print ideas

Yesterday, Matt taught me how to use Illustrator! Well, he taught me how to use the pen tool, which has always eluded me in my Photoshop studies (of the past 8 years or so). We're working on coming up with print ideas for our gocco so i messed around with some ideas and came up with these -





I'm trying to keep them one color because it will be easier for printing on the gocco but we have one with registration plates so it's not like it's impossible to do multiple layers.

Other than that, I have been making lots of healthy food...tonight we had shrimp with whole wheat pasta and cherry tomatoes with cauliflower on the side. And a mixed berry & fat-free yogurt smoothie!

Tomorrow I'm going to greenpoint to be an artist's assistant (sounds important, doesn't it?)...I hope it works out and I meet some cool people!

Card #1, Scanned Photos

A possibility for a card...it would say Merry Christmas between the bow and the bottom but I didn't want to ruin it with my handwriting when I'm not sure how to write it yet, so...

I also scanned in some more old slides that I found at the thrift store a few years ago. Ignore the incredibly annoying green line in every picture...apparently all of my electronic equipment is dying these days :( The pictures are from 1958 and I just realized I scanned a few in backwards, so that's why the writing is all weird. Sorry!












This baby is about 50 years old now...pretty weird.

Sketches for Sebastien Idea

Today, I also made cinnamon toast (difficult, I know..) and dyed my hair dark brown! Tomorrow I'm going to get Illustrator and work on coloring in some images on the computer to see if I like that more than the Prismacolors I usually use.
