car and I do use it for some things, but for the most part, I bike, take the train, take the bus, and walk. It is amazing how often I have NOT needed the car. When you have one, it seems like you HAVE to have one. Yet, there are so many things that I can do without it. And, I have sort of forced myself to do with public transportation. For instance, I’m not a big fan of carrying of bags while on the train or bus, but I maje it happen. Even thought the public transportation here in Chicago can be frustrating, the time I supposedly “waste” in transit I can use to watch movies on my phone or read. You really can’t beat it. I just hope that when I move out of the city I will still be able to live without a car…
